Student Learning Climate Survey

Below is the student learning climate survey that we would administer once per quarter during the school year. The results gathered from the survey would be used to give teachers feedback on how their lessons are coming across to the students. If students feel there is too much time spent listening to the teacher talk, then teachers could alter their instruction to include more opportunities for student voice. This survey will also be a good indicator of how confident students are in their abilities of reading, writing, mathematics, and presenting data. Teachers and administrators can use these results to provide additional support to students who are struggling and/or not feeling like their skills are ready for the real world by putting these students in real-life-like situations more frequently in class.
