Copyright © The Center for Educational Effectiveness, All Rights Reserved. EES Parent 2-way Comparison While most schools focus on the outcomes they are reaching for, truly successful schools focus on organizational effectiveness and the programs and systems that drive and sustain improvement in the outcomes. The Educational Effectiveness Survey (EES), was developed to assist schools in continuous, sustainable improvement by helping schools understand their strengths and challenges in the areas known to impact the effectiveness of a school. While there is no single solution for all schools, research on effective schools has identified common characteristics of high performing schools (Marzano, 2003). Successful schools and schools engaged in improvement focus on these characteristics to create and improve the system(s) that drive the outcomes. To help schools identify and leverage these drivers and focus on what makes a school successful, the EES quantifies these characteristics. This results report contains a summary of the information your parent community provided on the EES survey form. CHARACTERISTICS OF HIGH PERFORMING SCHOOLS: Clear and Shared Focus High Standards and Expectations Effective School Leadership Supportive Learning Environment High Levels of Community and Parent Involvement High Levels of Collaboration and Communication Frequent Monitoring of Teaching and Learning Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment Aligned with Standards (Note: Focused Professional Development is one of the Nine Characteristics of High Performing Schools not measured in the EES Parent Survey)
