Are my learners engaged in learning?

Yes, I have been fortunate to have a great deal of learning and engagement both at school and at home over the past several months as parents have been actively participating and trying to educate themselves so that they could also help their children.
As a result of the class video, parents became more involved as a positive competitive spirit was created among the parents as to which parent devoted more quality academic time to their children as they supported them in their studies. Children would often come to school explaining to their friends that their parents invited their relatives over to watch their class film. Students were proud of their film and were excited to tell all their friends and family, since they believed they were “movie stars.” After school, I noticed many parents talked about the fact that they were also learning to read since they were also practicing the letters and sounds from the video, which in turn encouraged them to continue with more ESL classes. This fun approach to learning made it less intimidating for them, and helped them become more relaxed and confident about helping their children succeed with their studies.
