Dunlap Community Unit School District # Harris Poll Stakeholder Satisfaction Results

3 Underlying Theory  If you do not measure it, you will not change it  Not all problems are equal. Some have more IMPACT than others  Satisfaction/Motivation are key attitudes which are leading indicators of performance  Attitudes are formed from experience  Identify experiences that relate most to satisfaction *

4 Two Dimensions of Satisfaction  Frequency of problem–you don’t always want to work on the most common problems  Relevance of the problem–is it affecting satisfaction? –Prioritization by highlighting (statistically) the problems which frequently occur and cause dissatisfaction when they do occur –Result is a prioritized list of improvement tasks

5 Harris School Poll Objectives  Measure satisfaction: overall and by specific area  Identify the frequency of specific problems  Statistically define the penalty and impact of problems for each stakeholder group  Establish priorities among opportunities for improvement  Foster data-driven decision making  Provide benchmark, comparative, and tracking data

47 Moving Forward with the Data  Survey questions identify the symptoms of the problems  Statistical analysis (Impact Analysis) calculates the relative IMPACT of the symptoms  Focus groups and other techniques translate the symptom into a defined problem  Task teams define solutions  Measurement tracks and documents success –Do not wait for the next survey –Develop metrics for success in your own building –Communicate improvements to your stakeholders

48 Survey Results  The survey results point out “specific areas” where improvement would lead to increased satisfaction.  There are other areas identified as concerns (high % of respondents reporting problems) that do not impact satisfaction.  It is critical that a building focus on the concerns that will make a difference.  The following steps can be taken to process the data and select high priority areas for improvement… Harris Interactive Inc.

49 As you review your school’s data… Identify issues of concern Group like ideas together – issues that could be solved in tandem Surprises? Confirmation? Look for areas where your school’s “percent of problem” is most different than the overall district “percent of problem” Look for common issues across your stakeholders… solving a problem may impact more than one group Refer to your data tables to look at differences among subgroups Looking at Your Data

50 Planning Next Steps  Document areas of improvement –Are the areas more commonly received from a particular audience (staff, parents, elementary students, or secondary students)? –Are there trends in the types of categories that are consistently lower (i.e. leadership, facilities, etc.)?  Document areas of strength and consider whether or not aspects related to those strengths are changing  Pay closer attention to the "Overall Satisfaction" indicators to gauge how important these individual issues are to stakeholder’s general sense of satisfaction  Document areas where the satisfaction ratings are going against expected norms (i.e. gender differences, ethnicity differences, grade trends)  Relate subgroup ratings to survey counts to ensure accurate interpretations  Examine subgroup trends for possible changes for next year (ex. Turnover of staff and effect on demographics)

51 Planning Next Steps  Tackle each section one at a time –For each section, examine the list of issues and determine which one(s) can be addressed for the coming year –Prioritize the list based on whichever factor your site deems as most important for that issue (percentage of stakeholder affected, magnitude of dissatisfaction, or portion of potential improvement)  Identify trends within individual sections, or more broadly (ex. Is there a discipline issue at the school? A facility issue? A communication issue?)  Prioritize sections in order of importance – is Equipment & Facilities anywhere near as important a section as Curriculum/Training?  Determine how next steps fit into other school improvement plan initiatives  In the back of the binder will be the results by question separated by Students, Teachers/Staff, & Parents  The hard data references the sample size for each individual question, as well as the count responding to entire survey  Use the hard data to add context to issues that were raised to this point
