scope of work
The Ahart Index
With the Ahart Index, you can conduct unlimited staff, parent, and student surveys throughout the school year, selecting from our comprehensive 30-item indices or customizing surveys to address specific areas like teacher attrition, family retention, and student motivation, all supported by comparison data from over 10,000 respondents per survey. Each survey is designed to target critical areas of need, ensuring actionable insights for improving school outcomes.
Collective Efficacy Survey
Ahart offers a Collective Efficacy Survey that evaluates staff perceptions of empowerment, reflective practices, cohesive knowledge, goal consensus, and autonomy-supportive leadership. Research by John Hattie (2016) shows that collective efficacy is the strongest influence on student achievement. Compare your results to the Ahart Average for valuable context on your staff's scores.
Virtuous Motivation Survey
Discover the power of our Virtuous Motivation Survey, a cutting-edge tool designed to assess and track students' character development over time. Using a pre- and post-test model, we provide clear insights into how your students grow in character, offering valuable data that goes beyond academic performance. These results empower parents with a deeper understanding of your school's impact, while also helping you evaluate and refine your character education initiatives. Leverage this data to strengthen grant applications, support accreditation processes, and enhance renewal efforts, ensuring your school's success on every front.
