Learning is all about purposeful engagement.
The engaged student is attentive, committed, persistent, and finds meaning and value in the tasks.
– Phil Schlechty
Three sequential hallmarks of Engagement:
1. Focus: passed the FAIRE test below
2. Curiosity: I am having fun and want to continue to do so.

Persist is what the student does.
Engagement is why they do it.
