Engaging Students offers a next-step resource in which Schlechty incorporates what he's learned from the field and from the hundreds of workshops he and the Schlechty Center staff have conducted since Working on the Work was first published.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis innovative and practical book is focused on helping teachers become increasingly successful in designing engaging work for their students. Schlechty contends that rather than viewing schools as teaching platforms, schools must be viewed as learning platforms. Rather than seeing schools as knowledge distribution systems, schools must be seen as knowledge work systems. Rather than defining teachers as instructors, teachers must be defined as designers, leaders, and guides to instruction. Engaging Students also includes useful questionnaires that will facilitate discussion, analysis, and action planning at both school and classroom levels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePraise for Engaging Students\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"In Engaging Students, Schlechty boldly delineates why the focus on engaging students overrides the focus on test scores.
