Due to Teach For Armenia ’ s focus on student leadership , we also believe that it is crucial that we measure our impact through student voice . Given this , twice a year we take part in the Panorama Global Survey administered by Teach For All . The survey is a set of questions measuring seven dimensions of teacher effectiveness . Research conducted by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation through the “ Measures of Effective Teaching Project ” found that student perception surveys can play an important role in predicting student achievement at the end of the year . In short , the study found that students who feel appreciated and engaged achieve greater gains with their teachers than in classrooms where teachers receive lower scores from their students .

For that reason , the spirit of the Panorama Student Survey is at the heart of our Kochari : listening to the thoughts and feelings of our students . Every semester , we use the results of the Panorama to determine where our Teacher-Leaders are performing the strongest in regard to student engagement while identifying areas for growth in our training and support . Our coaches , also known as Leadership Development Managers , use the data from the survey in order to have conversations with their Teacher-Leaders about how to build a strong classroom culture where students feel valued and affirmed . Consistently , Teach For Armenia ’ s results from the Panorama Survey are among the highest in the Teach For All network . Last year , our classrooms saw the highest scores for developing an engaging learning environment , with 93 % of students answering favorably . Meanwhile , 90 % of our students indicated that they feel as though our Teacher-Leaders hold rigorous expectations AND our students perceive that they are fully internalizing the content .
