Engagement

Have you ever asked your students for advice on how you could help them to get more engaged in learning at school? That is exactly what Dr Amy Berry and Dr Kellie Picker did in their recent study, Student perspectives on engaging in learning at school. In part one of their 3-part series for Teacher on student engagement, the authors explore students’ top tips on how teachers could help them get more engaged in learning. 

Tasmanian educator Steve Harrison discusses the hands-on skills that students are learning through the vocational training offered at his school, as well as the broader ‘soft skills’ that they could apply to any future employment opportunities.
