Classroom Engagement: The unwritten codeEdition 1

What they didn′t tell you about how to increase engagement and decrease unsettled behaviour.

Teachers have long been taught to use different strategies: one for behaviour; one for learning. Start with control to get their attention, then move on to the learning. This isn′t working. It′s time for a change.

Jen Foster brings a new approach. One that recognises that behaviour and learning cannot and should not be separated. One that harnesses the power of engagement to put children′s focus on learning at the heart of every lesson.

Educator Jen Foster offers teachers a fundamental unwritten code for all lessons. Exploring the research behind what we know about children′s learning, Jen outlines why Flow, Play, Drive, Connection and Movement are key elements for all lessons. Jen presents examples of effective classroom activities, inspiration for lesson planning and practical support for teaching.

Classroom Engagement: The Unwritten Code shows you how to bring the power of engagement to your lessons. Engaged children are more focused, more motivated, happier and more ready to learn.
