Survey Season
Submitted by Gregg Legutki on Thu, 2008-05-01 13:13.
Each year about this time, Educational Support Systems (ESS), our outside evaluators, sends out a request to complete the “CTAP survey.” This survey collects information from people who have participated in one of our workshops, attended one of our meetings, or had some type of consultation contact with any CTAP Region 10 staff.
The information that ESS collects in this survey is very important to our future planning. Aside from the nuts and bolts numbers, the data assists Region 10 in developing new workshops and pursuing new direction for support to our districts. In the past, results from the ESS “CTAP survey” has resulted in the development and implementation of new workshops including:
• Digital Classroom which supports the effective use of technology tools to improve student engagement and support the adopted curriculum
• Podcasting where participants learn how to incorporate Podcasts into their K-12 curriculum to increase student engagement
• Data Teams which is designed for administrators and teacher leaders who want to become a site-level Data Team to support assessment literacy at their school site
• Marzano Strategies Integrated with Technology where participants learn how technology can help implement learning strategies to increase student achievement
If you have already responded to the email from ESS by completing the survey, we appreciate your time in providing this information. If you have not yet had the opportunity to complete the survey, we ask that you plan some time in the next few days so that we can include your valuable input.
Please remember that this “CTAP survey” is not the recently completed California School Technology Survey (CSTS) that assesses the number of computers, connectivity, and general use of technology at a district or site level. Nor is the “CTAP survey” in any way similar to EdTechProfile, where teachers are asked to self-assess their skills in integrating technology in the classroom.
