Quick Student Engagement Ideas for Busy Teachers

AN ELECTRIFYING ENDING... Actually I borrowed those words from a popular romance novel. This book is all about 'borrowing' from great teachers and students that contributed to this work. Discover the fascinating results of a research project in this entertaining 'idea-rich' book based on 1000 surveys from remarkable teachers (and some of their students). I will share hundreds of innovative, yet easy-to-implement learning ideas and strategies. As I analyzed the responses I began to build a framework that would become a new model for student engagement. The numbers from my research told a story. Students are hungry for information and they want it now. But they want it in 'snack-sized' portions and delivered in non-traditional packages. It must be engaging. This book is packed with surprising ideas, unusual instructions, encouragement and creative road-tested activities. You might find one or two things here you would expect, but most will surprise you (and some will even shock you, as they are highly contradictory to academic conventions). Get ready for a fun, inspirational, and engaging journey of discovery--exactly what we want our teaching to be!
