“Student engagement is the positive behaviors that include full participation by the students in the learning process. We know it when they see it. When students are engaged, we can hear, see or feel their motivation in completing a task, taking pride in their work, or going beyond doing the minimum work required. Student engagement not only applies to regular classroom instruction, but also extends to extracurricular activities, such as a school play, a sport, or a school club. Engaged students demonstrate a feeling of belonging by the way they act, the positive things they say about the school, and through their passionate involvement in classroom activities” International Center of Leadership in Education Student Engagement-Creating a Culture of Academic Achievement

“Experiences… give us something to talk about and stories to tell, which can help us connect with others and deepen our own identities, both of which boost satisfaction.” Daniel Pink, To Sell is Human

The Power of a Teacher “I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. I possess tremendous power to make life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration, I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis is escalated or de-escalated, and a person is humanized or de-humanized. If we treat people as they are, we make them worse. If we treat people as they ought to be, we help them become what they are capable of becoming.” Haim G. Ginott
