83: Student Engagement Is Critical To Learning Success With Richard Andrew.

Without student engagement, is there any point in trying to teach anything?

These days the education conversation is clearly shifting back towards learning, rather than school work. But what if your students aren't engaged, or interested in what you think they should learn, or what the curriculum thinks they should learn? And what if teachers think that student centred learning is a great idea, but the students don't. Surely not every student is enthusiastic about learning. Is lack of student engagement the elephant in the room... or the classroom? My guest today is Richard Andrew, a specialist in online learning. He's had a wide range of experience in classrooms across Australia and interacted with hundreds of teachers through the professional development courses he delivers. In this episode we take a light hearted but serious look at possibly one of the most significant topics in the education debate.
