Abstract The purpose of this introductory chapter is to introduce engagement as a multidimensional construct and provide an overview of student-engagement interventions. First, we describe reasons for the growing interest in the construct of engagement in research, policy, and practice. Next, we present demographic and developmental differences in engagement and provide a summary of the theoretical models and conceptual issues related to the engagement construct. We then describe why engagement is a key locus for interventions that aim to reduce dropout rates, increase achievement, and help students to develop the skills that are necessary to compete for the jobs of future. Specifically, we describe variations in the goals, targets, and populations served by current engagement interventions. We then describe some of the challenges around the evaluation of and implementation of these interventions. Finally, we conclude with an overview of the goals and structure of the handbook.
