Since 1991, the Consortium on Chicago School Research has regularly surveyed Chicago public school principals, teachers, and students to learn their views on and experiences in the public schools. The surveys ask about learning climate, student-teacher relationships, leadership and quality of the school's instructional program. They also ask about the school's professional environment and the nature of the school's relationships with parents and the community. Starting with the 2001 survey, questions about education technology have also been included. This Consortium web page links to the surveys and the school quality measures developed from them.
