- Summary:
- "Success does not occur without learning, and learning does not occur without engagement. Engagement is the foundation for students to grow in knowledge and ability. In Five Paths of Student Engagement: Blazing the Trail to Learning and Success, authors Dennis Shirley and Andy Hargreaves take readers on an educational quest. As education turns away from rigid, standardized, and over-tested schooling toward more holistic, personalized, and human learning, engagement is the way forward. But to reach the goal of education that serves students' well-being and identity as well as their achievement, educators must prepare for the journey, avoid detours, and battle enemies to stay on the right path. Grounded in psychological and sociological theory, as well as the authors' own research, this comprehensive resource covers each of these facets of engagement, and recommends practical approaches to engagement for classrooms, schools, and policies"-- Provided by publisher.
