What is Student Engagement
Student engagement occurs when "students make a psychological investment in learning. They try hard to learn what school offers. They take pride not simply in earning the formal indicators of success (grades), but in understanding the material and incorporating or internalizing it in their lives."[
-Student Engagement and Achievement in American Secondary Schools. Teacher College Press, p. 2-3.
