Cindy Murphy asks:
The question that I seem to hear from teachers comes up when we discuss engagement vs on task behavior. Teachers want to know how can you see engagement. Paula Bevan tells us that engagement = brain sweat, but can we see a kiddo鈥檚 brain sweating. What evidence can administrators and teachers collect that will show true engagement and not on task behavior?
