I felt like the teacher I observed did pretty well in actively engaging her students, but I have seen more effective methods in the classes I have worked in as a Para-educator. The teacher that I observed for my fieldwork called on students and she did make sure to continue to call on students who hadn't been called on yet during the lesson. I didn't really observe other methods of keeping students actively engaged in the lesson.
The teachers that I have worked with as a para-educator have some techniques that I definitely would like to try and tie into my teaching. While it would need to be modified for a general education class, I think it could definitely be applied- the teacher I work with now does a morning calendar meeting, she goes over the information of the date, weather, and how many days we have been in school- she has the students answer questions as she goes through the information. The students enjoy being called on and it is a good review for them each day on their reading, counting, etc.
