Communities for Learning has developed a number of processes and measures to assess a school’s capacity for continuous improvement. These measures include a Baseline Measure (with customized forms for educators, students and community members); an online Survey of Professional Interactions for school staff; and an online Survey of Organizational Capacity for professional staff.

In additional, Communities for Learning offers assessment tools for students, teachers, administrative staff and community members, as well as others best suited for the assessment of learning communities and educational organizations.
