By Carol De Furia Student engagement is a critical driver of academic success. If students are bored and disengaged in school, then studies show they won’t learn as effectively. Numerous studies confirm the link between engagement and success. In one example, Gallup measured student engagement in schools for more than a decade and found that schools in the top quartile of engagement had significantly more students exceeding and meeting proficiency requirements than those in the bottom quartile.
