If students are not engaged, there is little, if any, chance that
they will learn what is being addressed in class. A basic premise
of The Highly Engaged Classroom is that student engagement happens
as a result of a teacher's careful planning and execution of
specific strategies. In other words, student engagement is not
serendipitous. This book was designed as a self-study text that
provides an in-depth understanding of how to generate high levels
of attention and engagement. Engagement is obviously a central
aspect of effective teaching. Using the suggestions presented in
this book, every teacher can create a classroom environment in
which engagement is the norm instead of the exception.
Part of the Classroom Strategies That Work library, this clear,
highly practical guide follows the series format, first summarizing
key research and then translating it into recommendations for
classroom practice. In addition to the explanations and examples of
engagement strategies, each chapter includes helpful exercises to
reinforce the reader's understanding of the content.
Because research and theory can provide only a general
direction for classroom practice, The Highly Engaged Classroom (and
each book in the series) goes one step further to translate that
research into applications for the classroom. Specifically, it
addresses four emblematic questions students ask themselves, the
answers to which determine how involved students are in classroom
activities: "How do I feel?," "Am I interested?," "Is this
important?," and "Can I do this?" For each of these four emblematic
questions, specific classroom strategies are provided in chapters 2
through 5.
