Research
"Focusing on students' social-emotional development had the largest contribution to the effectiveness of classroom management strategies."
Korpershoek et al. (2016). Review of Educational Research, Vol. 86, No. 3.
The five pillars
The five pillars
Teachers see each one modeled and practice it before they leave.
1. Positive Feelings
2. Attention & Interest
3. Connectedness
4. Self-Efficacy
5. Sharing Best Practices
Pillar One
Promoting positive feelings
Students arrive with different backgrounds, abilities, and experiences. The emotional climate of the room is the first lever for engagement, and teachers learn to use movement, real-time feedback, and more of their own personality to set it.
Pillar Two
Promoting attention and interest
Teachers compete with hundreds of channels, every social platform, and every game. Randomization, questioning, and storytelling help the lesson win that competition and make participation normal.
Pillar Three
Promoting connectedness and relevance
If students cannot connect it, they will not keep it. This pillar gives teachers ways to tie key concepts to students' own experience.
Pillar Four
Promoting self-efficacy
Can students learn to handle pressure? Yes, with practice. Teachers use dynamic tension strategies so students build confidence instead of anxiety.
Pillar Five
Sharing best practices
This pillar builds a school culture of professional sharing. Teachers record engaging lessons in a shareable format and use them to find gaps.
Agenda
The engagement day, hour by hour
Half-day or full-day, in person on your campus, scheduled around your calendar.
The morning is about getting students into the lesson. Between 8:30 AM and 12:00 PM, teachers learn the pillars of engagement-first instruction and work on motivation, positive feelings, movement and brain-friendly strategies, and attention through randomization and storytelling.
The afternoon is about keeping them there. After lunch (12:00 to 1:00 PM), the block from 1:00 to 3:30 PM covers relevance, personal connections, visual images, self-efficacy, and responding under pressure.
