Relationship between SPS Overall Percent Favorable and Overall Evaluation Rating
What about the survey elements? Classroom Community Classroom Management
Student-Centered Environment Student Learning
Summary of Findings - Validity
• Analyzed 14,539 open-ended responses (3-5 and 6-12)
• We find that not only were the majority of students taking the survey seriously, but that many of the responses were specific and actionable in nature– 98.6% (N=14,341) were considered substantive – 66.3% (N=9,646) were coded as actionable – Moreover, although some subjects and grades were slightly
more likely to garner actionable feedback, in general actionable responses came from students in all grades and subjects
• We know that teachers care about their practice and especially about their students. – They also may experience nervousness and anxiety about the
surveys, and district and school leaders must address those fears.
• By itself, a reliable and valid instrument does not ensure that teachers will receive good feedback.
• Messaging matters! – Engage stakeholders early and often– Make the process as transparent as possible
• Give stakeholders real decision-making power
Engaging Stakeholders
• Forming a planning committee• Building educator investment• Building student understanding and comfort• Informing other stakeholders
Key Decisions
• Use a vendor or manage administration internally?
• Online or paper/pencil survey administration?• When will the survey be administered? • How will students and teachers be sampled?• Include an open-ended question on the survey?• How will survey results be used?
Key Decision: How will survey results be used?
• Consider a “hold-harmless” pilot year• As a formative tool
• Reflect on individual practice• Identify over-arching trends and create strategies to address
them. • As a part of an evaluation
• Used as an artifact for determining ratings for professional practices
• Included as one of several multiple measures • Sharing teacher-level results
