The Engagement Index What is Engagement? “Engagement is a voluntary state of connection with an organisation.” Teachers (sta Students and Parents engag th the school 25/12/24 Pathways International Consulting 10 

صفحه 11:
The Engagement Index Teacher Engagement Teachers embrace the vocation of teaching for many reasons. * some because they like working with children, * some because they enjoy the challenge of developing their students in all sorts of ways, * others become teachers because they have a passion for their subject area and, * there are those few who are teachers because the hours and the holidays suit their lifestyle. 25/12/24 Pathways International Consulting 11 

صفحه 12:
Engagement Whatever the reason for embracing the vocation of teaching, teachers are then employed in a school setting. They are employed to lead their students to learning, not just academic learning but that learning we all need to become balanced human beings. For any teacher, to be able to do that happily, the school (their employer) needs to provide an environment with which they can engage. 25/12/24 Pathways International Consulting 12 

صفحه 13:
Engagement Stage one: ٠ The first stage is a purely knowledge and understanding level of engagement. In other words, I know and understand about this organisation so therefore I willingly become engaged with it. Stage two: * Because I made the initial effort to engage with the school on the basis of my knowledge of it, I become motivated to be more and more involved with the school and its activities. So the second stage of my engagement is involvement/motivation. 25/12/24 Pathways International Consulting 13 

صفحه 14:
Engagement Stage three: * As I become more and more involved with the school and its activities I develop a level of professional (and personal) satisfaction about my connection with the school. So the third stage of engagement is satisfaction. My level of satisfaction may be strong or weak. Stage four: ٠ When my level of satisfaction is high I may move to the next stage of my engagement with the school and develop a commitment to and/or passion for the school as an organisation, for what it is, what it stands for, what is doing and how it does it. 25/12/24 Pathways International Consulting 14 

صفحه 15:
Engagement Stage five: ¢ The most engaged I can be with the school is when, as a result of my commitment and passion, I advocate willingly for the school. So advocacy is the fifth and final stage of engagement. 25/12/24 Pathways International Consulting 15

Engagement The measurement The person completing the questionnaire is asked to rate each Item on two seven point scales. On the first scale the rating refers to the level of importance the person places on the particular item. The second scale asks them to agree or disagree with the Item according to their personal position. The two scales approach provides a valuable measurement tool. 25/12/24 Pathways International Consulting 21 

صفحه 22:
Engagement If the person is asked, for example, just to agree or disagree with the statement, the inference is that they see all the items as of equal importance. Not all the items are of equal importance to everyone. To disagree strongly with a statement that you rate of little importance is of less consequence than strongly disagreeing with a statement about an issue you believe is really important. 25/12/24 Pathways International Consulting 22

Engagement The Gap score indicates the average difference between the two rankings of an item. If the Gap score is high, e.g. 25% to 50% (or higher) this indicates that this is a “crucial item” and worthy of further attention because the Gap obviously indicates a level of emotional concern by the people who have completed the questionnaire. 25/12/24 Pathways International Consulting 24
