It gave us a clear description of a variety of things we did not know and contributed to some of the strategic decisions that were being made.”

The Teacher Workplace Survey is available to schools in the third term.
We are offering a reduced price to schools who buy both the Me and My School survey and our Teacher Workplace Survey, during the third term.
A school’s most valuable resource
There is increasing evidence that the way schools are organised and run has an impact on teacher retention and on effective teaching. The research tells us that important workplace factors include safety, an atmosphere of trust, a staff who share high expectations for all students, and effective school leadership. NZCER has developed the Teacher Workplace Survey tool to allow school leaders to better understand what teachers think about their work and their working environment. Such surveys are commonplace in other workplaces—this one is purpose-built for schools.
NZCER provides a range of detailed reporting from the Teacher Workplace Survey data.
The Survey is available for use throughout the whole year.
