1 Assess your current situation

Before you try to change anything, you need to understand what is going on in your classroom. How do you measure student engagement??? What are the indicators that tell you if students are interested, motivated, and involved in the learning process? How often do you collect feedback from your students and yourself? How do you use data to inform your decisions? By assessing your current situation, you can identify the strengths and weaknesses of your engagement strategies, and the areas that need improvement.

First step would be to speak to your clients (students) and adress your honest intention to serve them better. A survey followed by this can help identify what aspects of current process are working well and where do we require a course correction. Its important to understand the generation we are dealing with at times, the faculty or content creator team assume what is interesting or gamify as per their domain expertise, however the current lot of learners have a different approach to learning which needs to be equally undertsood well. Gamifying or inculcating too much of technology without human touch at times also reduces engagement; there has to be a fine balance between technology and personalised touch in the product or services.

2 Review your goals and expectations

Another step to take if your student engagement strategies are not working is to review your goals and expectations for yourself and your students. Are they clear, realistic, and aligned with the curriculum and standards? Are they communicated and negotiated with your students? Are they monitored and evaluated regularly? Are they flexible and adaptable to changing circumstances and needs? By reviewing your goals and expectations, you can ensure that they are relevant, meaningful, and achievable for your students, and that they guide your engagement strategies.

3 Try something new or different

Sometimes, the best way to re-engage your students is to try something new or different in your teaching and learning activities. This could mean introducing a new topic, format, resource, tool, or method that sparks curiosity, creativity, or collaboration. It could also mean changing the pace, sequence, or structure of your lessons, or giving students more choice, autonomy, or voice in their learning. By trying something new or different, you can create variety, novelty, and challenge for your students, and stimulate their engagement.

4 Seek support and feedback

Another tip to help you if your student engagement strategies are not working is to seek support and feedback from others. This could include your colleagues, mentors, coaches, or leaders in your school or network, who can offer advice, guidance, or collaboration. It could also include experts, researchers, or practitioners in the field of educational leadership, who can share best practices, insights, or resources. By seeking support and feedback, you can learn from others' experiences, perspectives, and suggestions, and improve your engagement strategies.

Understanding the expectations of the students is very important for these things to work. If a student is trying to learn practical aspect of a subject and I am teaching the theoretical aspects, the student will never stay engaged. Instead, asking the students what are their expectations from this course and explaining what is your objective can make a lot of difference.

I agree with seeking feedback but your primary point of contact should be your students. It might be challenging to hear the "hard truths" but it necessary to improve both your practice and your relationship with your students. This by all means is a win-win situation as you improve engagement in your lesson and your students get to feel more involved and valued in the learning experience.

ASK YOUR STUDENTS! It can be so easy to forget to ask our students directly, but that is often the most effective way to engage your students. However, be sure to ask them in multiple ways. Directly posing the question to them is great but that often produces mixed results. So using directly asking with other things such as anonymous feedback forms or card sorting can give you a better picture of how to engage your students.

5 Reflect and evaluate

The final step to take if your student engagement strategies are not working is to reflect and evaluate your actions and outcomes. How did you implement the changes or innovations that you tried? What worked well and what did not? What were the effects on your students' engagement and learning? What did you learn from the process? How can you apply your learning to future situations? By reflecting and evaluating, you can assess your impact, celebrate your successes, and identify your areas for growth.

Talk to students directly or use anonymous surveys to understand why they're not engaged. Are the activities too difficult, too easy, or simply not interesting?
