Cognitive-Academic Engagement captures students’ effort, investment in work, and strategies for learning— the work students do and the ways students go about their work. This dimension, focusing primarily on engagement during instructional time and with instruction-related activities, can be described as engagement of the mind.

Social-Behavioral Engagement emphasizes students’ actions and participation within the school outside of instructional time, including non-academic school-based activities, social and extracurricular activities, and interactions with other students — the ways in which students interact within the school community beyond the classroom. This dimension, with its focus on student actions, interactions, and participation within the school community, can be described as engagement in the life of the school.

Emotional Engagement encompasses students’ feelings of connection to (or disconnection from) their school — how students feel about where they are in school, the ways and workings of the school, and the people within the school. This dimension, focusing largely on students’ internal lives not frequently expressed explicitly in observable behavior and actions, can be described as engagement of the heart.
