Gorham Middle School Leadership Survey

This survey is intended to assist our building leaders in better understanding their respective areas of strength and challenge as leaders within the Gorham School Department.  Results of this survey WILL NOT be used in direct evaluation processes, but WILL inform building leaders as they reflect upon their practice, assess their skills, and build leadership goals for the coming school year that target areas of most need.

Please take the time to provide the most accurate responses possible to help inform their continued growth as leaders!
