SUBJECT:
2026 USBE Educator Engagement Survey Administration
53G-11-304. Educator Exit Survey and USBE board rule R277-325 require that school districts administer the Educator Engagement Survey every other year (last administered in the spring of 2023-24).
The survey will be distributed via Qualtrics by Assessment, Research & Accountability to all licensed school and district educators, which includes classroom teachers, licensed support personnel (i.e., instructional coaches, counselors, speech language pathologists, school psychologists, library media coordinators, etc.), school administrators, and district licensed educators and administrators. The survey opens Monday, March 2nd and closes Tuesday, March 31st. USBE anticipates that the survey will take educators about 20-30 minutes to complete. USBE hopes to gather information about educator’s engagement in education and their perspectives related to the quality of their job experiences. The survey is confidential and the results will be reported in the aggregate.
School and district administrators don’t need to do anything to distribute the survey, but principals and department heads are encouraged to notify their faculty that the survey is coming.
Survey results will be published for each school in this Tableau dashboard after the survey closes.
