The present research aims to study the effectiveness of Martin’sCognitive-Behavioral Multidimensional Interventions on the extent of academic achievement and engagement of high school female students in Isfahan city. Using multistage cluster sampling method, ٥٠ subjects were selected from among all high school ٢nd-grade female students in the educational year ٢٠٠٩-٢٠١٠ in Isfahan city. The sample population randomly assigned into two groups: an experimental group and a control group, each consisting of ٢٥ students. The experimental group received Martin’s Cognitive-Behavioral Multidimensional Interventions Program (٢٠٠٨). The research instrument was the Academic Engagement Survey by Archambault et al (٢٠٠٩). The data was analyzed using multivariate covariance (ANCOVA). The results indicated that Martin’s Cognitive-Behavioral MultidimensionalInterventions had a significant effect on the students’ academicengagement (including cognitive, motivational, and behavioral engagements) as well as their academic performance (p≤٠.٠٠١). Martin’s Cognitive-Behavioral Multidimensional Interventions can be used as a method to increase the students’ academic (cognitive, motivational and behavioral) engagement and academic performance
