Introduction

Educational Effectiveness Survey, Student SEL Edition

While there is no single solution for all schools, research on effective schools identified common characteristics of high-performing schools known as the 9 Characteristics.Successful schools engaged in improvement activities focus on these characteristics of “organizational and educator capacity” to create and improve the system(s) thatultimately drive performance outcomes. Understanding the perceptions of your student population is essential to inform changes for improvement.

Note: The Characteristics, “Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment” and “Focused Professional Development”, are professional activities conducted amongst the adult schoolcommunity and are rarely viewed by students. Thus questions regarding those Characteristics are not a part of the survey and do not appear in this report.

7 Student and School Success Principles and Expected Indicators (Indistar®) (if applicable)

If your district utilizes the 7 Student and School Success Principles and Expected Indicators (Indistar®), the 2nd section of your report provides you with results organized by thePrinciples with detailed results on each indicator.

While there are 7 Principles identifying actions, changes, skills and systems necessary to improve student learning, student perspective typically only views a sub-set of thePrinciples: Principle 1 (Provide Strong Leadership), Principle 4 (Strengthen the School's Instructional Program), Principle 6 (Establish a Safe and Supportive SchoolEnvironment) and Principle 7 (Provide Mechanisms for Family and Community Engagement). The other three “Principles” are most often not observed by the student.
