I just finished “The Engagement Effect” and absolutely loved it! When we brought you to Boise in 2023 I was expecting the big flashy experiments and fun, what I wasn’t expecting is the connection and engagement you had with all of us. We were spellbound for the whole hour that went way too fast. Thank you for putting your magic all down on paper for the rest of us to learn from. I was highlighting like crazy throughout the whole book.  So many favorite quotes but I think my favorite (right now) is “You don’t need to orchestrate every moment. Sometimes your role is to quietly hold the space where growth can happen”.

Steve Spangler hit it out of the park once again at our annual Splash conference. Truly a “Best Day Ever” experience for all of our attendees. Absolutely the opposite of your ordinary keynote speaker.

Steve Spangler’s impact on Littleton Public Schools spans over three decades. What began in the classroom has become a legacy of helping educators throughout our district bring learning to life. The Engagement Effect is filled with the same strategies and mindset that Steve has shared with our teachers—tools that help create powerful learning experiences and meaningful student connections.

Whether it was connecting 1,600 students through a human circuit or challenging our principals to create their own ‘Best Day Ever’ moments, Steve Spangler showed us that engagement is more than a buzzword—it’s a mindset. The Engagement Effect is a blueprint for how he thinks, plans, and inspires at the highest level.

We’ve had Steve Spangler on stage at the Innovative Schools Summit enough times to know this—he shows up with purpose and delivers every time. He brings engagement, connection, and ideas that stick. The Engagement Effect isn’t just a book—it’s a behind-the-scenes pass to how he does it, and why it works.

Steve’s ‘Best Day Ever’ moments have inspired our teachers and administrators to create their own unforgettable moments for students and staff. When one of our principals told me that her teacher had done more hands-on science in 3 months than she had done in 30 years, I knew we had struck gold with Steve Spangler’s approach to engagement. He doesn’t just inspire others ‘to do’, he inspires them ‘to be’ – the best version of themselves. This book clearly illustrates how he does it, and why it matters.

Steve Spangler is the most powerful motivational speaker I’ve ever heard. As CEO of Frog Street, we invited Steve to help us transform our annual Splash conference into a truly unforgettable experience.  His ability to engage early childhood educators through hands-on learning and powerful storytelling elevated our conference and stimulated educators to strive for greatness. The Engagement Effect captures the same energy, strategy, and heart that made Steve’s work such a vital part of our community.

Steve Spangler helped our entire district kick off a new school year with a powerful message about purpose and engagement. His influence was so profound that we brought him back a few years later to help celebrate our decade-long mission to elevate student engagement. The Engagement Effect captures the same energy, insight, and inspiration he brought to our staff—a must-read for any educator or leader committed to meaningful connection.

We’ve trusted Steve Spangler to help us create unforgettable moments for hundreds of thousands of educators at Get Your Teach On—and he always delivers. This book brings his passion, creativity, and practical strategies to the page. If you want to inspire people and leave a lasting impact, this is your playbook.

At NAFEPA, we focus on translating national education goals into meaningful impact at the state and local levels. Steve Spangler has helped our leaders do just that—bringing his strategies to life with energy, purpose, and clarity. The Engagement Effect offers that same spark in written form. It’s a powerful resource for anyone looking to turn ideas into real connection and lasting change.

There’s something truly electric about watching 15,000 students, teachers, and parents fill Coors Field for our annual STEM Day with Steve Spangler. That kind of excitement and connection doesn’t happen by accident—it’s the result of intentional strategies that make every individual feel seen, involved, and inspired. In The Engagement Effect, Steve reveals the same powerful techniques he’s used to make STEM Day one of our most impactful events. This book is an excellent tool on how to captivate an audience and turn engagement into action.

Steve Spangler is high-energy, engaging and effective! From start to finish, Steve is absolutely amazing and one of the greatest people we have had the pleasure to work with. He will definitely make your event “The Best Day Ever”!

The feedback on your district-wide keynote has been phenomenal… truly #Best Day Ever. Our educational staff overwhelmingly loved your presentation and engagement strategies. It’s going to be a great year.

Steve’s “Best Day Ever” message was so powerful and helpful to our teachers on their first day back to school. Just hours after the presentation, I heard from our teachers and administrators about the ways they’re going to put Steve’s engagement strategies and best practices into action immediately. Our teachers and district employees honored Steve with a heartfelt standing ovation because he connected at the highest level.

Beyond wow… how can I begin to thank you for inspiring teachers after what has been an incredibly challenging time for our staff. You gave us much-needed fire and passion, and you helped us re-imagine how we MUST connect and engage with our children. I’m blown away by passion and mission to empower teachers to go out and create “BEST DAY EVER” experiences for kids.

Steve Spangler’s captivating performance at the Perot Museum of Nature and Science left our audience of VIP teachers and administrators from Texas inspired and energized. His unique blend of science and entertainment created an unforgettable experience.

Steve’s keynote presentation at Space Symposium’s Teacher Liaison breakfast was the inspirational roller coaster that kept every educator invigorated and equipped for the adventure of teaching and kept them cheering all the way. His presentation brought the entire room to tears, followed by bouts of raucous laughter. Best of all, his kindness and professionalism made him a delight to work with, and his passion and enthusiasm emboldened educators to create the best day ever for their students.

It has been a blast having Steve with us at this year’s Singapore International Science Teachers’ Conference! Steve is engaging and his larger-than-life personality can be felt even though cyberspace. The audience roared with laughter when he joked and held their breath when he shared his experiments. Steve has shown us how to engage our students in science and STEM education to create transformational, Best Day Ever experiences every time we teach.   -Irene Tan, Ministry of Education

Wow! What a powerful way to close up the school year. I consider our district extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with you all and your team. Thank you for building a relationship with our district and always reminding us why we went into the profession in the first place.

I cannot say enough about the power of your message and your masterful delivery. You truly inspired us all. Our staff has not stopped talking about your words and presentation since you left. I know the students of Mariemont City Schools will benefit from the inspiration you shared.

Your presentation had a profound impact on the money we raised during the foundation event. That’s a BEST DAY EVER for us.

Steve Spangler is part teacher, part carnival barker, and part master magician… and he’s amazing at all three! When it comes to getting people to fall in love with science, no one does it better.

We were able to hear about the teachers who inspired Steve and learn teaching strategies in real time. He inspired me to go into my classroom Monday and engage with my students in a whole new way.
