Student engagement is the new frontier of student achievement. Of course, it’s always been possible to achieve without being really engaged. Grit, resilience and sheer perseverance can get the most driven students through their courses and exams, and can be useful for some students, some of the time. But these days, in a world rife with distractions, it’s hard to get students to succeed unless you can also get and keep their attention, fire up their passions, and connect with their lives and interests.

This presentation will look at the history, purpose, and alternatives to traditional grades in education, and the role grades play in 21st century learning.

When students start asking more questions than the teacher, and tapping into their own curiosity about the topic in hand, you know you’re on the path to deep, complex learning.
