Well I sent out a survey to the staff on my campus about 2 weeks ago. My campus has about 85 teachers and as of today 24 have responded. That's about 32% of the staff. So far the results are
Staff that chose fill out paper work to receive a the bonus check - 18
Did the grant effect your desire to tutor/mentor - 7 yes / 17 no
Did the grant encourage you to return - 7 yes / 17 no
Is the grant of our TAKS success - 10 yes / 13 no / 1 unsure
Is the money distributed fairly - 6 yes / 18 no
I was surprised to see that not everyone turned in the paperwork. All teachers will receive $500 at the very least for tutoring/mentoring. I was glad to see that the grant had a low effect on tutoring. Most teachers said they would tutorial with or without the grant money. The same goes for returning to the campus. Many teachers are happy and enjoy working at our school. Our OHI was 98% last year. When it comes to distribution of money all but one of the yeses teach a TAKS class.
I was also told the Assoc Superintendent did a survey about the DATE Grant as well. I emailed him and he was kind enough to help me out with his finding as well. As all 3 interviewees said - don't re-invent the wheel if you don't have to.
So, you're thinking like a superintendent already! Are those the survey questions the assoc. superintendent used also? Did he survey all DATE schools in your district? That will be very interesting to see how your school results compare to the others...
ReplyDeleteSome of his questions were the same as mine and some were more detailed about opinion on sub pop performance. He also surveyed the entire district, I just surveyed my campus. I'm still gathereing my campus data, but will be comparing soon.
