It defines engagement as evolving over the course of learning, an interpersonal as well as personal process involving students, learning environment, teachers, and peers. Chapters identify the complex personal, sociocultural, economic, and systemic barriers that keep these vulnerable students from fully engaging in school, and explore the enabling role of collaborative and supported learning activities in building academic success and a foundation for productive adult lives. In addition, chapters present instructional practices based on engagement enablers. Chapters also pinpoint specific learning skills and subject areas that can provide openings for promoting motivation and participation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003eFeatured topics include:                  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe importance of cognitive and social enablers for promoting learning engagement.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngagement in instruction from teachers and testing within classrooms.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStudent voice and perspective as a reading engagement enabler.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePromoting academic engagement and aspiration for challenging and advanced mathematics.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlternative educational programs for re-engaging marginalized youths who “don’t fit”.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEmpowering Engagement \u003c\/i\u003eis a must-have resource for researchers, scientist-practitioners, clinicians, and graduate students in the fields of child and school psychology, educational policy and politics, social work, motivation and learning, schooling and pedagogies, and related disciplines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2018-08-02\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319946511\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-94652-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 253\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47525727010956,"sku":"9783319946511","price":107.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319946511.jpg?v=1776027445","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783319946511","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
