Qualities of Student Engagement:

 * extends beyond classroom
 * choice (content/process/product)
 * novelty and variety
 * authenticity

Use the HEAT rubric to assess the amount of HOTS, engaged learning, authenticity,and technology use in lessons. This rubric would be a great tool for principals and assistant principals to have in their hands when doing walkthroughs and observations. The goal is to have HOT students not hot teachers.

We seem to have come full circle. The charge for tomorrow is lesson writing using the HEAT rubric. Our directions are to bring back with us a lesson that either you as an educator find difficult to deliver because of the content or one that you really enjoy teaching. This is the same strategy we used back in the day when we taught .ppt to teachers and tried to get them to embrace technology in the classroom. It is interested that here we are 11 years later using the same strategy to reach out to teachers to engage them in writing lessons that are high on engagement, authenticity, technology use, and HOTS.
