Providing real-time perspectives.
A resounding request has been to collect and curate data more relevant to our association of schools. This is a project we are committed to in the short and long term. In a fast-paced, dynamic environment, one avenue we are pursuing is deploying pulse surveys with various types of school leaders throughout the year. On a monthly basis, SAIS reports out on the real-time perspectives representing the voices in our association.
We solicited feedback from SAIS academic & division leadership in November to complete a pulse survey focused on leadership approaches, challenges, and priorities.
We solicited feedback from SAIS ed tech professionals in October to complete a pulse survey focused on technology challenges and priorities.
We solicited feedback from heads of school and enrollment management professionals in September to complete a pulse survey focused on personnel and enrollment.
We solicited business office leaders in August to complete a pulse survey focused on the following areas: size of finance department, financial health, financial goals, capital projects, endowment, debt service coverage ratio, and financial risks.
We sent pulse surveys to SAIS heads, school counselors, and fundraising professionals during the spring 2024 term.
