Links+to+Surveys

Below are links to survey instruments and/or websites detailing the instruments and files of survey instruments when available.

Super nice and helpful!
 * Arizona State University**




 * Ball State University Program Survey**


 * Columbia Teacher's College Program Surveys**




 * Harvard**

We talked to Dr. Kay Merseth, and she forwarded our request to Candice Bocala. We're waiting to hear back. Dr. Merseth did say the following, "We use several surveys. One the students take four times: at entry, at the end of the summer program, at the end of the first semester and at the end of the year. We then track item responses across the program. This has resulted in several papers one in particular in Urban Education. The graduate school also surveys all students at the end of the year..."


 * Indiana University**

(Awaiting paper copies of several instruments - Will convert to PDF and post)


 * Michigan State University Survey Instruments**




 * New York University**

We haven't received a response yet.


 * Ohio State University**

Suzanne introduced the following study to our group, and we were able to find the survey instrument that was used. We've also included the report that they reference at the beginning of the article from the National Center for Education Statistics.


 * Teach for America Principal Survey**




 * Teacher Pathways Project (SUNY Albany and Stanford University)**




 * University of California-Berkeley**

We haven't received a response yet.


 * University of California-Los Angeles**

Yay again! UCLA sent two documents. My contact said they use the University of California alumni surveys, but they're working on their own to gauge their program's impact on teacher quality.



Also, quite willing to assist us, they shared the following:
 * University of Georgia**




 * University of Maryland**

They're putting something together for us and will send it out in a week or two.


 * University of Massachusetts-Amherst**

Dr. Marge Magouirk Colbert shared that they have a wealth of information on line. Here is a copy of her email, and some working links to data.

 * Universities of Oregon and New Mexico**

We talked to Dr. Joseph Stephens there, and he gave us the name of another contact (waiting to hear back). However, he did say that they are in the process of creating a survey instrument of teachers and employers of teachers that's going to be conducted by the Oregon state credentialing and licensing commission. He said that he'd share it with us when it's done in a few months, but it's in the middle of content validation.

The good news was that he did share the following, "We also conducted several surveys of teachers when I worked at the University of New Mexico around ten years ago (see attached). Those were extensively validated and constructed to be consistent with what NCES did on their teacher surveys as well as with activities of the National Commission on Teaching and America's Future (NCTAF) who was involved in the surveys in some years."

Here are those documents:


 * University of Texas**

These are documents formerly used by UT for their UTeach program. We have not gotten a response thus far to emails trying to elicit current feedback procedures, but we thought that these were still interesting to include and thought provoking.



Ok, update here. They sent me this, but I want to put what he said in his email to me here. I want to make sure it's OK to put this up.

We have a draft paper that may address the questions you pose below. We’re dealing with publication, so the name of the program is stripped out, as is the real name of the instrument, the UTOP. I did stick back in the authors so you can see who wrote it.




 * University of Washington**




 * University of Wisconsin-Madison**

Yay! UW came through, as I knew the old alma mater would! The first document contains questions asked of teacher prep grads across the UW system, and the second document is composed of Madison specific questions.


 * Vanderbilt**

They were happy to share with us. Vanderbilt uses a company called Educational Benchmarking, Inc. (EBI) to do their surveys for them. EBI provided a sample survey that they use. HOWEVER, the document is copyrighted, and they admonished us that this was not to be used unless we employee their services.




 * Boston College (Teacher for a New Era)**
