Non-engaged Time
Correlates of Engaged Time:
• Higher achieving students are engaged for 75% of the time
• Lower achieving students often have engagement rates that are below 50%
• If we want to assure achievement, then we must engage students in meaningful tasks
Dangers of Non‐engaged Time:
• A low degree of engaged time creates a vacuum in which students can and will exhibit problem
behaviors
• Well‐run classrooms with high rates of successful engaged time are places in which there are
few behavioral problems
Non‐engaged Students Frequently:
Become passive learners
Give up easily on tasks
Become anxious
Become withdrawn
Become angry about school
Fail in future grades
Systemic Problem:
Many students are used to watching television and expect to be entertained.
Subsequently…
The role of a teacher involves being interesting and involving students in the learning process.
Planning is the Key:
• Students who are engaged are benefiting from a carefully planned environment
• Teachers also benefit from an environment exemplified by students who are academically engaged
• Create a “Win‐Win” situation within your classroom
