Over the past three years, we have witnessed how student surveys can support school communities in expanding their definition of student success. But general survey reports can only provide a snapshot of the big picture. In this session, participants will explore student survey data sets across demographics, access focus group protocols to make meaning of student perceptions of their learning experiences, and review research connections to academic outcomes.
