Assignment 3, Slide 2 Background Info

So why does this matter? Well first off, college drop out rates have reached a staggering rate of 50%. 50% of college students are dropping out of school. What does this tell us? That America’s education system is failing some kind of way. Chances are, we can trace this back to when these students were children in elementary schools. The root of this issue can be traced back to when children first become students, and the habits and skills they develop when they are young.

To combat this issue, the National Survey of Engagement was created in 1998 to assess students and see how they become engaged in classrooms to become life long learners. Their mission as the National Survey of Engagement is to obtain “meaningful quality improvement”.
