What does the Student Engagement survey entail?

Student engagement surveys provide an opportunity for learners to express perspectives on their learning experience. The five areas measured by the survey are Active, Safe, Respected, Challenged, and Supported. Learners are asked to self-identify their race/ethnicity on anonymous surveys, in order to provide opportunities for educators to have Courageous Conversations around engagement data. Guidance from the SPPS Office of Research, Evaluation and Assessment along with statistical standards from the National Center of Education Statistics were utilized when developing how to ask learners to self-identify their race/ethnicity.
