WHO IS KJELL FENN?
My goal is to make every teacher more effective than before our meeting. As a classroom teacher, I strove to make the lessons engaging so that my students involved themselves in the learning. As a presenter, I bring that same dynamic style so that I am teaching the way I want the teachers to teach. It is vital to teach the way we want to be taught. When I present for schools, whether in-person or virtual, I am using the very strategies that I am teaching.
Kjell Fenn, M.Ed., M.A., is an author, TSDI innovator, and thought leader in pedagogy, classroom management, and professional development. He serves as Assistant Professor of Education at Liberty University and Senior Consultant with GLOBAL School Consulting Group. He is the author of Engage: Motivational Strategies for a Dynamic Classroom and Brick by Brick: Setting the Foundation for a Stable and Joyful Classroom.
In Engage: Motivational Strategies for a Dynamic Classroom, Kjell Fenn presents 18 research-based keys to student motivation. Each concept is grounded in theory, illustrated with real classroom examples, and paired with practical strategies teachers can adapt to fit their students and context—helping them foster greater engagement and success.
