Student Engagement: Creating a Culture of Academic Achievement

The intense focus on state assessments and a lack of active learning opportunities for students are resulting in an increasing number of disengaged students. This kit will assist school leaders and teachers in the complex task of increasing student engagement. In addition to explaining the psychological basis of disengagement, the kit is filled with practical suggestions on how to (1) make engagement a data-driven process, (2) improve the school climate, and (3) support teachers in developing engagement-based teaching and learning. Best practices from exemplary schools, checklists, and staff development activities are included, along with a DVD presentation on student engagement and a CD with handouts and forms.
