Gathering information about school culture audit can be done by asking questions and observation.  School culture is different than school climate because school culture reflects deeper beliefs and attitudes which are associated with decision-making and institutional values which aren’t necessarily found in a survey of school climate.  Anchorage School District surveys its teachers, students, and families each year with their Climate and Connectedness Survey.  The results of this survey can be requested from the ASD Assessment department.  The template provided here is meant to help teachers and student-teachers collect information on school culture.
