In this interactive session, district and building leaders, instructional coaches, and teachers will explore the critical difference between student compliance and authentic engagement. Are students simply following directions, or are they truly invested in their learning experiences? Together, we’ll examine how to recognize the signs of true engagement and move beyond surface-level participation. Participants will engage in collaborative activities, reflective discussions, and practical planning to identify strategies that foster deeper learning and ownership. Whether you are leading classrooms, coaching educators, or shaping school and district practices, you’ll leave with clear, actionable ideas to strengthen engagement at every level.
