The improvement of student engaged time leads to instructional improvement. Major steps for improving instruction by increasing student engaged time are information collection, comparison of information and identification of strategies, selection and preparation of strategies, and implementation and re-evaluation. This leader's guide covers the topics of comparison and identification by teaching program participants how to: (1) compute student engaged time; (2) compare information collected with research findings; (3) identify opportunities for improvement; and (4) set tentative goals for student engaged time, allocated time, and engagement rate. Instructional materials to be used in this program are included. (CJ)
