Synopsis
The most pressing issue in schools is classroom management, specifically how to motivate students to do the work well. Many teachers need strategies to help them and they also need the theory and research behind the strategies. Why do the strategies work and why do they sometimes not work? This book has 5 sections that are the different theoretical foundations for 18 different keys to student motivation. At the beginning of each section, the theory is explained briefly. It is important that the readers understand the reason why a key or strategy works. In this understanding, a teacher can modify and accommodate the key or strategy to fit his/her particular students and context. There are 18 chapters. Each chapter is a key, or applicable concept, to student motivation that has been garnered from a theory or seminal work. This explanation is followed by a vignette of a teacher's experience, called In The Classroom, and is followed by multiple strategies.

Make this book your must read for PLCs and individuals. -- John McCarthy, author of "So All Can Learn" When I read Engage, my passion to be the best educator I can be is reignited. Motivation can be as individual as the number of students in your classroom, yet Kjell's simple and applicable strategies make the task of motivating students seem far less daunting. I look forward to continuing to implement what I learned from this book to both engage my students in learning and motivate myself to grow as an educator. -- Cloe Brugger, M.Ed, 10th Grade English Teacher When you have students who are unmotivated and not sure what to do, Engage showed me ways to motivate them. What helped me was the strategies that I could use in my classroom. Engage validated much of what I do in the classroom, like sharing stories, but Fenn gave more depth to that strategy so that my classroom is more dynamic. -- Bethany Saulnier, M.Ed., Middle School Math Teacher
