What counts as evidence of student engagement in Task 2?

• A. Video excerpts and observations showing active participation, collaboration, on-task behavior, and sustained attention, across diverse learners.
• B. Attendance minutes.
• C. Teacher impressions only.
• D. Final grades only.

Answer: (A)

Student engagement is shown through concrete, observable actions during the lesson. In Task 2, you want evidence that captures what students are actually doing as they learn. Video excerpts and systematic observations provide this kind data: they show active participation, collaboration with peers, staying on task, and sustained attention across diverse learners. This kind of evidence reveals how students engage with the tasks over time and across different students, not just who is present or what they achieve afterward. Attendance minutes only show presence, not engagement. Teacher impressions can be subjective and miss patterns across students and moments. Final grades reflect outcomes after the fact and don’t specifically illustrate engagement during the observed instruction. So, video and observational data that document engaged behaviors are the most informative evidence for Task 2.
