Student Educational Equity Development Survey (SEED)

Overview

The Student Educational Equity Development Survey (SEED) will help the Oregon Department of Education gather information about the educational experiences of students in Oregon. This information will help ODE to develop appropriate resources and supports for districts in Oregon, and better target those resources and supports where they are most needed. The SEED Survey will also help ODE better interpret information we are already gathering through statewide testing.


SEED Survey information may also help districts develop a fuller picture of their local contexts and make strategic modifications to curriculum, instruction, and para-academic supports that they offer students.

Resources to support districts in preparing parents, students, and staff for SEED Survey administration. To access the SEED Survey Administration Manual, Annual Notices, and Participation Forms, please see the Test Administration webpage.

ODE also provides a Summer SEED Survey which is an optional student perception survey designed to help leaders better understand students' experiences in summer programs. Find more information about the Summer SEED Survey on the Summer Learning webpage under the Summer Learning Best Practices Guide and Toolkit.
