The High School Survey of Student Engagement releases its findings to the public on a regular basis.  These findings certainly reveal the need for attention on the issue of student engagement.  The survey defines engagement as all that involves and invests students to come to school, remain in school, and learn in school. Many of the students that were surveyed expressed surprise that they were being asked to share their experiences and opinions.  A number of them shared they did not imagine anyone would do anything about their struggles with engagement. Read over some of the findings in this web page on the HSSSE:
