Abstract
Engaging students requires varied instructional strategies that promote participation, collaboration, and reflection. This MSN project highlights three effective approaches—Kahoot! quizzes, think‑pair‑share, and documentation exercises—and explains how each supports active learning. Additionally, this graduate-level project emphasizes the importance of developing purposeful assessment questions that reveal student comprehension and guide instructional decisions. Together, these methods create a dynamic framework for enhancing student engagement and evaluating learning.
