Paul Cappon, president and CEO of the Learning Council of Canada states that “it turns out that most of the students who do drop out of high school don’t drop out because they’re failing — they drop out because of lack of engagement.” This lack of engagement is endemic in public education – so while more high school students are staying in school, the real question is “How engaged are the students who are still in school and how can we improve their level of engagement?” Recent findings in neuroscience provide some pointers on what the brain requires for engagement. According to Dr. John Medina, author of Brain Rules, “there is no greater anti-brain environment than the classroom and cubicle.”
