Description¶
These Consortium on Chicago School Research survey instruments collect students' and teachers' views of school environment, classroom learning, parent involvement, governance, and teachers' professional work life.
Components¶
- Charting Reform student and teacher surveys: The Consortium on Chicago School Research administered the surveys Charting Reform: The Students Speak and Charting Reform: The Teachers' Turn to sixth, eighth and tenth grade students and to elementary and high school teachers during Spring 1994. In all, 266 elementary schools and 46 high schools participated with a response rate high enough to receive a school report. The purpose was to collect reliable information on students' and teachers' views of the school environment, classroom learning, parent involvement, governance, and the professional work life of teachers. (Sebring et al. (1995))
- Charting Reform student and teacher surveys with individualized school reports: An element consisting of two surveys, Charting Reform: The Students Speak and Charting Reform: The Teachers' Turn, administered in Spring 1994 to sixth, eighth and tenth grade students and to elementary and high school teachers. The Consortium produced individualized school reports with summary profile graphs comparing a school to all participating schools and to similar schools, plus detailed Part II scale distributions with top and bottom quartile benchmarks and interpretation tables for scale scores. (Sebring et al. (1995))
