Teacher Tips for Engagement, Participation, Callbacks, and Student Expectations (+Video Examples)

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Thanks for requesting this video! It was fun to put together for y'all 🥰

[@LoveShineTeach]

You are a beyond stand up teacher!!! Yay Vegas kids! Blessed!!!

[@EE-hi4re]

Thanks for the vid!

[@Homesteadymommaforjustatime]

Great video thanks

[@versetripn6631]

Why do you seem to enjoy lying so much?

[@deidraroberts9628]

I love it when you say, " Oh you are so smart. Kiss your brain." And you actually kiss your fingers and put your fingers on your brain.

[@Chrissi15]

I like the ‘Hmmm…’ to encourage thinking about a child’s work. Much more positive. Great video!

[@tiffanynichol7765]

The students praising other students is so wholesome 🥹

[@crystalriches]

I love the thinking "hmmm" to indicate mistakes when a student is at the board. Such a great, positive approach. My favorite callbacks: Turtles in the half shell-->turtle power Hear ye hear ye--> the queen is about to speak I also just do random actions (hands on head, wiggling fingers, jumping) quietly until everyone notices.💫

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this! This was sooooo helpful! And thank you for letting me use your; “my turn - your turn” call back….. I love all of your call backs and how you teach your kiddos period - I love how you get so excited with them - yet serious when you need to be…… ☺️

[@MrsCallsCampers]

It's not mine just passing it on! All teachers should use it though it is WONDERFUL! Thanks for watching!!

[@monicaspillman2978]

💫 I always said I should write a book how littles and puppies are basically the same. 😂 My favorite call and response( but love them all) is “my turn/your turn”. Thanks for sharing!!!!

[@MrsCallsCampers]

They are so similar 😂😂😂😂 I was afraid someone might say something about me noting that....but it's true haha

[@Galaxy475]

I love when you use the, "go back and check" call back for your reading lessons. Thank you for making this video!

[@littlebigharvest6893]

Love, Love, Love this video! I have noticed in your videos how engaged your students are, and I appreciate you sitting with us to give such amazing guidance. I started using 'My turn' about a month ago and it is a game changer. I use it also when I want everyone to focus on another student or adult visitor by saying "(name)'s turn!" My students respond immediately and fantastically to this simple call-back. Thank you for all of your amazing vlogs, Mayleen... you've changed my teaching life for the better in so many ways!

[@arieladzerigian707]

Oh my goodness! All of these ideas are so useful(my favorite was "Hmm")!!! Sidenote - I purchased your slides this year and it has been one of my favorite TPT purchase of this school year!!! I'm going to have to rewatch this video in August because this was great PD!!!! Thanks again, Maylene!!!

[@MrsCallsCampers]

That is SO NICE of you to say!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!!!

[@aislinngarcia3971]

Your videos are so helpful you have no Idea! You can just tell how much you love teaching for all the effort you put in every day!

[@kct7495]

I would love a video on your Bee binders! Love your videos! I'm going into my first year of teaching and you're so helpful!

[@heidiebersole2265]

I use callbacks as well. I made the “my turn” one into a google slide and we start the day with it everyday!

[@bethdarnell38]

We only have 4 1/2 days left this school year. I will be using some of these next year. I am loving your videos! I really like the “good for..” in praising students.

[@kaitEBee]

Mayleen, you get me excited to teach! This is a such a helpful video. I had noticed that you had your kids repeat after you a lot, and I started using that several months ago. Definitely helps students participate. Love the "my turn/your turn".

[@MrsCallsCampers]

I love that! It makes teaching more fun, too, doesn't it???

[@jakethiringer1698]

I've been binging so many teacher videos in anticipation of starting my teaching credentials program this fall! I've been using similar callbacks and engagement techniques in my last 5 years doing MS and HS church youth ministry. I'm hoping to teach upper elementary but it's great seeing how these can be used in the lower grades!

[@itzelvega4737]

Loving all the tips! I’ll be sure to review it again before going into student teaching!! 💫

[@samanthalang2211]

I see errorless teaching, prompt fading, and so many research-based strategies mentioned in this video! Kudos!

[@lotsoflovelyhair5005]

Thanks for sharing! I am a homeschool mom of 5 with a bonus 3 year old!! I watch all of your videos to help with my Kindergartener. He just learned to read, it was so helpful watching you this year with your combo class. Thank you soooo much for sharing with us!!! And congrats on your new job!! Can't wait to see more!!!

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Ah! Thank you so much, friend!!!!!!

[@megan1214]

As a first year first grade teacher this fall, this video was so helpful I just watched it twice. 😆 This is so great, thank you!!

[@MrsCallsCampers]

haha i love that!! thank you for watching!!! (twice)!

[@profjanesoares2520]

I love thinking!

[@muinteoirames7952]

Watching this again. 8th year teacher and struggling with engagement in my class of 31 kids!

[@JesseB38]

Love this! Thank you for the tips. I will be going back and watching your videos for ideas that I can implement for next year!

[@taylorfugate9647]

This is so helpful! Thank you! I have a video idea/request for the summer! In know you’ve said before that you do your own dip nails. Can we have a tutorial? I would love to try, but I’m so nervous! 😬

[@kimberlyfarmerwrapmeskinny7970]

I've been catching up on all your videos - and I loved this one! 😊 Quick question: Is there one place I can go to see or watch a list of all of your call-backs and responses? I'd love to implement these in my class this year!

[@naomig3103]

I second this! ☝🏼

[@Mrsksfavoritegrade5]

I really appreciate this video! Super useful!

[@naomig3103]

Loved this video! It was so helpful. I want to include callbacks more this year. I appreciate all the sharing you do for fellow teachers. The best learning comes from other teachers. Side note: where did you get your water bottle? I like the bottle carrier. I can always use extra hand space when carrying all the things. Lol 😂

[@nenoswifey08]

I love all the callbacks you used, you're a great teacher. Did you make the reading poster? Are they available somewhere where I can copy from a projector?

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Yes if you click "all my links" you will find the posters in my free resources

[@nenoswifey08]

Perfect, thank you!

[@kaylynm4193]

💫 Thanks for your tips. 😀

[@telmamiranda7171]

Do you have a video all about secret stories ?

[@shellideckert4735]

Love it! ☺️

[@jenniferconrad3011]

I love this video:)

[@katieklein7450]

Great vid!👏👏👏

[@paulahunt414]

Do you still have a etsy shop?

[@LoveShineTeach]

So excited to be a first commenter!!!

[@MrsCallsCampers]

HI! 🥰🥰🥰

[@nitzaalicea1169]

I enjoy the video.However, proper credit should be given to Mr. Roger from The Rogers in Motion for the callback "My turn, your turn, when is my turn your voices are off..." since you're using his words and gestures.

[@MrsCallsCampers]

I definitely didn't come up with it!

[@MrsCallsCampers]

I actually think someone said it came from a certain curriculum somewhere through the years

[@laurabaerg8095]

Such a great video!! Thank you! You continue to inspire! 🤍
