The Engagement Partnership

Build strong partnerships that fuel student motivation and drive their learning

Humans are social creatures, yet schools don't always embrace the way social interactions and connections can facilitate learning. Likewise, student engagement has become a buzzword, but what does it really mean? Despite decades of research and initiatives, student engagement continues to decline as learners progress through the school years.

In her new book, Amy Berry argues that the key lies in partnership. She challenges the traditional view of engagement as a top-down process and reframes it as a collaborative effort between students, teachers, and peers. Filled with student and teacher voices, this guidebook provides a new, more empathetic way to think about and tackle the persistent challenge of student disengagement.

This book provides:

• The all-new Continuum of Learner Engagement, a practical tool for developing a shared language around engagement and disengagement
• Evidence-based strategies for building effective engagement partnerships
• Actionable tips for cultivating a classroom environment where students feel safe, supported, and empowered to drive their own learning
• A strengths-based approach to understanding and addressing the root causes of disengagement

Learn how to empower children and young people with the skills and knowledge needed to effectively drive their learning and growth not only in schools, but also throughout their lives.
