Popular author and blogger for Education Week, this article by Larry Ferlazzo in ASCD's Educational Leadershiip is well researched and offers excellent thoughts and strategies to engage students who are unmotivated. We all have at least a few disengaged students, I'm sure, in our Title I classses. Ferlazzo approaches the topic in the same way school reformers approach school improvements with their initial question, "What do effective schools look like?"
Here we experience the issue from a skilled teacher's point of view. How do they think? What do they say? What do they do?
In your comments, please share what you think, say, and do to engage your disengaged students.
