Results for The Power of Career-Connected Learning in New Hampshire report are based on a web-based survey conducted from May 8 through June 13, 2023. The survey was available in English and Spanish and administered to students during the school day. Overall, 9,641 middle school and high school students responded from 13 districts and 28 schools throughout the state of New Hampshire . The results from this survey represent the first of a multiyear commitment to this study.
The study was designed in accordance with RSA 186:11, IX-d, New Hampshire’s policy governing the administration of non-academic surveys or questionnaires, which includes all surveys, questionnaires or other documents designed to elicit information about a student’s social behavior, family life, religion, politics, sexual orientation, sexual activity, drug use or any other information not related to a student’s academics. Additionally, the research protocol and survey were reviewed by Gallup’s Institutional Review Board.
The margin of error (MOE) for all 9,641 students surveyed is 1.0%. The MOE for the 4,346 middle school students surveyed is 1.5% and the MOE for the 5,295 high school students surveyed is 1.3%. The MOE is a measure of precision: For each group, there is a 95% chance that the estimate is within +/- the adjusted MOE. For example, 91% of high schoolers indicated they have participated in at least one CCL opportunity. With a MOE of 1.3%, there is reasonable certainty (a 95% chance) that the true estimate is between 89.7% and 92.3%.
