District Wide Information

How to Keep Students Engaged, What's Killing Engagement, and How to Get Them Back

Twitter is a great way for me to find professional articles and connect to other experts in education.  I found this paper tweeted by Ian Jukes, the co-director of the 21st Century Fluency Project.  In reading through this paper, many of the ideas are not earth shattering, but yet simple and sensible.  Sometimes reflecting on our own teaching can help to re-evaluate ways that we can work to better engage students.  I really like the the short chapters titled, "What's Killing Student Engagement," "How Can I Force Students to Spend More Time Learning," and "Keeping Students Engaged: A Student's Perspective."  

This paper is organized nicely so you can read the chapters you feel may be most helpful to you and your classes.
