We are very dedicated to this market and to anyone devoting attention to helping learners at every level; in fact, we offer <a title=\"Sogolytics\u2019s Academic License\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sogolytics.com\/blog\/back-to-school-teacher-discounts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">significant discounts for teachers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"div-minispacer\"><\/div>\n<p>We have used all that experience in serving this market to make life even easier for busy teachers and school administrators, who rarely have time to delve into survey design.<\/p>\n<div class=\"div-minispacer\"><\/div>\n<p>For example, we created <a title=\"School Climate and Culture Survey\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sogolytics.com\/survey-templates\/school-climate-survey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">thoughtful, field-tested sample surveys<\/a> that are a jump start for conducting high quality surveys quickly \u2013 saving you time and ensuring you don\u2019t forget to ask an \u201cobvious\u201d question (that you think of only after you deploy the survey). You can use these pre-created surveys as-is, or edit the samples to meet your unique needs. Among them:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bullying Incident Report<\/li>\n<li>High School Student Engagement Survey<\/li>\n<li>Instructional Technology Needs Assessment<\/li>\n<li>Middle\/High School Safe Schools Survey<\/li>\n<li>New Teacher Mentoring Survey<\/li>\n<li>Parent Climate Survey<\/li>\n<li>Parent Safe Schools Survey<\/li>\n<li>Professional Development Needs Assessment<\/li>\n<li>Staff Exit Survey<\/li>\n<li>Staff Safe Schools Survey<\/li>\n<li>Staff Wellness Survey<\/li>\n<li>Student Climate Survey<\/li>\n<li>Student Safe Schools Survey<\/li>\n<li>Teacher Climate Survey<\/li>\n<li>Teacher Engagement Survey<\/li>\n<li>Teacher Professional Development Survey<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Having those standardized surveys is especially useful for those who manage educational districts. For example, you can look at an individual school\u2019s results (how engaged are the students in this school?) and compare them across the district. Plenty of tools built into Sogolytics let you measure and contrast results, such as <a title=\"Filter Your Survey Data for Added Insight\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sogolytics.com\/blog\/filter-your-survey-data-for-added-insight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">filtering data<\/a> or <a title=\"Cross-Tabulating Survey Data to Increase Your Rate of \u201cAha!\u201d and \u201cOh Wow!\u201d\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sogolytics.com\/blog\/cross-tabulating-survey-data-to-increase-your-rate-of-aha-and-oh-wow\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">discovering unexpected correlations<\/a> or looking at year-over-year reporting. You don\u2019t have to be a research expert to get expert results: In-depth reporting is accomplished with a point and click interface. Unlike other online survey tools, there is no need to export to Excel and then work on charts and graphs on your own.<\/p>\n<div class=\"div-minispacer\"><\/div>\n<p>K-12 organizations certainly can appreciate Sogolytics\u2019s ability to <a title=\"How Data Pre-Population Can Improve Your Surveys\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sogolytics.com\/blog\/how-data-pre-population-can-improve-your-surveys\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pre-populate surveys with known data<\/a>, which improves accuracy and <a title=\"Keeping Surveys Short \u2013 But Not TOO Short\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sogolytics.com\/blog\/keeping-surveys-short-but-not-too-short\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">keeps surveys short<\/a>. In addition, school administrators (local or regional) need to <a title=\"How to Improve Customer Service Using Sogolytics\u2019s Rules and Alerts Feature\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sogolytics.com\/blog\/how-to-improve-customer-service-using-sogosurveys-rules-and-alerts-feature\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">respond as soon as possible<\/a> when an incident arises, such as a report of bullying; that, too, is built into Sogolytics. So is <a title=\"When to Make a Survey Anonymous\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sogolytics.com\/blog\/when-to-make-a-survey-anonymous\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">true anonymity<\/a>, wherein you can assure people no one is tracking who-wrote-this, which is important when you want genuine answers from students or teachers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"div-minispacer\"><\/div>\n<p>In addition, Sogolytics is an affordable three-in-one tool, providing surveys, quizzes, and online forms. Many schools buy three distinct applications to meet their needs \u2013 and then need to take the time to learn how to each one.<\/p>\n<div class=\"div-minispacer\"><\/div>\n<p>We\u2019re really proud of what we\u2019ve built for the K-12 market.
