Center for Educational Effectiveness presents Perceptual-survey findings; district plans building-level follow-up
Summary
A CEE consultant reported that Prosser students, staff and families generally reported high standards and positive student agency; the district will have building-level follow-ups and align survey results with school improvement plans.
A consultant from the Center for Educational Effectiveness told the Prosser School District board that staff, student and family survey results show agreement that the district is communicating high standards and expectations, and that students report strong agency measures such as perseverance and self-regulation.
Eric Bowles, who led the CEE presentation, told trustees that the organization measures multiple “characteristics” across staff, students and families rather than only focusing on achievement data. He said the district’s staff responses were largely positive in “effective leadership” and “high standards and expectations,” and that students reported high scores on measures of their own agency.
Bowles said CEE uses a five-point scale and looks for neutral responses as a promising place to make change. He described a practice he called SEE — what stakeholders should See, Hear and Experience — to help administrators turn perceptual survey findings into actionable improvements.
Bowles and district staff said the next step will be building-level meetings with the CEE representative to drill down into school-specific data. Administration will then crosswalk the survey results with the district strategic plan and each school’s improvement plan to identify low-effort, high-impact next steps.
Board members asked how the district will translate survey items into concrete actions. Bowles said his team will work with building leaders to identify levered changes — for example, simple communication or program marketing tweaks — that increase families’ and students’ understanding of available programs such as CTE or counseling supports.
No formal board action was required; trustees accepted the presentation and agreed to scheduled follow-up work that will include building-level data sessions this spring.
