Student Engagement
Inspire and empower students to fully engage in their learning.
Create classrooms where students thrive
Research shows that student engagement drives achievement and success. When engagement is low, the reasons aren’t always clear. The Cognia Student Engagement Program pinpoints the causes and leads to meaningful change.
It starts with a purpose
Cognia specialists begin by guiding school leadership in identifying the reasons for examining student engagement, defining roles, and establishing benchmarks. We provide professional learning on classroom conditions and teaching strategies that foster engagement.
Collecting and connecting data
Together, we observe classrooms, survey students, and hold focus groups to understand classroom behaviors and interactions. Combining these results with existing data uncovers the reasons for low engagement and leads to practical improvement solutions.

Five steps to success
In today’s evolving educational landscape, student-centered learning is essential. Active engagement, collaboration, and real-world problem-solving drive modern teaching. We work side-by-side with school leadership teams to uncover where engagement is lagging and identify actionable ways to strengthen it.
Classroom observations and professional development drive improvement
When students are actively involved in their own learning and feel positively about their learning environment, they are much more likely to retain what’s being taught and develop critical thinking skills. Sumter School District in South Carolina wanted to find ways to spur students’ learning engagement and to gauge the extent of that engagement.
