In Rockwall ISD, student engagement means that students are interested, challenged, satisfied, persistent, and committed to their work. According to district philosophy, “The critical result of student engagement is that students learn what is important for them to learn” (Schlechty). The goal is that students be life-long learners who can make good decisions while exhibiting high levels of character and integrity.
Rockwall ISD is going to always focus on the highest standards for every child. The district will continue to support high accountability and a need to be transparent in all our actions, yet also support the need to ensure that the spotlight is always on students, their needs, their learning, their happiness, and their futures.
