Student Engagement Survey

Students deserve consistently engaging, worthwhile experiences in school. And as we learned in The Opportunity  Myth, students can provide valuable feedback about whether their experiences are engaging or worthwhile—if we ask them.

To understand how your students perceive their daily lessons, use this Student Engagement Survey, which is a slightly modified version of the student surveys we administered as part of our research for The Opportunity Myth. Administer the anonymous survey regularly to understand how engaging and worthwhile your students perceived your lesson for the day to be—and then use that information to make lessons even more engaging and worthwhile.

Consult the Student Engagement Survey Scoring Guide to see which questions measure engagement and which questions measure worth.
