  You Can  Help With School Improvement!    
  April 7, 2010  
  Tim Winter  
     
  To improve school quality and help students learn, school personnel need to identify their strengths and areas needing improvement. Obtaining your views about your school is an important part of this process. The survey on the following pages was developed to generate discussion that can help your school improvement efforts. Each of the statements in the survey relate to one or more of the nine characteristics of high-performing schools.

It will take you about 10 minutes to complete the survey. To ensure your responses remain confidential, your ratings will be combined with others and reported as a group. Completing the survey is voluntary, although we encourage you to respond honestly to help your school get a complete understanding of everyone’s views.

Here are the survey links:
