Teacher School Experience & Support Survey
Captures how teachers experience support, resources, workload, and leadership at their school — using satisfaction ratings, a prioritization exercise, and a budget trade-off — with an AI follow-up that digs into the specific incident behind their lowest-rated area instead of generic complaints. Built for school administrators and HR teams running staff climate surveys.

Q08
AI Interview
Probe the specific reason behind the respondent's lowest-rated area (satisfaction, leadership responsiveness, or the statement they disagreed with most). Ask them to walk through a recent, concrete incident that illustrates the problem, what they wish had happened instead, and what one change from leadership would have the biggest impact. If they rated everything positively, explore what's working well enough that it should be protected or expanded.

Auto report

How it compares
We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.
Why this template
- Uses a targeted AI follow-up interview that automatically probes the specific incident behind each teacher's lowest-rated area, rather than relying on generic open-ended complaints
- Combines a prioritization exercise (max diff) and a 100-point budget trade-off (constant sum) so leadership gets ranked, actionable investment priorities instead of just satisfaction scores
- Pairs a matrix and rating question on leadership responsiveness with an opinion scale and multiple-choice frequency question to triangulate where support is breaking down
- Includes optional demographic questions (tenure, grade level, subject, employment status) with transparent prompts and an auto-generated report, on a free tier or $50/mo Business plan
QuestionPro
School Survey Questions for Teachers + Sample Questionnaire TemplateThis is a guide/blog-style resource offering a curated list of sample teacher survey questions rather than a ready-to-field interactive survey. It covers similar ground (support, resources, satisfaction) but is presented as reference content for building your own survey rather than a deployable instrument. No mention of adaptive follow-up, scoring, or trade-off exercises.
What it does well
- Provides a broad sample question bank covering common teacher experience themes
- Backed by an established survey platform with general survey-building tools
- Useful as a reference/checklist for administrators drafting their own survey
Where it falls short
- Static list of sample questions, not a fielding-ready template with built-in logic
- No adaptive AI follow-up to probe specific incidents behind low ratings
- No automated per-response quality scoring or auto-generated report, and no prioritization/budget trade-off exercise
