Book excerpt: Following the success of Play Matters, with its action-based focus on Preschool to Grade 2, Kathy Walker and Shona Bass have developed the next stage of the Walker Learning Approach for implementation with primary school students in Grades 3–6. Engagement Matters provides a step-by-step, practical guide for teachers, emphasising student engagement, empowerment and achievement, and importantly, personalised learning. The transition from Grade 2 into the middle and upper primary years is made seamless through the provision of tips, activities and explanatory theory. Engagement Matters will equip schools with the capacity to actively engage students in their learning across all subject areas and diverse contexts. In doing so, Engagement Matters effectively lays the foundations for ongoing engagement and successful learning throughout school life. The book contains a full-colour section of photographs to highlight key themes. Appendices documents for planning, assessment and reporting activities are available for download.
