ACADEMIC PLANNING
As part our Strategic Planning we offer a path to a Data Dashboard for the School of learning outcomes. Here are some core elements of this service:
1. The process we use is very similar to the overall Strategic Planning process except only academic focused.
2. We use proprietary community and school climate assessment tools ( see pdf below) to discover a range of attributes about the school's "weather" within the learning environment and beyond. We look at the degree of thriving, engagement, connection, safety, inclusion and more.
3. We also offer a route to student academic outcomes by leading an Academic Committee on ways to create a portrait of a graduate and student cross-curricular competencies that can be embedded or enabled by the current curriculum in place.

FAQ1. How is the climate assessment normed?
It is normed and standardized with a median score of 100 and a 15-point standard deviation following a bell curve typical of psychometric assessments. See the charts on the following pages. 2. What is the history of the development of the assessment? EVS is a well-validated tool, which has been subject to four different validation studies, most recently in 2015. The 2015 re-analysis and norms are based on 6200 individuals. See page 17 for further details. 3. Who has participated in the assessments? The total EVS database includes thousands of responses from students, parents, teachers and administrators from over 100 schools ranging from 100-2000 students, a mix of private, public, religious, and charter schools primarily in the U.S., Canada, and Asia. 4. What is the price of each climate assessment? Surveys are sold in packages of two so schools gauge school improvement. The surveys can be deployed at any time over 24 months. 5. To what degree can the assessment be customized? See page 16 of brochure above for a list of typical additional questions that can be added to the index group of 26 standard questions. 6. How private is the data collected? The survey complies with GDPR and other student and adult privacy laws. Only anonymized and aggregated data is returned to the school and retained by Six Seconds and OESIS. A detailed confidentiality agreement will be provided to schools. 7. How long does it take to set up and complete the survey? The confidential assessment is completed online by all or selected constituents in a school or district.
