Getting You the Information You Need
Step 1: Choose and Order Your Survey
Once you’ve decided on a survey and how many people will take it, let us know and we’ll send your surveys out to you. We recommend surveying as many individuals as possible, but if that’s not feasible, we can help you find a representative sample.
If you’re not sure which survey to order, let us know and one of the survey services staff will assist you in choosing the survey that best fits your needs.
Step 2: Receive and Administer Your Survey
After completing your order, you’ll receive the surveys and an administration manual by mail. Your designated survey coordinator can then administer the survey to your students.
Step 3: Submit Your Surveys
After your surveys have been completed, send them back to us and we’ll compile and analyze the results and prepare a detailed report of the findings as well as an executive summary.
Step 4: Receive Your Results and Take Action
Once your report is ready, we’ll send it to you (you can expect to receive it approximately eight weeks after you submit your surveys). Now you’re ready to share your findings and take action to celebrate your successes and address any of the deficits that you discover. Search Institute offers a multitude of trainings that can help you improve upon the baseline that you’ve established (see our Training & Speaking page for details). We’d love to help you find other Search Institute resources to help further your goals, including connections to other communities doing great work.
