EngageME: Will Leaders Listen? is a revealing and powerful journey of discovery. Dr. Vizzuso shares twenty years of experiences, ideas, and lessons, which have the power to transform employees and organizations to build strong employee-leader relationships. It identifies organizational heroes, unethical leadership, and wayward friends to functionally explain employee engagement and the strategies necessary to succeed. The subtext of EngageME is that engagement is critical to both personal and professional lives. Organizations and employees will appreciate, understand, and relate to a new model of personal and professional engagement. Having articulated the problem, Dr. Vizzuso proceeds to offer specific advice, including concrete methodologies and practical recommendations to assess an organizations preparedness and correct its deficiencies. He illustrates, through real-life examples of events, how organizations succeeded or failed in their interaction with employees as well as the potential for such interactions to foster disengagement, thereby compromising patient experience and optimal institutional function and success. He proposes recommendations, including specific methodologies and metrics for initial and follow-up assessments, to restructure the very nature of organizations to improve access and communication between management and employees to promote and encourage employee engagement as well as to assess its impact on customers. He implores leadership to be proactive and accountable and to create an environment of trust and confidence amongst its workers, whereby they do not fear offering suggestions or even criticisms of the organization.

This study investigated the effects of flipped classroom methodology compared to traditional teaching methods on academic performance and engagement among grade 6 students in Arizona. A sample of 60 students was equally divided into flipped classroom (n=30) and traditional (n=30) groups. Pre-test and post-test scores revealed significantly higher academic improvement in the flipped classroom group (M = 21.14%, SD = 1.83%) compared to the traditional group (M = 11.97%, SD = 0.86%), t(58) = 24.91, p < .001, Cohen's d = 6.44. The flipped classroom group also demonstrated significantly higher engagement levels across all measured variables, including on-task behavior (84.23% vs. 64.07%, d = 9.61), homework completion (92.07% vs. 75.30%, d = 7.00), and interest in the subject (M = 8.17 vs. M = 6.10, d = 3.21). Engagement in specific activities showed marked differences, with the flipped classroom group outperforming in group discussions (86.50% vs. 76.50%, d = 1.40), problem- solving tasks (81.50% vs. 67.33%, d = 1.88), and collaborative projects (76.17% vs. 62.50%, d = 1.82). Longitudinal data collected after three months showed sustained benefits in the flipped classroom group, particularly in interest in the subject (M = 8.24 vs. M = 5.73, d = 18.82) and class participation (M = 8.53 vs. M = 6.60, d = 11.63). However, material retention was similar between groups (70.00% vs. 66.67%, χ²(1, N = 60) = 0.08, p = .777). While both groups faced some challenges, including initial adaptation difficulties for the flipped classroom group, the overall results strongly support the effectiveness of the flipped classroom model in improving academic performance and sustaining student engagement in grade 6 education.

Educators are continuously seeking ways to engage their students in active learning processes and are faced with challenges that include engaging students in learning activities, promoting meaningful learning experiences, and providing effective experiences for every student.

Fostering Meaningful Learning Experiences Through Student Engagement is an essential reference source for the latest scholarly information on curriculum development, instructional design, and pedagogical methods for fostering student engagement learning initiatives. The book examines engagement and meaningful learning techniques in both face-to-face and online instruction. Covering topics that include active learning, language learning, teacher experiences, and teacher-student relationships, this book is ideally designed for teachers, instructional designers, curriculum developers, academicians, researchers, professionals, and students that believe that stronger or improved student engagement should be their instructional objectives and wish to engage students in learning activities that promote meaningful learning experiences.

Industry professionals, government officials, and the general public often agree that the modern healthcare system is in need of an overhaul. With organizations concerned with the long-term care of patients, new strategies, practices, and organizational tools must be developed to optimize the current healthcare system.

Promoting Patient Engagement and Participation for Effective Healthcare Reform outlines models that can be used to harness the power of patient involvement as a way to instill change in the healthcare industry. This book features a convergence of healthcare professionals and scholars providing insights into the best practices of interventions and reform as well as practical applications to foster patient engagement and participation. It is a useful reference source for healthcare providers, students and professionals in the fields of nursing, therapy, and public health, as well as managers and policy makers.

You may be a senior executive wondering how to engage hundreds or thousands of employees in your vision, strategy or the transformation of the business; or a specialist in HR, communication and change, tasked with the challenge of 'aligning and mobilising' your people. In either case, you no longer want compliant people, you want individuals who will engage their creativity at work. For their part, engaged employees want a say in their work and in how the business changes. The Chief Engagement Officer explores a management philosophy which recognises the value of opening up decision making to the right groups to improve the quality of decisions and change, accelerate execution and broaden ownership. John Smythe asks what the concept of engagement means for employer and employee; tests whether and how it is different from internal communication and provides a practical framework for those who want to engage colleagues but need advice based on applied experience. The book includes a tapestry of reports from organisations who are engaging their employees to drive performance and change. The author demonstrates how powerful models, developed from his work at SmytheDorwardLambert, his time as an organisational fellow with McKinsey and Company, and his consultancy with Engage for Change, can be used to take this process forward in any organisation. The Chief Engagement Officer is a highly readable guide to the revolution that is needed in employee communication and organisational leadership from one of the most experienced and well-regarded experts on employee communication.
