The Conditions for Learning Survey has been cancelled for the spring of 2020
Iowa Department of Education's Conditions for Learning Student Survey
The Iowa Department of Education has included a Conditions for Learning Student Survey as part of their accountability plan under the new federal education law, Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). All Iowa public school districts will use the Conditions for Learning Student Survey to improve safety, student engagement and the overall learning environment so that all Iowa students have optimum conditions for learning. The purpose of the Survey is to obtain information about how students feel about the culture, climate, and safety of their school.
All public schools in Iowa will use a statewide online Survey to assess conditions for learning for students in grades five through twelve. The Survey is (1) confidential, anonymous, and voluntary, (2) completed annually in the spring, and (3) focuses on issues ranging from student safety, to positive student relationships, to school rules and how they are enforced. The information from the Survey does not provide student-level results [all data are anonymous and aggregated], but does provide aggregated information that may be used by a school building to identify their strengths and weaknesses, and serves as a foundation on which to build an action plan for improving the learning environment for all students.
The full district administration plan including teacher and parent/guardian communications, the parent/guardian opt out, and survey administration recommended practices are located here.
