Teaching Reports

Engaging Students for Success

June 2014

To learn more about educators’ views regarding student engagement and motivation, the Education Week Research Center—with support from the Atlantic Philanthropies, the California Endowment, the NoVo Foundation, and the Raikes Foundation—conducted a survey of registered users of edweek.org, Education Week’s flagship website. More than 500 teachers and school-based administrators responded to the survey, which was fielded in April 2014. The survey results presented in this report offer important insights into: educators’ perspectives on issues related to student engagement and motivation; the levels of engagement and motivation among students at respondents’ schools; potential strategies and solutions; and a range of related topics.
