Strengthening School Connectedness to Increase Student Success
Category: Student Well-Being
Excerpted Description: Tennessee has created an infrastructure for measuring school climate through the construction of reliable and validated survey measurement tools that are custom designed with stakeholder input from students, parents and educators in Tennessee. The survey measurement tools include: High School Survey, Middle School Survey, Elementary School Survey, Teacher Survey, and Parent Survey. All surveys are built on the same matrix which measures school experience in the three broad areas of (1) engagement (2) safety and (3) environment. This allows for comparison among student, parent and teacher surveys for a school. School level data can be aggregated to develop district level reports.
