If you want to know how to transform your teaching, read this book! Kjell shares his knowledge and experience as a seasoned educator to offer a well-researched, insightful, and teacher-friendly plan for pedagogical improvement. The strategies outlined provide teachers with practical tools and tips that engage students in their learning and maximize their potential. -- Ashleigh Molloy, Education Department, Niagara University Kjell Fenn is a master at inspiring learners. His deep experiences with students, teachers, and stakeholders come together for an enriching journey through these pages. Find strategies supported by research and study. Motivate. Engage. Inspire. Make this book your must read for PLCs and individuals. -- John McCarthy, author of So All Can Learn When I read Engage, my passion to be the best educator I can be is reignited. Motivation can be as individual as the number of students in your classroom, yet Kjell's simple and applicable strategies make the task of motivating students seem far less daunting. I look forward to continuing to implement what I learned from this book to both engage my students in learning and motivate myself to grow as an educator. -- Cloe Brugger, M.Ed, 10th Grade English Teacher When you have students who are unmotivated and not sure what to do, Engage showed me ways to motivate them. What helped me was the strategies that I could use in my classroom. Engage validated much of what I do in the classroom, like sharing stories, but Fenn gave more depth to that strategy so that my classroom is more dynamic. -- Bethany Saulnier, M.Ed., Middle School Math Teacher
