This deeplearning fosters attributes of success such as self-efficacy, motivation and persistence. However,the traditional chalk-and-talk teaching and learning environment is not conducive to engagestudents cognitively. The biggest impediment to implementing an environment for deep learningsuch as active-learning is the limited duration of a typical class period most of which isconsumed by lecturing. In this paper, best practices and strategies for cognitive engagement ofstudents in the classroom are
