Winning the Battle for Student Engagement

How to Help Your Teachers Recapture Student Attention and Captivate Today’s Learners

The Ed Week Research Center surveyed 630 teachers across the country regarding their main stressors. Of the respondents, 68 percent cited low student engagement as their biggest challenge. Join your colleagues on the road to captivate the hearts and minds of students.

This practical and engaging series will focus on your role as an instructional leader to provide your teachers with both motivation and tools through a series of change exercises to break through the cognitive entrenchment of familiar and failing strategies and systems.
