Content: “One of the most powerful ways to engage students is to let them take charge of their own learning.” Engaging Students with Poverty in Mind: Practical Strategies for Raising Achievement
“A ‘no excuses’ mentality means that even if you believe it should be students’ job to be engaged, you accept that it’s your job to engage them.” “Good teachers matter more than curriculum, the administration, or what students eat for breakfast.” “For many students, school is an obligation, not a joy and a privilege. This means you need to ‘sell’ the learning to them.” “Everything you get from your students—the rolled eyes, the excitement, the apathy, the big smiles—is feedback on your performance.” “Your students’ life experiences are a rich source of background knowledge and potential narrative strategy for you to tap in your classroom.” In addition to these books, ASCD recently released the Engaging Students with Poverty in Mind DVD series, which shows teachers how to successfully implement engagement strategies that are effective and practical.
