Case Studies

My Voice™ has helped these schools find new ways of framing their learning environments – with enriching results. Following is a series of case studies presented by the Pearson Foundation to examine results achieved by schools using the My Voice Sudent and Staff Surveys developed by the Quaglia Institute for Student Aspirations.

  • Captain Albert Stevens School

  • During the 2004–05 academic year, the My Voice Staff Survey was administered at Captain Albert Stevens School (CASS). After merging three schools and staff to create Captain Albert Stevens School, the principal looked to My Voice to help create a unified culture. After reviewing the survey results, school staff introduced new ideas and practices, while others were aimed at improving current practices. Only one year after implementing the program, in the 2005–06 academic year, the My Voice Survey was re-administered at Captain Albert Stevens School. Results of this second survey indicated improvement in key areas that foster staff belonging and positive perceptions of school culture.

Results from the survey indicated remarkable improvement in key areas that foster student success, including students’ sense of accomplishment.
