What is student engagement? 🙋
Student engagement has been shown to have a positive impact on student achievement. In other words, when students and their families are more engaged, they do better in school. How do we define student engagement? Before we talk about ways to increase student engagement in your classroom, we thought we’d define the phrase. The Institute of Education Sciences gives a helpful definition of three different types of student engagement:
- Behavioral: Time on task, student participation
- Emotional: Feelings of belonging, enjoyment, and attachment
- Cognitive: Investment in learning, perseverance, self-regulation
We hope all of the strategies outlined in this ebook will help you make sure students are behaviorally, emotionally, and cognitively engaged in their classrooms.

Why is engagement important? Quite simply, student engagement improves student learning outcomes. However, it’s not only students who benefit. It’s important to engage parents and families, too.
Research shows that parent engagement in schools is closely linked to better student behavior, higher academic achievement, and enhanced social skills, as stated by the CDC.
