Engaging the 21st Century Learner

Strobel Education offers Engaging the 21st Century Learner, a comprehensive professional development workshop that equips K-12 teachers with evidence-based strategies for increasing student engagement and rigour in today’s classrooms. Available as a 6-hour workshop in live, online, or on-site formats, this session helps educators understand how students’ brains process information and why digital-era learners thrive on interaction and novelty. The workshop covers cognitive load theory, the neuroscience of learning, and practical ways to make lessons more memorable through movement, visuals, and low-stakes retrieval activities. Participants receive lifetime access to mini-lessons, planning materials, ready-to-use tools, student activities, supportive texts, articles, webinars, and additional resources — making this far more than a one-day event. Strobel Education is known for delivering powerful professional development that is practical, engaging, and immediately applicable, with on-site training customised to meet the specific needs of individual schools or districts. Their team of professional development trainers, including classroom teachers who understand the daily realities of teaching, ensures that strategies are grounded in what actually works. For educators looking to reinvigorate their teaching practice with research-informed engagement strategies that speak to how today’s learners think and learn, this workshop provides both the science and the practical toolkit to make it happen.
