EDUC 913 - Engage Students to Achieve Results

3 Units
The course is based on Marzano's and Pickering's The Highly Engaged Classroom (2011). Teachers will analyze the role student engagement, motivation and effort play in learning, apply research and evaluate current practices to determine instructional gaps. Participants will exit the course with applied skills and a variety of instructional strategies designed to increase student participation, raise expectations and improve student academic performance for all students, including students of poverty and second language learners. The course, applicable across curriculums and grade levels K-12, aligns with the new Common Core Standards (CCSS), NTPD and NETS standards and supports current research on factors that impact student learning, including emotional energy, social interactions, effort, attention and involvement.
