"Poor staff performance is not tolerated" (needs to improve) Need more accountability. What’s tolerated will become the norm.

Resources - we are well supplied. No excuse if you think you can’t do it.

Cultural learning - want to learn new ways to teach students….but having time to actually learn it and design / implement. Is there a way to have dedicated time to develop novel lessons? Planning it takes way longer than the actual lesson. Don’t want to do more outside the building until they pay me more.

Community partnerships - need to connect learning to the community more. Create more relevant experiences….”but I don’t know where to go?”

Can we have a skill based class in freshman year? :)

Critique: Kids can’t do 6 periods of PBL and soft skills. Combine classes and projects needed and have one large project period.

A disconnect between teachers feeling like admin takes action on concerns and suggestions.

Communication to students and getting them to see the big ideas and connections to things.

We need to better show that we really do care about the kids. Maybe kids don't see this like we think they do. How do we fix that? We don't want a grade to be associated with teachers caring or not caring about them.

# data[].attributes.body
*only 32% of students feel like their voices are heard by administration
*Knowledge about career choices

# data[].attributes.body
-Increase communication (face to face-posture, handshake, introduce yourself, professional behavior)

-New hires need to learn how to take criticism (& move forward & learn)

-ability to problem solve before asking for help

-lack effective email communication

-Students don't have sustainable jobs prior to coming to their first "job"

-Students need to be involved in more internships, on the job training, part time employment-prior to their first "job"

# data[].attributes.body
-Wondering where the rest of the survey is.
-Needing more explination between 'Often' and 'Almost Often'
-Trends are going down.- Especially in the 'Verys' but not as much in the 'Quite.'
-Most people choose somewhere in the middle in surveys so this reflects an 'average' survey taker.
-Compared to the district/county/state we typically rank very low.
-Teachers have work to do.

Re: "bad" teacher accountability
It's hard to admit to an authority figure if you're struggling

Perception seems to be a big player in this data: 80%+ seem to think they are adapting to student needs, but 54% don't think teachers are being held accountable

Not everyone answers surveys honestly because some people don't want to be negative or give bad results. "Undecided" allows for inaccurate/skewed results, although it can be a "safe" answering option if someone doesn't know how to answer

Why no "ethnicity" section in staff demographics?

A disconnect between how we perceive our students learning and how they perceive their learning.

Celebration that students believe that we don't emphasize state tests

We have high expectations for students

We know our students as students , but not as human beings or their interests

It's a time thing- we don't get as much time to build relationships in the classroom like as coaches and sponsors

Interesting facts-

We recognize bullying, but do we act on it? Bullying is different at SW than other BV schools.

Students do not feel like we KNOW them. What are their interests outside of school? Do we recognize students as humans?

Do students recognize each other for who they are? Not just a grade or a score.

Relevance: Do students recognize the process Vs the Project?

Perhaps parent driven course schedules and career path elude to the lack of student choice?
