    Product Description of Working on the Work: Making Student Engagement Central: "Working on the Work" is a framework based on the research of the Schlechty Center for Leadership in School Reform and that incorporates key components of school leadership and teacher planning to result in engaged classrooms. This framework has transformed schools from organizations that produce compliance and attendance to those that nurture attention and commitment. Along with transforming schools, the framework has changed ordinary classrooms from ones where students are merely compliant into learning environments where students are engaged and enthusiastic about academics.

    Our two-part program addresses both the philosophies underlying the "Working on the Work" framework and the concrete methods for implementing it in your schools. Educators will learn how to design lessons and activities that promote full engagement, meaning that students will find the work interesting, meaningful, and challenging. Student engagement is the key to promoting high student achievement, because when students are fully engaged they care about and are committed to their academic work. Let us help your educators learn to implement this powerful framework in order to promote the highest levels of student achievement and ensure that no student gets left behind.
