The five pillars
What the training covers
The five pillars form a complete engagement system, and teachers practice each one.
1. Positive Feelings
2. Attention & Interest
3. Connectedness
4. Self-Efficacy
5. Sharing Best Practices
Pillar One
Promoting positive feelings
Teachers learn to read and shape the emotional climate of the classroom, the lever most teachers overlook, using movement and student feedback.
Pillar Two
Promoting attention and interest
Randomization techniques keep every student ready to answer. Teachers also practice questioning and storytelling as tools for capturing attention.
Pillar Three
Promoting connectedness and relevance
Retention goes up when lessons feel relevant. Teachers practice guiding personal connections and using brainstorming to bring out every voice in the room.
Pillar Four
Promoting self-efficacy
Students who know how they learn keep learning. Teachers help them build that self-knowledge through reflection and low-stakes practice under pressure.
Pillar Five
Sharing best practices
The matrix method turns individual good ideas into team resources. Teachers record their best lessons and see where the team needs more.
Agenda
How the engagement day runs
A typical full day is below. The format is flexible, and the training happens at your school.
Teachers start at 8:30 AM by connecting engagement strategies to motivation and learning, then move through the pillars, positive feelings, movement, randomization, and storytelling before 12:00 PM.
Lunch is from 12:00 to 1:00 PM. Between 1:00 and 3:30 PM, teachers learn to make lessons meaningful and relevant, guide personal connections, use visual images in new ways, build self-efficacy, and prepare students to respond under pressure.
