Know, Empower, Improve Your Culture
When facing the ever-evolving arena of student and residential life, it can feel more like firefighting than programming. However, educators can improve their communities and schools strategically by exercising responsiveness in a collaborative process. This isn't another exhausting and expensive survey. Using a cycle of surveying, analyzing, discussing, sharing, and acting, you can empower your students and staff while creating a culture of honesty, ownership, and critical thinking.
