  1. School District of Palm Beach County Department of Research, Evaluation, and Assessment in collaboration with the Department of Educational Data Warehouse, Accountability, and School Improvement School Effectiveness Questionnaire Application (SEQ) Designed and developed by: Maria-Alexandra Paladines March 2012

  2. The School Effectiveness Questionnaire (SEQ )Group: • The SEQ application would not be possible without the participation of a group of my peers that in different stages of the project shared their knowledge with me. At specific time their guidance and feedback was required. • I would like to mention Mr. Randy Powell, the department manager who was in charge of the logistics of the SEQ, • Dr. Donghai Xie, a research specialist who assisted with the development of the SEQ, • Mr. Jesus Sandoval, a database administrator who was responsible for downloading and preparing the data, • A group of specialists from the Department of Educational Data Warehouse, Accountability, and School Improvement added their support the project. • And finally Mr. Mark Howard, Director of Research, Evaluation, and Assessment who gave me the responsibility of designing and developing the SEQ application for School District of Palm Beach County (SDPBC).

  3. The SEQ provides data that will: • allow schools to see a comparison of respondents’ perceptions concerning specific categories of school functioning, • provide the opportunity for staff discussions on the perceived strengths and weaknesses in the school, • assist staff in identifying strategies to improve areas of perceived weakness, • provide information to schools, parents, administrators and the public on how they are doing compared to a standard, to themselves, and to others schools.

  4. The School Effectiveness Questionnaire Application (SEQ) is available in teachers/staff, and students versions. Next year parents version will also be available. Beginning in December 2011, the SEQ Application is a compound of reports /graphs that is available through the Educational Data Warehouse (EDW). You can access the application through the EDW portal (http://www.palmbeachschools.org/edw/access.asp) by clicking on ‘New Educational Data Warehouse’ .
