  1. KSD Climate Survey Results – Spring 2011:  Parent Survey Student Survey Staff Survey Office of Accountability Presentation to the KSD Board of Directors 14 Sep 2011

  2. Survey Rationale • Positive school climate is central to school improvement. Climate correlates to Effective Schools research and high performing schools. • In 2009-2010 Superintendent Established that ALL KSD Schools (not just Title I) would conduct Annual Climate Surveys for the purpose of continued school and district wide improvement. • Multiple measures are necessary for monitoring progress toward district goals. These measures include: • Tests for determining academic achievement, and • Surveys for assessing climate and communication. • Questions are based upon the characteristics of effective schools: • High expectations, • Respect for Diversity, and • Sense of Safety.

  3. Survey Implementation • In response to Board Goal #1 there is a need to look at the data that describes conditions that lead to student success school-by-school and system-wide. • Surveys administered to all groups in Spring 2011 • Parent Surveys • Distributed by schools to all parents • Printed in 5 languages • 4148 surveys returned • Student Surveys • Students in Grades 3-12 • Administered in school • Middle school took on-line; paper at elementary and high schools • 14519 surveys completed • Staff Surveys • Administered to all staff • On-line • 1414 surveys completed

  4. Key Findings • All surveyed groups were generally positivein believing that KSD has: • High expectations for students, • Schools are safe, • Staff that respect diversity. • Students indicated somewhat negative beliefs regarding: • Lack of respect among students, and • Presence of bullying at Grades 3-8.

  5. High Expectations • Having High Expectations is critical to student learning success. • “Nobody rises to low expectations!” • Though positive, students are less positive than either parents or staff in believing that staff have high expectations for their learning

  6. Safety • Parents, staff, and students agreed that their school was a safe place to learn. • Middle School students, while somewhat positive, were less in agreement than other groups.

  7. Respect for Diversity • Parents and staff agreed that school staff were respectful of cultural and language diversity. • Staff and elementary parents were strongly positive in this belief; secondary parents, while positive, were less so.

  8. Parent Survey: Staff Cares about Child’s Success

  9. Student Survey: Peer Respect • Although students felt schools were safe, students indicated there was a lack of respect among students; especially among middle and high school students.

  10. Student Surveys (Gr3-8) Bullying/Harassment • Elementary and Middle school students indicated bullying and harassment were problems in school. • Their responses are similar to their indication of a lack of respect among students.

  11. Parent Survey

  12. Secondary Student Survey

  13. Staff Survey: Teachers, Administrators, and ParaEducators While similar in being strongly positive, perceptual differences among job roles exist.

  14. Implications of Survey Results • There is a positive climate about schools in KSD. This provides a strong platform for school improvement. However, differences between staff, parents, and student perceptions should be probed. • Current work to maintain a safe learning environment is perceived as successful. • While staff and students believe learning expectations are high, secondary students do not as strongly believe this. This implies that student learning expectations could be higher at the secondary level. • Issues around peer respect, especially bullying and harassment among students, need mitigating.

  15. Next Steps: Data will be shared with each school. Data will be included in the School Improvement Plans which will be presented to the Board for approval. Schools will use data to build on strengths and address concerns. The use of perceptual data supplements achievement data leading to school improvement. School Climate Surveys will be given annually to develop longitudinal data.
