From this module, I learned that student engagement is key to meaningful learning, especially in CTE classrooms. Students are more motivated when lessons are hands-on, relevant, and connected to real-life careers. I also learned that engagement increases when students have a voice in their learning, understand expectations, and feel supported in a positive classroom environment.
I plan to apply this by using more interactive activities, real-world examples, and collaborative projects that keep students actively involved. I also want to focus on building relationships and creating lessons that connect skills to future careers so students see the value in what they are learning.
