Introduction“If students are not engaged, there is

little, if any, chance that they will learn what is being addressed in class…. Student engagement happens as a result of a teacher’s careful planning and execution of specific strategies.”

Heflebower, T., Marzano, R., Pickering, D. (2011). The Highly Engaged Classroom: The Classroom Strategies Series. Bloomington, IN: Marzano Research Library.
