ACHIEVEMENT

VISION DIRECTION JOURNEY FOCUS

Debbie Wants You 2 Know…

• A. Look at a variety of data. Climate, teacher

turnover, discipline, achievement data for needs and support for their school – their own data

• B. Spend time talking about this data with their staff
• C. Student achievement is not just test scores, it is

part of the learning square

• D. Wants them to collaborate – wants them to talk

with one another about what is working at each school – wants all children to learn

• Professional Learning Opportunities

– series of workshops

• Using Evidence to Meet the Needs of

ALL Learners

School Climate Resource Interpretation

South Carolina Educational Policy Center College of Education, University of South Carolina

• Dr. Diane Monrad

Resource 1: Factor Scores

• Shows school’s climate trends over a four-year period for climate factors

from each respondent group (teachers, students, and parents).

• The total number of respondents per survey per year is located at the

top of the graph. A school needed to have at least 10 teacher, 15 student, and 10 parent ratings to compute factor scores.

• The 0 line represents the average across factor scores for all schools at

the same organizational level.

• Scores should be interpreted in terms of standard deviations. The

number tells how far away from the average your school is, while the sign, + or -, tells you if your school is above or below the average.

Resource 2: Percentile Ranks

• This table indicates the relative position of your school’s climate scores.

Your school’s teacher, student, and parent factor scores are compared to

• ther schools in the same organizational level across the state.
• The position of your school is shown for a four-year period by the three

groups (teachers, students, parents).

• An examination across rows indicates how scores for a respondent group

compare across years.

• The examination down columns indicates how scores compare across

factors for a given year.

Resource 3: Item Scale Percentage Tables

• This table indicates the percentage of respondents selecting each

response category for every question by respondent group.

• The table contains the items in rows and the response categories in
• columns. Response categories change across survey types and within the

parent survey.

• Items are grouped by factor; items from the “Other Items” section are

not included in the factor analysis for technical/statistical reasons.

Resource 4: Boxplots

• This graph compares your school’s percentage agreement (Mostly Agree

& Agree categories) for each item to other schools at the same

• rganizational level.
• The graph indicates how your school (blue triangle) compares to other

schools at the same organizational level (box plot). In addition, it shows how your school (blue triangle) compares to other similar schools (red triangles).
