Engaged Learning
Foreword by Richard Sterling
Spark genuine enthusiasm in your classroom by engaging students' hearts and minds!
Richard VanDeWeghe provides an inside look at what happens in students' minds and hearts when they are engaged in learning. Based on Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's idea of "flow"—a state of intrinsic control, curiosity, interest, and inquiry that is the ultimate experiential goal—this book shows how to develop motivated, engaged learners. Teachers will find:
- Information on brain function and memory pathways
- Spiritual and emotional principles of the heart
- Strategies for guiding open-ended discussions, quality questioning, and teacher modeling
- Practical applications for the classroom
- Examples of effective teacher dialogue
