  5. What is school climate? • No clear definition in research • Encompasses experiences and atmosphere in schools • Why do we administer climate surveys? • Assess climate of our schools from constituents’ perspectives • Provide data to plan for improvement • Provide a forum for parents, students, and teachers to voice their opinions Climate Surveys

  6. Based on a meta-analysis of research on factors that are related to academic achievement at the K-12 level, variables in four major categories demonstrate “direct empirical links”1 • Student engagement • Learning strategies • School climate • Social-familial influences 1Lee, Jihyun and Shute, Valerie J. (2010) ‘Personal and Social-Contextual Factors in K-12 Academic Performance: An Integrative Perspective on Student Learning’, Educational Psychologist, 45: 3, 185 Research shows school climate is important for student achievement

  7. Academic emphasis • “Expectations of schools for their students and positive reactions from school community”2 • Teacher variables • “Collective efficacy, teacher empowerment, sense of affiliation”3 • Principal leadership • “Collegiality, setting high morale, and clearly conveying goals”4 2Lee, Jihyun and Shute, Valerie J.

  8. In BPS, we began administering the climate surveys in Spring 2009 • Today, the surveys are administered: • Online for teachers, with follow-up email reminders (3) including response rate updates to all teachers by school. Survey responses are anonymous. • On paper for students (grades 3 through 11). Beginning in 2012, seniors complete a separate Senior Exit Survey. Student responses to both surveys are linked to their BPS IDs so that results can be analyzed by demographic characteristics. • Online and paper for parents and guardians, in all 8 languages. Parents receive the initial survey through backpacks, followed by a reminder postcard mailed directly to the home; and a second copy of the survey also mailed directly to the home. Parent responses are anonymous and linked only to the school(s) their child attends. History of Climate Surveys in BPS
