It allowed us to collect data that no other survey tool has collected. Prior to this year our surveys and other methods of collecting data provided only anecdotal information. As a result of participating in this pilot study, we now have quantitative and qualitative data to make our decisions. I consider that as being very impressive.

It gives me information on many different levels. For example, an overview of facilities district-wide, housing district-wide, teachers embracing and feeling confident with the professional development offered or not, teachers’ understanding and use of curriculum. This overview highlighted what needed to be worked on and what was going well in relation to departments.

The written reports and facilitation process that you employed resulted in conversations that helped us reflect on data and feedback in a way that challenged and supported us to take action based on what we were learning. It’s hard to really ignore collective data when you’ve made a commitment to be focused on strengthening your workforce.
The presentations you as consultants provided for the board were really important. Some members of the board referred back to it throughout the year as a focus area. Because of the board’s interest, I’ve placed survey results on the agenda to continue to discuss staff retention with them.
