This survey has been designed to serve as a resource for schools in assessing the quality of the work of students across the curriculum. The NSSE, working together with the Alliance for Curriculum Reform , conducted a comprehensive review of the content area expectations for student learning defined by each of the national curriculum associations. Part 1 of the survey helps schools assess the extent to which students are achieving these goals for their learning. In Part 2 of the survey, the respondents are asked to determine the level of priority for improvement that should be assigned to each goal.
Schools can further customize the survey by including additional goals on the survey.
Included with the survey are a comprehensive set of rubrics for the six schoolwide goals for student learning listed above. The rubrics provide a description of a continuum of levels of students' achievement of each of the goals. Scoring and analysis services are available upon request. The analysis of the survey responses includes a comprehensive statistical profile and a graphic overview of the survey results.
