Did you miss Ellin Oliver Keene’s presentation last fall? Well, now is your chance to learn how to ignite engagement in your classroom. Ellin Oliver Keene, the author of Engaging Children: Igniting a Drive for Deeper Learning, will be presenting a virtual course this October to support both face to face classrooms and remote learning!

Participants will be exploring the question: What can we do to help students develop internal motivation, or better yet, engagement? By differentiating between compliance, participation, motivation, and engagement, Ellin will show participants how to develop and recognize true student engagement in the classroom, and how to help students take more responsibility.

Igniting Engagement in Remote Learning

This past spring, we were all faced with a new set of challenges. We had to ask the question, “How do we engage students in a remote learning environment?” Ellin agreed to work with Kent ISD to answer that question. She hosted two sold out virtual workshops (almost 1000 educators were enrolled) to share how her engagement methods work in a virtual setting. Following that she worked with teachers through remote office hours to address specific needs in how teachers can ignite engagement.

Kent county teachers that have worked with Ellin over the past year have said:

“This was an amazing opportunity and has grown me so much as a teacher. I feel empowered and supported to help increase student
engagement in my classroom especially under our current circumstances.”

“As I’m looking at forming options for virtual and in-seat learning this fall, I definitely will be utilizing intellectual urgency and perspective bending as motivation to design curriculum that could enhance [the] learning of my students.”

“As I unfortunately believe we will be doing some sort of remote learning in the future, I will, through experience and knowledge from this coursework, [be] better prepared for engaging, relevant exploration with students and families.”
