LEAP Learner Engagement Survey
A 15-minute, research-validated survey that captures what students experience at the classroom level, so leaders can strengthen learning design, instructional coherence, and the conditions that drive engagement, belonging and future-ready outcomes.
Across schools and districts, educators are working to create more engaging learning experiences, stronger instructional models, and clearer visions of student success.
LEAP’s survey uses student voice data to highlight where students feel belonging, agency, rigor, support, and relevance, so that leaders can see how students experience learning and where they can unlock greater impact.
Student Experience
Surface how students experience belonging, agency, rigor, and relevance in day-to-day learning. Use these insights to amplify practices that are working and focus improvement where students need more support.
Teacher Practice
Pair student feedback with educator reflection to clarify which instructional strategies are most effective, and where targeted coaching or professional learning can strengthen implementation.
System Coherence
Translate classroom-level insights into clear problems of practice that inform professional learning, school improvement plans, leadership decisions, and resource alignment. Quick results offer the opportunity to monitor impact of your initiatives over time or gather a snapshot of the student experience to guide real-time planning.
