Students are making choices all day long.
Will they participate, take an academic risk, ask for help, persist through difficulty, work with others—or disengage?
Rules of Engagement: Game Theory Strategy for Educators helps teachers understand the systems behind those choices and intentionally design classrooms where effort feels worthwhile, progress is visible, and learning has purpose.

Inside, teachers will learn how to:
At the heart of the book is an eight-step planning framework:
Learning Target. Success Criteria. Motivational Need. Game Mechanic. Student Action. Feedback Loop. Evidence of Learning. Reflection.
Filled with classroom-ready examples, practical strategies, and reflection tools, Rules of Engagement is written for teachers, instructional coaches, school leaders, and professional learning teams who want more than student compliance.
