Staff Surveys
.

The Instructional Quality Survey (IQS) is for all certificated, classified and administrative staff.  The 72-item survey is an adaptation of one that the RMC Research Corporation (Portland, Oregon) developed under a federal grant to support schoolwide planning.  The IQS assesses how well the school stacks up against 13 traits of "effective schools" including program goals and objectives, expectations for students, coordination among programs, parent and community involvement, staff development, leadership, instruction, academic learning time, monitoring student progress, feedback and reinforcement, school and classroom climate, recognizing excellence and using evaluation results.
