The SRC has completed a multitude of different education surveys. We strive to better educational experiences for students, teachers, administrations, families and communities. Below are some topics we have completed surveys on:
Assessing Online Learning Methods in Wisconsin During the COVID-19 Pandemic: July 2021
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Wisconsin educational experiences of students in pre-k to grade 12 moved to remote learning. Parents and teachers had to adjust and anecdotal evidence suggests that some instructional methods might have worked better for children in different grades and from different socio-demographic backgrounds. The intent of the research that is the focus of this report was to gather preliminary data that would allow us to see if any of these anecdotes are supported statistically.
