The
Common Instrument
Suite - Educator (CIS-E)
Capturing key information about who is leading your STEM programming, the support they're receiving, and their perceived efficacy.
What Makes the CIS-E Unique
Educator Voice
The CIS-E centers educator perspectives by asking STEM educators directly about their own perceptions of support and efficacy in delivering STEM content.
Fast Turnaround
Results are processed in real time, giving educators, program leaders, and decision makers immediate access to actionable data.
Holistic Data Collection
CIS-E data can be used by itself or in conjunction with CIS-S and/or Dimensions of Success data to create a holistic picture of the quality and impact of your programming.
Differentiated Learning
CIS-S data empowers educators and program facilitators to tailor programming and curricula to meet the diverse needs of individual STEM learners.
