Engagement+Survey

One of the aspects of this wiki that I am most excited about is the Student Engagement Survey. It's development is taking longer than I had hoped, but we don't want to skip on the quality.

Using input from a variety of resources, the initial survey was over 70 questions - including several short essay answers. As anticipated, when we ran a pilot group of students through Mrs Wright's Marketing Class, "survey - weariness" kicked in around questions 30 - 35.

We have taken the input from the pilot group of 35 students and are now in a re-design stage. Marilyn Bishop has graciously agreed to help consolidate issues and questions. Other than myself, Mrs. Bishop, the Adult Ed /GED Teacher, probably has the most experience actually interviewing at-risk students, so I know we are on the same page in identifying the best target questions.

Keep checking in to this page.

Once the survey is developed, we hope to have all students participate. From there, Dr. Robinson will help collate and examine the results and help generate a report that - hopefully - gives us a valuable baseline for discussing design issues for at-risk students.
