Dynamically Active Engagement: Rethinking Student Engagement

In each episode of the Inside Our MIND podcast, we take a look at issues and challenges facing education that we are working to address through research, technology and strategic initiatives.

In our latest episode, Brian welcomes MIND’s Lead Mathematician Brandon Smith back to the show, for a conversation about rethinking student engagement. They discuss how engagement is only the first step to getting students dynamically active in their learning, and what guiding questions educators can use when creating or analyzing math experiences.
