    From Survey Results to Real Growth
    Mar 30 2026

    Improvement is a team effort, and teams must support one another to be able to move forward together. As Dr. Jennifer Kubista, Superintendent of Central School District 13J in Oregon states, “You have to be reflective and working hard together.” Survey data provides the data and feedback for an organization to reflect on and work on together. In fact, effectively using survey results can improve an organization and its culture. In this episode, Dr. Kubista shares how acting on survey data has done just that in her school district.

    This episode addresses questions such as

    • What is the value of survey data?
    • Why is it important to act on survey data and feedback?
    • How does survey data connect with organizational improvement?

    Listen as Dr. Janet Pilcher and Dr. Kubista discuss these and other questions and explore the powerful story of one district’s journey toward improvement by using survey results to move toward real growth.
