Description
Using data from the NSW Tell Them From Me (TTFM) secondary school student survey, this paper explores the links between students’ engagement and experience of teaching practices in the middle of high school (Year 10) and their likelihood of completing Year 12 two years later.
Main findings
- Positive engagement and effective teaching increase all students’ chances of completing Year 12.
- Engaging disadvantaged students increase their chances of completing school.
- Students from low-SES backgrounds are more likely to be disengaged in key predictors of school completion than students from high-SES backgrounds.
