EngageMe is a visualization tool geared towards supporting teachers in understanding how
they are connecting with their students and how their pedagogical strategies can be
modified to meet the individual needs of a diverse student population. The goal of this
application is two-fold: 1) To support instructors in their efforts to create the best possible

EngageMe is a visualization tool geared towards supporting teachers in understanding how they are connecting with their students and how their pedagogical strategies can be modified to meet the individual needs of a diverse student population. The goal of this application is two-fold: 1) To support instructors in their efforts to create the best possible learning environment for each student, and 2) To provide a tool with which to experiment with different pedagogical strategies. In this abstract, I describe the collaborative and iterative process of developing the graphical interface for this tool with middle school educators before detailing my plans for moving this research forward.
