Results of our student surveys reveal that half of students put forth effort but rarely or never find school interesting or enjoyable. On top of that, 75% of students report exhaustion, difficulty sleeping, and headaches because of stress. Many educators like you want to change this experience for students to better balance their well-being and belonging with academics – but how?

Connection is fundamental

One way to increase engagement is intentionally building student-teacher relationships ([link removed]) . For example, on a recent visit to Los Angeles College Prep Academy ([link removed]) , our Director of Programs interviewed students and learned that they had higher levels of engagement in learning at this school than in schools they have previously attended. When asked why, many shared it was due to their relationships with teachers and the teachers’ beliefs in their abilities to be successful. Here’s what one of their students had to say:

A powerful combo: Quantitative + qualitative data

Are you curious about students’ perceptions of teacher care and support in your school? Our survey ([link removed]) sheds light on how students feel about their school community, including:
* The extent to which teachers care if they come to school
* The extent to which teachers believe that every student can be successful
* The extent to which teachers think making mistakes is ok

One of the most effective ways to deepen your understanding of the student experience is to pair a Challenge Success Student Survey with a “fishbowl” focus group ([link removed]) for invaluable qualitative data. This dual-approach can help your team make sense of data, surface root causes, and jumpstart action.
