# Staff Surveys

For a wider-reaching view of SEL at your school, another option is to conduct a staff survey. CASEL’s [School-based Staff Survey on Schoolwide SEL Implementation](https://schoolguide.casel.org/resource/tool-staff-family-and-community-partner-survey-on-sel-implementation/) is an excellent resource to help you do this, even including a draft letter that you can adapt for your own school to inform staff of the purpose of the survey.

The resource includes a full list of questions that should take respondents no more than ten minutes to answer. In a similar way to the Personal SEL Reflection, they take the form of a series of statements, such as “I have participated in professional learning on how my interactions with students can promote their social and emotional competence.” Respondents simply tick boxes to state how often each statement has occurred, ranging from “Never” to “Always”.

This survey provides an excellent overview of how your staff perceive and experience various features of SEL in your school, giving you a picture of where you are as a school and where there are opportunities for improvement.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://guide.fariaedu.com/social-and-emotional-learning-a-w-s-approach/assessing-sel-at-your-school/staff-surveys.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
