Dear Parents,
TC values and needs input from the community!
In the coming weeks, you will receive a link to the School Culture 360™ Survey that has been developed by researchers at the Institute for Education Policy at Johns Hopkins University. Each year, it is critical for school leaders to have reliable data to assess their school environments.
This survey can identify areas for celebration, areas for growth, and disconnects between different groups of participants.
The aspects of school culture this survey measures are:
- School Climate - Characteristics of the school environment that foster academic achievement and positive interpersonal relationships
- Academic Climate - Characteristics of the learning environment that promote high expectations, teacher support of student learning, and peer support of student learning
- Civic Open Classroom Climate - The routine experience of deliberation and viewpoint diversity
- School Mission and Vision - The stakeholders’ beliefs about the school’s commitments and values
These areas have been linked to various student outcomes, including academic achievement and civic preparation. A summary of research about these domains is available upon request.
This survey is completely anonymous and will be used for secondary research. Participation in the survey is completely voluntary; there are no penalties for not participating.
Please keep an eye out for the survey link that will be sent by an administrator at TC. By sharing your thoughts about TC's school environment, you will provide useful insights that may otherwise go unnoticed.
Thank you so much for your help!
