Innovating
I adapt behaviors and create new strategies for unique student needs and situations.
A teacher notices when energy levels of a class seem to be declining and pre-emp- tively uses re-engagement strategies to boost energy levels before students are completely disengaged. The teacher often uses a combination of strategies that simultaneously boost the energy levels of the entire class and specific students who appear to be less interested than others.

Applying
I notice and react when students are not engaged, and I monitor the extent to which my actions affect students’ engagement.
A teacher notices when students are not engaged and, depending on the situation, effectively uses specific strategies to re-engage either individual students or boost the energy level of the entire class. The teacher also keeps track of the effects of a given strategy and how successful it is in the short term (immediately re-engaging a student) and the long term (after a chunk of time has passed during class).

Developing
I notice and react when students are not engaged, but I do not monitor the effect on students.
A teacher notices when students are not engaged and uses specific strategies to re-engage them. However, the teacher does not keep track of which activities successfully re-engage students in the material and which are less effective.

Beginning
I use the strategies and behaviors associated with this element incorrectly or with parts missing.
A teacher may notice when students are not interested or engaged in the materials but does not take action to re-engage the students. Rather, the teacher focuses on students who are paying attention.

Not Using
I am unaware of strategies and behaviors associated with this element.
A teacher is so focused on getting through a lesson that he or she does not pay attention to the interest level of the class and, as such, does not notice when students are not paying attention to the material being presented.
