Creating and sustaining high-performing, high-achieving secondary classrooms that are engaging and personalized has a transformative impact on students and the class culture and climate. In this session, participants will learn about of a range of research-based instructional strategies, core classroom practices, protocols, and procedures for reaching and engaging adolescent learners in secondary classrooms. Through readings, simulations, group learning protocols and dialogue, participants will have an opportunity to explore the following question: What are some of the critical conditions that foster student engagement and increased levels of trust, attention, participation, motivation, effort, and investment in learning? Participants will also explore how to support implementation and sustainability for these practices to ensure fidelity and long-term success in schools.
