Their combination of issues and layered needs â mental health, relationship, behavioural, physical, medical, sensory, communication and cognitive â mean they often disengage from learning and challenge even our most experienced teachers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book provides school practitioners and leaders with an approach and resources to engage this often disenfranchized group of children in learning. The Engagement for Learning Framework has been developed and trialled by over 100 educational settings (both special and mainstream) with learners from early years to post-16. It gives practitioners from a range of disciplines a shared means of assessing, recording and developing personalized learning pathways and demon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e'The book is arranged to present the urgency of the issues facing educators, which Professor Carpenter describes as the ‘new generation’ of children for whom teachers are ‘pedagogically bereft’, while also providing practical resources to access the framework. The brave world of the special school educator, the children and the families is exposed to us, and helps to drive this urgency. While it is disconcerting to read chapters written in first-person singular without having the chapter author identified, and the extensive use of exclamation marks, when one reflects on the truly surprising results these educators are seeing in their students these things can be excused. The book concludes that, “engagement can be described as the liberation of intrinsic motivation” (p.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e160\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e), and it could be said that this is an approach that all teachers and leaders could be taking in our daily work.'\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003e-\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eJulliette Hayes, NZEALS Leading lights \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"The impressive qualifications of the authors makes this an authoratitive book that will be highly valued by all involved in the teaching of CLDD young people\"\u003c\/em\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eSarah Brew, Parents in Touch\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"This book provides a definitive explanation of 'Engagement for Learning' for children 'who do not fit neatly into an understandable category.'
