The National Institute for Learning Development (NILD) is inviting all current Christian School administrators to participate in a survey in which NILD seeks to better understand the opportunities and challenges facing school administrators as they strive to provide excellent Christian education for all learners. The survey is designed to examine the perceived and felt professional learning needs of Christian School educators and what educational support services Christian School administrators desire to promote the thinking and learning of all learners. Please complete the following anonymous, online survey which will take approximately 5 - 10 minutes to complete.

  • current success Christian schools are having meeting the learning needs of all students
