Ever feel like your students are listening but not learning? You’re not alone. Today’s classrooms need more than lectures, they need participation, curiosity, and action. And that’s exactly what CBSE’s new Student Engagement Framework aims to deliver..
Designed to turn passive learners into active explorers, it shifts the focus from rote learning to real engagement where students ask questions, share ideas, and learn by doing. Think of it as a playbook for making every student feel seen, heard, and inspired to learn, not just for exams, but for life.
With this versatile framework, the academic experience goes beyond just covering the syllabus; it's about uncovering real potential. Let’s explore how you can bring it to life at your school.
This framework is designed for modern classrooms where students aren’t just learning, they’re experiencing, questioning, and collaborating. By emphasizing collaboration, inquiry, and real-world relevance, it helps students stay involved and retain more. You can welcome this transformative change by focusing on creating interactive lessons, using group activities, and connecting learning to life skills.
Let’s look at 4 strategies based on this framework that will help you maximize engagement and boost retention:
Adopt A Hub-Spoke Collaboration Model
The Hub-Spoke Collaboration Model builds a supportive network where “Hub” schools guide “Spoke” schools in fostering student mental health and SEL. By sharing resources, counseling strategies, and best practices, schools can partner rather than compete, ensuring no student or teacher faces these challenges alone.
Empower Teachers as Career Coaches
Teachers can go beyond instruction and become mentors with the Career Guidance Dashboard. This dynamic tool provides students, parents, and educators with up-to-date resources for exploring career paths. Teachers can guide students using dashboards, insights, track interests, and personalize advice.
Rethink Assessments for Competency-Growth
Shift from marks to mastery by focusing on assessments that evaluate understanding, skills, and problem-solving, not just rote recall. Use real-world projects, open-ended questions, and reflective exercises to measure growth. Leverage the Objective to Subjective Question Converter, powered by Extra Intelligence, to transform standard questions into thought-provoking, competency-based tasks that enhance learning outcomes.
Encourage Tech-Enabled Learning
Bring learning to life with digital tools! Integrate apps, simulations, and interactive platforms to make lessons engaging, visual, and hands-on. With Extramarks Smart Class Plus, teachers can assign interactive lessons, use gamified assessments, and track student progress in real time.
Get access to AI-driven analytics that highlight strengths, gaps, and progress trends, helping personalize lessons. Predictive reports, real-time dashboards, and performance tracking empower educators to make data-driven decisions, boost engagement, and ensure every student achieves their full potential.
Turning students into active learners isn’t a one-time effort, it’s a journey. By fostering participation, curiosity, and real-world connections, you can transform your classroom experience and create a space of curiosity and growth. The tools are here, the framework is set, are you ready to ignite engagement?
