The survey was developed by ODE and is named SEED Survey, which stands for Student Educational Equity Development Survey. The survey will help ODE gather information about the educational experiences of students in Oregon. This information will help ODE to develop appropriate resources and supports for districts in Oregon, and better target those resources where they are most needed.
