According to Carini, Kuh, and Klein (2006), "Student engagement is generally considered to be among the better predictors of learning and personal development.”

In the U.S., the Every Student Succeeds Act (SSA) has a multiple-measures requirement that has opened the door in some states to looking at measurements of social and emotional learning (see Social Emotional Emotional Learning States Consider New Accountability Indicator ).

How do we quantitatively measure student engagement (e.g. for educators, administrators, etc.) and get the measurements to the right people in a way that helps improve (directly or indirectly) the student learning experience?
