by Matthew Colwell (Author), John Morrison (Foreword by)
What really keeps students engaged in learning? It's not just about flashy activities or high-tech tools. It's about creating the right conditions for learning to take root.
In 3 Engagement Rings, veteran educator and instructional leader Matthew Colwell introduces a powerful, research-informed framework built around three essential pillars of engagement:
-
Wellness - Supporting students' physical and mental readiness to learn
-
Relevance - Connecting learning to students' interests and real-world importance
-
Self-Efficacy - Helping students believe in their ability to grow and succeed
Whether you're a K-12 teacher, school administrator, parent, or education professional, this book offers practical strategies, real-world examples, and a new lens for understanding what motivates students-not just to participate, but to persist and thrive.
Inside, you'll explore:
- Why so many students disengage-and how to change that
- Actionable strategies for building engagement in classrooms, schools, and at home
- How to support engagement with gifted students and in virtual learning and college settings
- What educators can learn about engagement from social media and video games
- How school leaders can apply the framework to support and inspire teachers
