Listening Well and Insights for Change
Overview
Student experiences–as measured by factors such as academic challenge, culture, and relationships–are variously predictive of ninth-grade retention, reading proficiency, math proficiency, absenteeism, and suspension rates.
Former Executive Director of YouthTruth, Jen Vorse Wilka, in collaboration with the Fund for Shared Insight, authored a piece entitled Listening and Learning from Student Feedback. This article explored the relationship between student experiences–as measured by factors such as academic challenge, culture, and relationships–and how they are variously predictive of ninth-grade retention, reading proficiency, math proficiency, absenteeism, and suspension rates. For many years YouthTruth has partnered with The Fund for Shared Insight, demonstrating how when philanthropy and the social sector integrate high-quality feedback into their work, it leads to better outcomes for the communities they seek to serve.
