Abstract (AI)

Findings from five main projects in the National Center on Effective Secondary Schools, which operated from December 1, 1985 to February 28, 1991, are presented. Projects investigated different aspects of engagement and achievement problems through literature reviews, analyses of existing data sets, and new studies of students and staff in 32 middle and 62 high schools throughout the United States. Material from the projects is integrated into the following chapters: (1) "The Significance and Sources of Student Engagement" (F. M. Newmann, G. G. Wehlage, and S. D. Lamborn); (2) "Taking Students Seriously" (A. Gamoran and M. Nystrand); (3) "Higher-Order Thinking and Prospects for Classroom Thoughtfulness" (F. M. Newmann); (4) "Building New Programs for Students at Risk" (G. G. Wehlage and G. A. Smith); (5) "Cultivating Teacher Engagement: Breaking the Iron Law of Social Class" (K. S. Louis and B. Smith); (6) "Putting School in

Key Findings

The National Center on Effective Secondary Schools synthesized findings from five projects conducted between 1985 and 1991 on student engagement and achievement.

The integrated projects addressed the significance and sources of student engagement, student voice, higher-order thinking, programs for students at risk, and teacher engagement.

The research examined engagement and achievement through literature reviews, secondary data analyses, and new studies involving students and staff in 32 middle and 62 high schools across the United States.

The work connected classroom thoughtfulness, teacher engagement, and school programs with efforts to improve achievement and address social-class-related inequalities.
