 OFFLINE | The Illinois State Board of Education recently made public the results of the 2015 "5 Essentials Survey," a compilation of responses from about 675,000 students and 103,000 teachers that reveals the strengths and weaknesses affecting school culture and atmosphere.
The survey, overseen by UChicago Impact, a University of Chicago nonprofit organization, is intended to measure categories that relate to successful schools. These ingredients for success, stemming from decades of research at the University of Chicago, are the five essentials: effective leaders; teachers who collaborate and commit to a school; strong relationships with families and communities; a safe and supportive atmosphere; and challenging and engaging instruction.
The Tribune found that in four of the five areas, only about a quarter to a third of schools scored high enough to be considered strong, raising questions about whether schools are creating the kind of environment that allows students to learn and improve. Search for your school by typing the school name, district or county in the link below.
