What to expect after registration
Please allow one week for our team to review and process your HSSSE and/or MGSSE registration. For online surveys, once your registration is processed, the contacts you identified in the registration form will receive an email that includes your school’s survey link along with important administration instructions. Please carefully read through and follow all administration instructions. A separate email with your invoice will be sent to the billing contact you identified in the registration form.
See Administering HSSSE & MGSSE for more information. If you have questions about what happens after registration or administering the surveys, our team is happy to help! Contact us at hssse@iu.edu.
Broader Use: Researchers and Public Schools
CEPR believes HSSSE and MGSSE offer important opportunities for researchers and public schools or districts to better understand how students engage with their peers and adults in schools, their classrooms and learning experiences, and their schools more broadly.
Unlike knowledge-based assessment instruments, HSSSE and MGSSE provide invaluable student engagement data that showcase how schools instill 21st century skills in their students while providing a caring and safe environment that nurtures the whole child.
Researchers and public schools have two ways that they can use HSSSE or MGSSE to better understand students’ engagement:
Work with CEPR to administer surveys
CEPR can work with researchers or public schools and districts to administer HSSSE or MGSSE. As every school’s, district’s, or project’s needs may be different, our HSSSE-MGSSE Team can work with you to discuss possibilities for administering the surveys and providing results and reports.
Costs are determined on a case-by-case basis, depending on the scope of the work.
Conduct your own study
HSSSE or MGSSE can be used "as is", or modified to suit your needs, but in either case you must credit its original source. By using the HSSSE or MGSSE instruments, you must agree to the following:
- Provide CEPR the de-identified data collected to use for additional validity and reliability analysis
- Share with CEPR publications, presentations, evaluation reports, etc. that include data collected and/or results from your use of these instruments.
CEPR will take appropriate measures to maintain the confidentiality of all data.
