Where+the+students+are+at

In June 2011, the students took the Student Engagement Survey again. The results show that overall, students' feelings, attitudes and understanding about learning have increased. It was reassuring to see that our small steps had resulted in definite gains for the students. The one area in which we had dropped slightly is Home/School connection. In fact, of the two questions in the category, results actually improved in one (I can see clear links between what I learn at school and my life outside school), but dropped in the other (I think about what we were doing in class when I am at home). The good news is that this information gives us a clear focus for continued research and action plans.
