WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT
The SALT Survey is administered annually to parents, students,
and teachers.
Some of the survey responses are used to calculate the
learning-support
indicators for each school. The SALT Survey Student Findings
tables show information from the student
surveys only. They show the responses to six of the questions on the
survey;
three of these questions were used to help calculate the School
Climate Learning
Support Indicator. The tables are ranked by the responses in the
first column; the school at the top
of the list has the highest percentage of students who reported
“that they can talk
to a teacher or other staff member about personal or family problems
most of the
time or always.” WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR
One of the emphases in the High School Reform Regulations adopted
in 2003 by
the Board of Regents is on “personalization.” All high schools, and
by extension
all schools in the state, are expected to strive to create “more
personalized
learning environments.” One of the goals set forth by the Regents is
that each
student should be known by at least one adult in the school
building. These tables show how much progress each of our
secondary schools has made
along that path. The numbers in the two left-hand columns should be
high—100
percent would be ideal. The four right-hand columns show whether
students have problems getting along
with teachers and with other students and the extent to which
students see their
schools as safe and drug-free. The numbers in these columns should
be low—0
percent would be ideal.
