23. Student achievement vs Cleanliness Cleanliness and learning in Higher Education: April 2008 Jeffery Campbell Ph. D, Brigham Young and APPA

24. Clean Facilities Research • There are 5 levels of APPA Cleanliness so a baseline was put into place, which is recommended for any type of measurement. • Level One – Orderly Spotlessness • Level Two – Ordinary Tidiness • Level Three – Casual Inattention • Level Four – Moderate Dinginess • Level Five – Pig Pen and Nasty Cleanliness and learning in Higher Education: April 2008 Jeffery Campbell Ph. D, Brigham Young and APPA

25. Clean Facilities Research Research Conclusion: • 84% said they absolutely prefer a level 1 or 2 to create a good education environment and 80% said cleanliness affected their achievement levels. • Facility Cleanliness is ranked as the 4th student concern. The top 3 were noise, lighting, and air temperature. • Students also acknowledged that personal health was linked to a clean building Cleanliness and learning in Higher Education: April 2008 Jeffery Campbell Ph.
