Grossmont College has deployed the Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE) and accompanying Community College Faculty Survey of Student Engagement (CCFSSE) for the first time in 2012 and again in 2015. These survey instruments have been used by community colleges across the country since 2001 as part of a research program on educational practices by the College of Education at the University of Texas at Austin. More about their work can be found at the CCCSE web site.
The simple answer is that student learning, persistence, and attainment in college are strongly associated with student engagement. Student engagement is defined as the the amount of time and energy students invest in meaningful educational practices . Additional explanation of why engagement matters and references to the literature that supports their claims can be found on the CCSSE page "Why Focus on Student Engagement?"
