David Zinger, employee engagement and leadership expert, a few weeks back posted his A to Z of employee engagement and challenged others to do the same. Although the call out was intended for business, I could not resist the chance to bring this conversation into the world of teaching and learning.
So, from the perspective of an educator, I shared 26 Keys to Student Engagement. It is exciting to share that the conversation has now been included in a larger effort at the Employee Engagement Network in his newly published e-book (pdf) that offers readers access to over 300 Free Employee Engagement Keys from 12 different authors.
David talks about the effort and offers some suggestions on how to use the keys to your advantage:
- Scan the authors to find ideas.
- Read the book as a primer to create your own alphabet.
- Modify it to launch a team or project group exercise on engagement.
- Choose a letter each day and focus on that letter to enhance your own engagement or the engagement of others.
- Share the alphabets with others at work.
- Offer the book as a free resource during employee engagement workshops.
- Develop your own applications based on your interest and focus on employee engagement.

The authors were: David Zinger, Tim Wright, Terrence Seamon, Steve Roesler, Lisa Forsyth, Raven Young, Robert Morris, Ken Milloy, Stephen McPherson, George Reavis, and Ian Buckingham. I contributed a bonus section with the student engagement alphabet. You can find out more about each of the authors by checking out their profile at the Employee Engagement Network where you will also find tons of other great EE related resources, forums, groups and more.
