The 5Essentials School Effectiveness Survey is a comprehensive, diagnostic tool for identifying schools' strengths and weaknesses. The survey combines validated questions and rigorous analysis to measure a school's performance on the five essential supports of school improvement:

•    Effective Leaders

•    Collaborative Teachers

•    Involved Families

•    Supportive Environment

•    Ambitious Instruction

The survey administration period typically lasts a total of 30 days for each school. School coordinators, appointed by principals, organize students and teachers to take the survey during that time. The survey, conducted entirely online using our Survey Administration Tool, allows us to understand what is happening inside schools and how we can improve instruction and school conditions.

 

Here is the link to the survey, if you could please take time to complete it, I would certainly appreciate it!
