Leaders Trust Tripod
Easy, Targeted Support
Survey responses are analyzed at the classroom-level, and presented in user-friendly, online reports designed for teachers, school leaders, and district personnel. Reports highlight areas of strength and opportunities for improvement for each teacher, so teachers and leaders can quickly gauge where to focus attention.
Rooted in Educational Equity
Tripod surveys were first administered as part of a school-based initiative focused on raising achievement for all students while reducing the achievement gap. Tripod surveys include measures to capture student perceptions of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Validated by Research
Tripod is a Tier 1 - strong evidence-based intervention. In fact, many research studies have highlighted the reliability and validity of data collected with Tripod surveys, including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s Measure of Effective Teaching (MET) Project, which used Tripod surveys as one of its key metrics with more than 3,000 teachers.
Benchmarked
Tripod surveys reflect millions of student responses across nearly a quarter of a million classrooms to benchmark and calibrate results.

NOT JUST A SURVEY
Tied to Better Outcomes
Better results on the 7Cs components are correlated with higher student achievement, engagement and motivation, as well as happiness and college aspirations (Ferguson & Danielson, 2014; Ferguson et al., 2015; Kane & Cantrell, 2010; Kane et al., 2013; Stuit, Ferguson, & Phillips, 2013).
Actionable at the Classroom Level
Strategic use of the 7Cs, together with the 7Cs framework, offers a streamlined way to provide actionable, consistent feedback for teachers and school leaders. The 7Cs supports reflection, goal-setting, professional learning, and instructional improvement.
Evidence Based
Tripod’s 7Cs framework for effective teaching captures essential elements of instructional practice. In fact, research published on the 7Cs demonstrates that it is a Tier 1 level, strong evidence-based resource - supported by one or more well-designed and well-implemented randomized control experimental studies.
