 Understanding Your Tripod Survey Results: Teacher Report

Tripod student surveys collect student perceptions to support and improve teaching and learning. Surveys
include multiple components like Tripods 7Cs teaching practices and student engagement measures.

7Cs results are presented using a scaled score between 202-398, which is based on your score relative to
other teachers. A score of 300 represents the midpoint of scores in your comparison cohort, and the
majority of teachers score in the range of 271 to 329.
