Alberta Education Accountability Pillar Surveys
As an annual check-up on the education system, the Accountability Pillar provides an opportunity for Alberta Education and school authorities to ensure that we are equipping students for success.
The Accountability Pillar uses a set of 16 indicators. Data on these indicators consists of surveys of students, parents and teachers on various aspects of education quality, student outcomes such as dropout and high school completion rates, and provincial assessments of student learning.
From January to the end of February, Alberta Education will be conducting the annual Accountability Pillar Survey.
- In January, St. John XXIII parents of students in grades 4 will receive a survey from Alberta Education in the mail.
- In addition, students in grades 4, and all teachers, will be completing their surveys online at school.
All surveys are anonymous and ask questions about experiences with your school.
If you receive a survey in the mail - please complete it, as your participation in the survey helps provide important information on the quality of education your child is receiving, so we encourage you to return your survey promptly. All surveys must be in by February 23, 2018.
