We have long wanted to conduct a completely teacher-centered survey but never had an opportunity. This year we decided to create the opportunity by hosting a Center-sponsored reseach project whereby we would develop, in concert with participating districts, a survey instrument and, subsequently, a national database of response data.
The Teacher Attitudes & Beliefs Survey is designed for all certified teachers and is available through our online survey tool.
Survey Structure:
- 45 - 50 multiple choice questions
- 6 to 8 demographic related questions
- 3 to 4 open-ended comment questions
- Up to 10 custom questions per participating district
- Online administration
What do you get?

3. Survey Results in 5 different reports at the item level

Additional Services
- Focus Groups. Focus groups are a great means to explore topics from the survey in more depth. These are offered to participating districts at a deep discount.
- Custom & Additional Reports. Custom reports can be generated for a variety of variables including school specific reports, demographic specific reports, and cross-tabulation reports. While the standard reports will provide a large amount of data, oftentimes it is necessary to develop a deeper understanding of specific topics. Custom reports can help in this area.
