Review:
Russ Johnson hit a home run with Quick Student Engagement Ideas for Busy Teachers. It's a rich and unique resource based on extensive research that addresses the need for college faculty to get on board and make their teaching more active and effective. In his easy-to-read style, Johnson offers dozens of spot-on examples and suggestions using Movement, Materials, Mindfulness and Media to set a tone for interactivity, discussion, and engagement. Go ahead...It's worth the time! --Sue Landy, Trainer's Warehouse
I have read numerous excellent books over the years to help me improve my teaching. However, none of these books will have as much an impact, or be referenced as often, as this book by Russ Johnson. --Dr. Doug Miller, Hospitality Management, Utah Valley University
Like teachers, professional trainers know the value of engaging an audience so the material lands. If you deliver training to corporate audiences, this book will provide you with valuable techniques for achieving that engagement. Take advantage of these ideas to take your training to the next level. --Matt Horan, Global Head of Talent, Mind Gym
