| Abstract | Research has begun to show that certain schoolwide characteristics--such as student-centered learning environments, leadership, and safety--can be important for improving student outcomes. In keeping with these insights, school improvement efforts around the country are becoming less narrowly focused on the performance of individual students and teachers and more focused on enhancing key aspects of the overall school learning environment. Many districts are attempting to measure these aspects of school climate using surveys of students, parents, and teachers. The New York City Department of Education (NYC DOE) was an early adopter of this general approach, launching its School Survey in 2006. Each year since then, the NYC DOE has distributed the Survey to all students in grades 6-12, as well as all teachers and parents throughout the district. In 2014, new City and district leadership sought to undertake a comprehensive redesign of the Survey, focused on measuring the aspects of school climate and capacity that research had shown to be important for improving student achievement. Building on a pre-existing collaboration, the Research Alliance worked closely with the NYC DOE to help develop its "Framework for Great Schools" and to redesign the School Survey, with the goal of capturing information about the Framework's key elements. Research Alliance analyses suggest that this effort has resulted in a much stronger, more reliable Survey. The highly collaborative (and still ongoing) process has also demonstrated how a solid research-practice partnership can inform school district decisions and create useful measurement tools for the field. This brief shares lessons learned to date and highlights questions that remain about developing school surveys and using their results to inform research, policy, and practice.
