Every spring, the Office of Research and Evaluation (ORE) administers the SDP District-Wide Survey to students, teachers, parents, guardians, and principals. The surveys measure five key topics: Climate, Instruction, Professional Capacity, Leadership, and Parent & Guardian Community Ties. This year, we’re working on a series that examines areas of agreement–and disagreement–between students, families, and educators.

The first installment compared responses from students, teachers, parents, and principals about respect; the second looked at teacher and student responses about hard work; and the third used the same survey data to compare perspectives on school safety. This fourth entry in the series examines four questions related to leadership:

  • Do principals set high standards for student learning?
  • Do principals communicate a clear mission or vision?
  • Do principals promote community involvement?
  • Do principals create a sense of community at their schools?
