Here's an engaging and low-cost opportunity to explore techniques and strategies for promoting high levels of student engagement and energy in your classroom. Drawing from the ASCD best-selling book The Art and Science of Teaching, by Robert J. Marzano, this Web seminar models and showcases specific action steps you can take to promote high levels of achievement and understanding, such as:

• How to stimulate student interest with games and inconsequential competition
• How to enhance student responsiveness to questions and follow-up probes
• How to motivate student learning by using physical movement, unusual information, pacing, and friendly controversy

For any educator interested in applying research-based strategies for promoting student interest and engagement, this is an ideal opportunity to acquire those strategies without having to leave the school site.
