POSITIVE EFFECTS ON

STUDENT ENGAGEMENT

• High Impact Practices (HIPs) create positive effects on student

engagement.

• Kuh (2008) says that, as educators, our role is to make it possible for

every student to participate in at least two HIPs during college.

“High Impact Practices are curricular and co-curricular

structures that tend to draw upon high-quality pedagogies

and practices in pursuit of 21st Century learning outcomes;

they are teaching and learning practices that have been

widely tested and have shown to be beneficial for college

students..,[toward] increased rates of retention and student

engagement” (Kuh, 2008)
