Abstract
To inform my future curricular improvements and the teaching methodology I use, is the purpose of this research. Research Questions The purpose of this study was to answer these questions: 1. How can curriculum design increase student engagement? 2. What best practices increase student engagement? Focus of the Paper This paper examines literature to define what is meant by student engagement and examines how curriculum design and teacher practices contribute to increased student engagement. In my search for articles, which support this research, I used EBSCO. I used these descriptors: “secondary education,” “student engagement,” and “teaching practices.” I also used "relationships."
