Every community invests significant time, talent, and resources in helping students thrive. The impact of those efforts also depends on the operating system that supports daily operations, strategic priorities, and every improvement effort.
Persistent NAEP results remind us that, despite extraordinary effort and pockets of success, we have not yet achieved our aspirations for students at scale.
The K–12 Operating System Health Survey is designed to help communities develop a shared understanding of how stakeholders experience the organizational conditions that enable them to work together in service of students and the adults who support them.
The survey results provide communities a shared view of how stakeholders experience the organizational conditions that support their work. They reveal where perspectives align, where they differ, and where greater clarity, coordination, and coherence may be needed. The broader the participation across stakeholder groups, the richer and more useful that shared view becomes.
That shared insight can help leaders and communities get on the same page, go deeper in understanding what may be enabling or limiting their collective efforts, and focus conversations and decisions on strengthening the operating system that supports daily operations, strategic priorities, and every improvement effort.
The inaugural administration also marks the beginning of a long-term learning effort to help communities build the capability to function as more coordinated and coherent operating systems, enabling them to more consistently achieve the outcomes they aspire to for every student.

Founding Learning Partners are organizations interested in using survey findings to strengthen and advance their current work. They encourage broad participation across the communities they serve to develop deeper insights, establish an initial baseline, and advance broader conversations about their operating systems. They also share an interest in learning alongside other Founding Learning Partners as insights and practices emerge.
Participation provides shared insight that can help leaders and communities get on the same page, go deeper in understanding stakeholder experiences, and focus conversations on where greater alignment, coordination, and coherence may strengthen their work.
Participating organizations will receive:

Explore the beliefs about students, adults, human connection, and learning environments that guide the work.
Explore how leaders begin building a deeper understanding of their operating systems.
See how communities can move from learning about the operating system to actively modernizing it.
The inaugural national administration is anticipated for mid-October 2026, with the survey expected to remain open for approximately three weeks.
Approximately 15–20 minutes for most respondents, depending on role and assigned questions.
Individual responses will not be shared with employers, school districts, participating organizations, or other respondents in identifiable form.
If supporting this effort aligns with your organization’s current priorities, I’d welcome the opportunity to share the draft survey, Participation Guide, and additional information and answer any questions you may have.
