Nationally Recognized Surveys

Tripod Education works with educators worldwide to deliver surveys and analytics for student, teacher and family perspectives, facilitating better decision-making and professional development.

Tripod's nationally recognized surveys were first developed in 2001 by Dr. Ronald F. Ferguson of Harvard University with educators in Ohio. Now in their 18th generation, the refinement of Tripod® surveys has always been informed by a combination of research, field experience, and input from key school community members
