The Educator’s Atlas
ATLAS holds both learner needs and teacher wisdom in equal importance. Central to this is a definition of student engagement that—once and for all—clarifies the teacher’s actionable role. Teachers will finish this book with a plan in hand and the full confidence that they are ready to be engagement pros. And as is always the case with Kieschnick’s books, readers will laugh and have a lot of fun along the way.
A simple, five-point roadmap for capturing student engagement in the first moments of class sustaining it all the way to the last.
In this spellbinding book, Wes uses his trademark energy and humor to share his easily-implemented ATLAS framework for enhanced student engagement and understanding. This book is not about entertaining kids, it's about creating active, meaningful learning opportunities for our children.
