The purpose of this study is to examine how Illinois school districts are utilizing the Illinois 5Essentials Survey results, particularly for school improvement, to determine challenges to successful implementation, and to make recommendations for improvements to the 5E Survey and implementation process for statewide use. We also summarize district/school stakeholders' familiarity with the 5E Survey, perceived value of the survey, preferences for training, levels of supports, and reasons for not using the 5E Survey data. Examples of district's promising practices for utilizing the 5E data are also highlighted. Three appendices are included: (1) Interview Protocol; (2) Additional Suggestions Improving the 5Essentials Survey; and (3) Survey Tables for ISBE Implementation Feedback Survey.
