Confronting the Crisis of Engagement: Creating Focus and Resilience for Students, Staff, and Communities, 2022

Disengagement is an ongoing challenge for both students and teachers.  The authors propose that our practices should reflect the Five C’s of Engagement to maximize participation of learners:

1.    Connections ― feeling known, valued, and tethered to others

2.    Conditions ― being able to learn in a stable environment in which expectations are high

3.    Challenge ― engaging in an endeavor knowing your "high jumps" in terms of intellectual and creative risks will be supported

4.    Control ― the privilege of learning with a balance between ownership and support

5.    Collaboration ― deepening one’s knowledge and identity as a learner by being skillful at relationship-building
