To what extent are students engaged in their learning within and outside of school?

The extent to which students feel positive about their learning can shape their school experience and school success. Students’ engagement and investment in their learning is impacted when education is relevant and students can see a connection between their learning and their lives. Students who are engaged in their learning demonstrate persistence, curiosity, and improved student outcomes (as measured by attendance rates, an exploration of non-assigned learning opportunities, and involvement in activities that allow for a deep exploration in an area of interest).

• Students attain high attendance rates.
• Students complete “deep engagement” performance or exhibition.
• Students participate in a range of learning opportunities that take place in various spaces and times (off- and on-campus; before and after school).
• Non-assigned learning opportunities are pursued by students.
  Students persist to high school graduation.
