- September 29, 2011 | 3:30 p.m. EDT | The Highly Engaged Classroom| Presented by Robert J. Marzano
Novice and veteran teachers alike are always challenged with the goal of keeping students engaged. This webinar, based on the book of the same title, will review the research on classroom engagement and then provide perspectives and strategies to help teacher meet these challenges. The book, thus the Webinar, organizes the complex topic of engagement into four critical areas:
- Student emotions (How do I feel/)
- Student interest (Am I interested?)
- Student perceptions of importance (Is this important?)
- Student perceptions of efficacy (Can I do this?)
Specific recommendations and resources will be offered in each of the four areas. These will include strategies that could be applied immediately as well as strategies that, when used over time, contribute to the development of “highly engaged classrooms.”
