The findings of One-sample t test revealed that all the respondents are in favor of the existence of all four variables. The finding of independent sample t-test for all four variables revealed that teachers and students are significantly differed to assign mean values to three variables.  The finding of the regression analysis found that student engagement and classroom management significantly contributed towards the academic achievement of the students whereas instructional strategies does not contribute, being insignificant.
