Assessment & Evaluation (A&E)

ASD Climate and Connectedness Survey

The Climate and Connectedness Survey provides schools with information about the perceptions and experiences of students, staff and parents/guardians for use in setting school goals and redirecting resources.

The survey will give principals and school staff valid and reliable data regarding school climate and connectedness, which have been shown to be pre-conditions for learning to take place.

The student and staff surveys were designed by the American Institutes for Research in conjunction with the Association of Alaska School Boards. To review their brochure of the survey click here.

Student Survey

Students will take the survey at their school, during the survey window (January 19 to February 10, 2010). Students enrolled at AVAIL, COHO, Continuation, COHO, Crossroads, Family Partnership, Frontier and Highland Tech will complete the survey online, which will only be available from their principal/teacher.

Students in grades 3-4 answer questions about Caring Others and Social and Emotional Learning. The grades 5-12 questionnaire asks about School Leadership and Student Involvement, Respectful Climate, High Expectations, School Safety, Peer Climate, Caring Adults, School Danger and Social and Emotional Skills.

Parent/Guardian Survey

In an effort to increase the return rate, parents/guardians will have multiple opportunities to complete the survey. Parents will complete one survey for each of their children in school. In the case of dual guardianship, surveys will be mailed to each parent/guardian. If you would like to view the survey please click here: Climate and Connectedness Parent/Guardian Survey.
