Evaluation

REA supports collecting, analyzing, and reporting information from students about their experiences at school at several points throughout the year. Specific surveys are listed on our Assessment Calendar. 

More information about and results from the School Climate Student Survey can be found on the Equity and School Climate site.

The Equity and Diversity Impact Assessment, also known as EDIA, is a set of reflective tools and guided processes for schools, departments, and district policy owners to evaluate policies, practices, and budgets with an equity lens that significantly impact student learning and resource allocation. There are four distinct EDIA processes - the Full EDIA, Equity Considerations for Budgeting, Equity Considerations for Policies, and Equity Considerations for Practices. 

More information on the EDIA processes can be found on the EDIA webpage. 

REA staff assist with the curriculum adoption, implementation, and monitoring process at MPS. REA partners with departments to ensure the adoption, implementation, and monitoring processes for all new curriculum are done using high-quality evaluation tools and data analysis to ensure responsible and equity-focused decisions that are based on current research and best practices.
