Tools for School Improvement

Tools Collection

Who can use these tools?
Virtually anyone – there may be a school-improvement team that wants to know more about truancy in their school; a teacher who wants to know how parents feel about her recent parent-teacher conferences; or a principal who wants student feedback on an after-school literacy enrichment program.

This tool site is geared toward all of the above. It is for any person or groups of people who want to know more about students, schools, and their communities.
