Student Engagement

Student Engagement: Promoting Positive Classroom Behaviour encourages pre-service teachers in Australian primary and secondary schools to make choices about how best to design and manage their classrooms and schools to maximise productive behaviour and learning. The text explores numerous dimensions of student engagement from within and outside school settings, including verbal and non-verbal communication; disengaged behaviours and corrective strategies; trauma-informed practice; working with students with emotional and behavioural disorders; and bullying prevention and intervention strategies. Linking to the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers (APSTs), each chapter includes ''Embedding the theory'' and ''Story from the field'' boxes that discuss the theoretical research behind different approaches to engagement and explore their practical applications. ''Making professional decisions'' boxes at the end of each chapter also provide further guidance on how to approach different situations and build a repertoire of resources for practice.
