. Use surveys to capture perceptual data. Administer some kind of survey to all shareholders with reasonable frequency.
Determine how often to administer yom surveys by considering several factors:
• Mobility of student families
• Grade span served (if you serve only three grades, you could have a complete turnover of parents every three years)
• Change in leadership
• Change in organizational practice.
A school will rarely have each of the surveys listed here, but at least one survey should be administered and evaluated.
Common survey types include: Title I Needs Assessment, Title I Parent Surveys, District school climate surveys. Staff

Relevant Findings
The findings of this survey showed that all teachers believe Hardy is a safe place
to work. Teachers also have high expectations for the students they teach and
believe that all students are capable of learning. Teacher responses also
indicated that the professional development provided supports teacher needs in
the classroom and that grade-level and vertical team planning benefit the
teachers. Teachers also believed that the data collected on students was used
constructively to inform goals and improvement strategies. Better
communication between the staff and the administration was indicated as an area
of need.
Students overall reported that they enjoy coming to Intersession each quarter.
They like having the different classes and would come back to Intersession
again. A small amount of students reported that they did not enjoy all of their
classes because they did not get the class they signed up for.
Most parents are very happy with the Intersession program. They claim that the
brochure is easy to read and that their children like coming to Intersession. One
item that consistently came up on the survey with parents was that their children
didn't always get the classes they signed up for.
Teachers consistently reported that Intersession was a benefit to their classroom.
Those teaching recovery said they were given time to focus on needed skills and
that the benefit of smaller classes made intense instruction more possible.
Teachers working enrichment liked the different atmosphere and being able to
work with students in other grade levels. One concern teachers indicated having
was not receiving the Intersession schedules and roll sheets early enough to plan
efficiently.
