Additional biographical information
When students are authentically engaged in learning, the entire classroom comes alive. Everyone is excited, interested, and happily immersed in what they’re doing, so much so that they forget they’re learning. Engagement on this level gives rise to a boundless, vibrant energy that should be at the heart of every classroom. Classrooms should be noisy and messy!
