Learning the 5 Levels of Engagement

Each person will take a level of engagement and become the expert for the group. If there are only 4 in your group the tallest person will take 2 of the levels of engagement.

Read and prepare to present the level (s) to your group members. Be prepared to share a student in your class that generally demonstrates those qualities. Be specific with the behaviours.

Directions

• Sometimes you will be watching the teacher and sometimes you will be watching students.

• Prior to viewing each video clip, you will be told who to watch for evidence of the profile elements.

• Look for evidence to justify your engagement level choice

• Scavenger Hunt Team Information

Please turn to your Evidence Sheets.• Today’s movie clips come from School of Rock.• After viewing each clip, teams will briefly record evidence of how the

character responded to the work. • Next, teams should check off the profile element (engagement,

strategic compliance, ritual compliance, retreatism, rebellion) that best fits their evidence.

• Example: A team may cite the student comment of, “I did the work because I wanted a good grade” as their evidence. Then they would check off strategic compliance.

• Each team is allowed one vote so teams must come to summary on their vote. Rely upon your evidence to help your vote selection.

• You will have a time limit for each vote. You will be given a 15 second warning before time expires.

Notable Notes on SOR

• This movie features Jack Black, a comedian, musician, and actor. He was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for this performance.

• The student musicians in the video are musicians, not actors. They were picked for this movie for their musical talents. The music you hear is the music they produce.

• This movie is fiction. It is not a video on how to teach. We use these clips because they provide classic examples of how people respond to the work they are given.

• You will see an elaborate class project. You will also see evidence of engagement during work times that are tedious, difficult, and not always fun. Working on the Work may sometimes be ‘hands-on’ but it is always ‘minds-on’.

• So, have fun, laugh. Just remember your mission, watch for evidence of the profile elements!
