Engagement lies at the heart of learning—remembering what is most important and using those understandings in new contexts later. What does it mean to be engaged? How does engagement relate to compliance, participation, and internal motivation? What is our role when it comes to helping students discover what most engages them? We’ll discuss these questions and ways in which students can take increasing responsibility for their own engagement whether they are learning from school or at home. We’ll also explore how we can reliably know when students are engaged and what to do when they aren’t.
