SURVEY OPTIONS

TEACHER DEVELOPMENT SURVEY OPTIONS OVERVIEW

Our educator development surveys are the result of collaboration with partners including experts from Vanderbilt University and the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence. They are supported by extensive research and have been implemented in districts and schools nationwide.

Each survey elevates one or more voices from the school community all focused on improving the effectiveness, well-being, and retention of teachers. Results can drive formative and evaluative conversations with teachers to support their development and improve outcomes for teachers and students.

The surveys include the STeP, a three survey suite that captures a 360-view of teacher effectiveness, The Teacher Retention Survey, the Educator Well Being survey, and The Working conditions survey.

Each skill unit is comprised of 3 lessons that require 25-30 minutes. Each lesson follows an effective Tell-Show-Do-Monitor Progress-Generalize format and features engaging PowerPoints, video/song clips, and downloadable materials to support students’ learning how to apply SEL skills in up to 60 social situations. The Skill Units are ungraded; Units 1-5 are Fundamental and can be used with students ages 3-5, while Units 6-15 can be used with students 4-6. The program meets the S.A.F.E.R.
