Educational Vital Signs (EVS)

EVS is a survey that measures the "school climate". It provides feedback from different constituents about how it feels to be in the school. It measures the drivers and performance outcomes at a specific point in time, providing useful insight to develop a social emotional learning strategy to improve the positive impact of the learning experience. 

EVS is a Model and a tool part of our Education Vital Signs Program. 

It is based on a School Climate Survey which releases results on 5 Drivers (Trust, Commitment, Growth, Connection and Accountability) and 4 Outcomes (Learning, Safety, Involvement and Thriving).
