Description¶

A 5–10 minute online Qualtrics survey, open two weeks in June 2015, that randomly assigned K-12 teachers after consent to treatment or control. All participants answered a 5-item support for student perception surveys scale (𝛼 = .86); treatment participants additionally answered a mirrored 5-item support for teacher perception surveys scale (𝛼 = .75) about evaluating administrators. Both measures were developed for this study following survey design best practices and are printed in the appendix.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

Random assignment via the Qualtrics platform after consent; the two scales mirror one another so the teacher-survey items parallel the student-survey items.

Constraints¶

Recruited through snowball sampling via NNSTOY; 309 of 407 participants completed the intervention and 279 completed the entire survey.

Target Learners¶

K-12 teachers

Learning Goals¶

Measuring and shifting support for student perception surveys as an evaluation source
