Coalition of Essential Schools Research and Data-Based Inquiry

The Coalition of Essential Schools has been documenting the process and outcomes of school reform since its inception over 20 years ago. In a true learning community, inquiry is everybody’s work. Teaching, learning, community involvement, leadership, organizational management and change, professional growth – all take place in a continual dynamic of asking good questions and finding evidence that can guide a school’s actions. Essential Analysis provides schools with the tools to ask the right questions and engage in a process of meaningful data-based inquiry that can be used to drive school improvement efforts.

On this site you will have the ability to take and analyze surveys on-line, to post your own survey or use one already created, to administer surveys to students, teachers, and parents. We also provide you with tools to engage in the cycle of data-based inquiry, to take the results from your surveys and use those results to drive your school improvement.

If you have any questions or comments please contact Jay Feldman at jfeldman@essentialschools.org.
