Every now and then, I meet someone who makes me sit up straight, lean in, and say, “Now this is the good stuff.” That is exactly what happened when I dug into Steve Spangler's work. Many of you know him as the Emmy Award-winning educator with the unforgettable science moments on television. Wild experiments, giant reactions, foam explosions that travel across a football field. Yes, all of that. But what Steve Spangler really teaches goes far deeper than fizz, bubbles, and the occasional flying potato. He teaches engagement. Real, authentic, emotional, and intellectual engagement. His new book, The Engagement Effect, takes that idea and turns it into a blueprint for every educator, administrator, and leader who wants people to show up, lean in, and remember the experience.
