The point about how crucial it is to address boredom and staying on top of disengaged students (and how it 9is central to all instructional planning) was a key takeaway for me. Also, the reminder that stduents are dfferent and will have different stages in their learning journey, and so not a formula for what it takes to keep all engaged and participating in the learning process. We need to explore and stay open to new strategies for each class.
