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:

Your assignment is to develop a simple engagement survey of your own designed for your given student population (no more than 10 questions). Share your survey with this P2PU  learning group through a link, google documents, or a mass email. This assignment is flexible on timing so work on it but do not rush yourself to be done this week. Try to complete the survey and carry it out prior to the end of the course.

After giving and receiving feedback on your survey, administer it to your students and share with us how it went using the comments feature of this task.
