Dallas ISD’s climate survey shows majority of staff believe their school is headed in the right direction

A climate survey conducted of Dallas ISD staff November 1-16 shows that the majority of teachers and other district employees believe that their schools are heading in the right direction.

More than 10,000 employees responded to the survey, including 78% of district teachers and 67% of all staff members. Staff members were assured that their individual responses would remain anonymous.

“These survey results are encouraging particularly with so many changes since the beginning of the school year,” said Superintendent of Schools Mike Miles. “Our goal is to be supportive of our staff by helping coach and inspire them with the ultimate goal of improving student achievement. Surveys like these willcontinue to be used over time to help us know how we are doing.”

Results show that 86% of staff members who chose to participate in the survey agreethat their campuses base their actions on the district’s core beliefs. In addition:

  • 75% of those who took the survey believe that the key actions that their school is working on this year are focused on what is best for students.
  • 71% of the staff believe their school is headed in the right direction.
  • 70% of staff believe that they work in an environment of support and respect.
  •  69% of staff agree that campus leadership helps them improve the quality ofinstruction.
  •  71% believe they have the support they need from campus leadership to do their job well.
  •   59% of teachers said they have sufficient opportunities and encouragement to develop their leadership potential.

“While the results from this initial survey are encouraging, we cannot and will not ignore that there are still real concerns as well as variances from campus to campus,” said Miles. “One of the areas for improvement includes how discipline is enforced and whether it is consistent and effective at each campus. Nevertheless, to have such a high percentage of positive responses on this initial survey is a strong first step toward reaching the goals in Destination 2020.”
