Highfive’s Dynamic Needs Assessment (DNA) gathers input to understand your educators, students, and families.
The assessment provides strengths and weaknesses to target your school’s immediate needs across multiple areas related to culture, belonging, safety, and community well-being.
An assessment that actually understands your school community’s culture. We've created quick questions for students, teachers, and school leaders to reflect. With this data, our research-backed approach provides tailored strategies for strengthening your school community.
Our DNA provides rich school or district data to help make important and informed decisions about social-emotional health and behavioral well-being in school communities as a whole.
The DNA is recommended to be taken twice a year. Change takes time. A survey conducted each semester helps gather timely feedback on new changes and initiatives to show impact.
Highfive helps you identify priorities and develop action plans to build a school and district culture. Let Highfive take important and often overlooked analytics to the next level!
We have an ethical standard to safeguard your information. No identifying information is given. The privacy of your school and its members is extremely important to us.
