Imagine yourself…as the evaluator for a TF/MTF program funded for five years. Your evaluation plan includes annual online surveys of teachers about their content knowledge, instructional strategies used, and demographics.

After three years of program implementation and evaluation, the TF/MTF program leaders would like the survey to collect information about teachers’ agreement with productive or unproductive statements about the teaching and learning of mathematics. They are also interested in the extent to which their students are achieving the Standards for Mathematical Practices.

How might you customize the survey to include these new scales, three years into the project? What are some considerations you need to think about when adding the scales?

What would you do?

Perhaps…

Retrospective & Concurrent

  • Identify participants’ agreement with the

statements prior to participation in the program

  • Ask participants to reflect on whether or not their

agreement has changed over the past three years.

  • Include items with concurrent wording in all

upcoming assessments in order to monitor moving forward.

  • Do any previous measures tap similar constructs?
