Perceptions

Perceptions Summary

2019-2020 Data:

The EOY Panorama survey was not administered to parents due to COVID 19. Instead, they took a survey on the effectiveness of distance learning for the last 9 weeks of the school year.

2018-2019 Data:

The Panorama survey was administered to VOE staff, students, and parents in the spring of 2019. On the teacher summary, there was a 3% decrease in the area of student mindset. All other topics showed an increase of at least 7%. The lowest score is in Feedback and Coaching at 59%. However, this is an increase of 18% since the last survey. The parent survey showed a decrease in the areas of Barriers to Engagement (1%), Nutrition (7%), and School Safety (1%). All other areas showed an increase since the last school year. The 3rd-5th students also took the Panorama survey. There was a 2% decrease in Student Belonging. When looking at the specific questions, the students reported that only 59% felt respected by their peers. School Rigorous Expectations continues to increase. We were up another 5% compared to the last survey.

2017-2018 Data:

The Panorama survey was administered to VOE staff, students, and parents in the spring of 2018. Overall, survey results from teachers who responded to the survey were positive. All of the teachers indicated that they would recommend Valley Oaks Elementary School to friends or colleagues looking for a teaching position. Survey results show that teachers have favorable views about faculty growth mindset, educating all students, student mindset, and teaching efficacy. Survey results also show that there are opportunities for addressing feedback and coaching. Teachers were less favorable about the amount and frequency of feedback they receive at work. Additional opportunities include improving professional learning for teachers as they were less favorable about the value of the professional development that was available.

Perceptions Strengths

Staff-Leadership relationships has a score of 99%. Core Values is at 96% and School Climate is at 93%.

Problem Statements Identifying Perceptions Needs

Problem Statement 1: Teachers are not given enough feedback on their teaching. Root Cause: Administrators are often busy with things and are not in classrooms observing and providing specific feedback.
