Foster Positive Learning Communities for Your Students
Build a truly equitable school climate by uncovering opportunity gaps

Why Ceres Unified School District is Partnering with Hanover Research
“Over the last year or so, we’ve shifted our mindset from looking at teacher professional development as a one-way process to an actual learning process. Then March happened, and we went into crisis mode to help our teachers through our online platforms. We were able to provide some digital learning resources for teachers over the last few months, but as we started to prep for summer, we started to think about what we normally provide for our teachers, and how we can incentivize them to participate in professional learning and provide feedback.”
– Dr. Amy Peterman, Assistant Superintendent Educational Services
New Albany-Plain Local School District Assesses Students’ Social-Emotional Competencies
“We have really appreciated our partnership with Hanover, particularly in being able to do longitudinal work—we like being able to look at work from years ago to see school improvement shown through data-driven insights. The survey team has given us solid research that we can lean on to make informed decisions driven by what our community is showing and saying; we plan to use these survey results to see how we can best support our students in their social-emotional learning. We’ve done substance use, SEL, and staff climate surveys with Hanover, and have found that our partnership helps us be better at what we do.”

Lake Forest Academy Creates Educational Outcome Index to Track Student Performance
“We have a mission to cultivate and embody our four pillars. There are some areas where we have identifiable performance metrics, like a student’s GPA, how many AP classes they are taking, etc.—but there was a call to find tangible metrics to demonstrate growth over time for areas like Character and Citizenship. Hanover’s survey instrument provided a subsection of questions and topics for each pillar, so being able to break down from the macro view to look at detailed insights let us examine if we were doing anything differently that led to our success, or if our students have a greater awareness of the things around them.”
– Chris Tennyson, Assistant Head of School, Dean of Students & Academic Affairs, and Mathematics Teacher
