Engaging the Disengaged

DGC-ETD-005

CRN EDUX 519  

1.5 quarter credit through District 196 or a 1 semester credit co-sponsored by Concordia University and District 196

Any student can disengage from the school experience. Some students see school as the place that identifies them as being not quite “as good as” their peers. For other students, their academic success and resulting acknowledgements are not enough to maintain a sense of engagement. And some students fly under the radar, while waiting for the school year to be over: they are present, assignments are completed and they pass the grade. This course will cover how to determine the “why” behind academic disengagement, understand underlying challenges which could manifest as a lack of motivation, and strategies to increase independence in the classroom setting. 

Coursework can be completed at your own pace between May 6-June 26.


* District graduate quarter credits can be used for movement on the salary schedule but generally will not transfer from district to district. For an additional $175.00 fee an individual may obtain 1 semester graduate credit from Concordia University. Tuition is due and payable in full by the first class session. Course approval forms need to be completed. Courses may be used for renewal units. If you decide to drop the course, you must do so by May 5th for a refund.

** Individuals at MA+60 may audit any courses for $28.15 per quarter credit. Individuals “auditing” classes are expected to complete class assignments.
