Student Engagement Improvement Guide and Practice Briefs
Student engagement contributes to attendance, behavior, and course performance. Schools can use a focused continuous improvement process to identify school-level factors that affect engagement and develop strategies that respond to their specific needs.
The Student Engagement Improvement Guide provides school leadership teams with practical tools designing and implementing a six-phase improvement cycle: assess, prepare, select strategies, plan for implementation, implement and monitor, and reflect.
Teams can use the guide to identify a student engagement-related problem of practice, examine root causes, set goals, select and define an evidence-based strategy, plan and monitor implementation, analyze outcomes, and determine next steps. Application examples show what it would look like for a school team to use the guide, and companion Practice Briefs provide research-informed approaches and implementation considerations for common student engagement problems of practice.
