To award a rank, Learning Counsel staff go beyond the survey responses spend many hours reviewing each applicant’s websites and activities posted online. Analysts also interact with schools and districts to get completed data for final profiles.
Mini-Surveys
Periodically, Learning Counsel launches mini-surveys to assess national interests in emerging topics. During the pandemic, mini-surveys helped establish critical interests to provide focused reports and virtual event discussions.
