Survey Overview
We understand teachers are dedicated to supporting student success and continually improving their instructional practice. However, often the data available to guide that improvement lacks direct feedback from students.
New York City Public Schools (NYCPS) partners with Panorama Education to administer the Student Perception Survey, a confidential, research-based, and anonymous student survey used nationwide to provide teachers with valuable feedback from students about their classroom experiences.
The Student Perception Survey is for formative purposes only, and is NOT part of Advance, New York City’s teacher development and evaluation system.
2026-27 Student Perception Survey Administration
The 2026-27 Student Perception Survey will take place from December 7, 2026 to January 22, 2027.
Survey Coordinators are invited to join a virtual training hosted by the Survey Initiatives Team to prepare for this year’s Student Perception Survey. Each 90-minute session will include 60 minutes of survey administration training, followed by 30 minutes of ESR Response Rate Dashboard training led by Panorama Education (PE).

- Important survey reminders and updates
