NAIS School Culture and Student Experience Webinar Series: What Students Tell Us About Engagement & Learning

Student engagement is one of the strongest indicators of student success and school effectiveness. In this webinar from the 2026-2027 NAIS School Culture and Student Experience Webinar Series, draw on findings from the High School Survey of Student Engagement (HSSSE) and Middle Grades Survey of Student Engagement (MGSSE) to explore what student engagement data reveals about students' academic experiences, motivation, relationships, and connection to school. Consider practical ways to build adult capacity and create healthier, more connected school cultures.
