On the Edge of Their Seats: What the Best Teachers Do to Engage and Inspire Their Students
An epidemic of boredom is spreading through our nation’s schools and colleges. Students across America are disengaged at depressingly high levels; they are continually distracted; and they often see their education as a series of dull and uninspiring classes that they simply must endure. Is there any hope for this bored and distracted generation? Can teachers turn the tide of the boredom epidemic by making their classrooms places of excitement and inspiration?
Yes, they can. This book offers teachers a straightforward and intuitive approach to increase student engagement in the classroom. Drawing on the latest research and several decades of experience in teacher education, this book shows how teachers can make their classrooms inspiring and transformative places of learning. This guidance comes in the form of a simple four-step framework that teachers can begin immediately applying in their classrooms. The four step framework is not just effective instruction—it’s teaching that transforms.

Read to potentially share with my pre-service English teacher students this fall, but ended up enjoying it as a reinvigoration of my own teaching practice.

A fantastic book for both new and veteran teachers. It will challenge you to think more critically and holistically about your practice. Highly recommend for any teacher!

They say these strategies are aimed at middle school and up. We'll put that to the test this weekend in Sunday school with the second graders!
