Staff Development for the Harbor City High School

Twenty-four staff members completed and turned in their surveys. Five staff members choose all fives on their evaluations. None of the surveys were marked will all ones. This survey does not reflect the entire faculty. Many staff were absent because they were attending other trainings.

The survey indicated positive feedback for both team membership and communications. However, decision making and risk taking received a negative rating. This indicated few members felt that they could influence decisions and that risk taking was not encouraged.

Other survey items that received a close division of high and low ratings were: distribution of leadership & resources, conflict management, support, goals, and team purpose. In my opinion, these areas need to be closely monitored to produce a more effective staff.

A personal observation: if the five, abnormally high rated, surveys were voided, the data would reflect a more realistic picture of the school’s effectiveness.

Data and surveys are available for examination and evaluation.

Your response and feedback would be welcomed.
