TBers, This is a reminder that there is a Teaching Breakfast tomorrow (October 19) at 8 am outside Starbucks. Hope to see you then. Here is a summary on the book The Highly Engaged Classroom By Robert J. Marzano and Debra J. Pickering With Tammy Heflebower (Marzano Research Laboratory Powered by Solution Tree, 2011) http://www.centergrove.k12.in.us/cms/lib4/IN01000850/Centricity/Domain/1217/The%20Main%20Idea%20-%20The%20Highly%20Engaged%20Classroom.Pdf The authors explain that engagement results when students answer in the affirmative to the questions below: * "How do I feel?" * "Am I interested?" * "Is this important?" * "Can I do this?" I look forward to seeing you tomorrow if possible!
