The Minneapolis Public Schools is asking each school to administer the 5Essential survey to its students and teachers.
The 5Essential survey which is a survey developed by the University of Chicago’s consortium on school research is a researched based diagnostic tool that reliably identifies schools’ strengths and weaknesses. This survey will ask students and teachers about their experiences in school. It is felt that having direct information from students and teachers is critical for developing plans to improve schools.
Please note that the survey takes 30 minutes or less to take and will be given to all students on February 5, 6, 7, or 14th at the Upper Campus. The teachers at the Upper Campus will take the survey on February 27th.
