Perception Surveys

The Perception Surveys Dashboard is a series of data visualizations for individual EPPs that features new teacher and principal perceptions about preparedness related to six constructs (e.g., Planning, Instruction, Learning Environment, Professional Practices and Responsibilities, Students with Disabilities, and English Language Learners). These perceptions can be seen as a summary, by construct, by question, and, depending on your role, by candidate.
