Synopsis

Engaged teaching recognizes that educators need to offer more than lesson plans and assessments for students to thrive in the 21st century. Equip your students to be resilient individuals, able to communicate effectively and work with diverse people. The authors contend that students must develop their emotional and social skills as thoroughly as their academic skills, and that teachers must cultivate this growth.

Review

"Our traditional school has always been more teacher-centric than learner-centric. The result is emotional disengagement, diminished responsibility on the part of learners for their own learning, and learning processes compromised in effectiveness and depth. Crossing the chasm from 'teachers teaching' to teachers as designers of learning spaces, facilitators, and co-learners is a profound step for most teachers. It requires clarity and lots of support, which is where books like The 5 Dimensions of Engaged Teaching can make a world of difference." -- Peter Senge "Cofounder of SoL Education Partnership and Coauthor of Schools That Learn"
