As part of the i3 evaluation, surveys were developed to collect information on attitudes, beliefs, and practices from leaders and teachers in all treatment and control schools. The surveys were developed by CEPR using several strategies. First, items were included to answer the i3 evaluation questions related to changes in school leaders’ and teachers’ data-based practices. For purposes of measuring implementation fidelity, items were added to capture variation in model implementation across schools. Finally, a review of the literature and surveys of similar topics was undertaken to ensure that the surveys included items of relevance to the field.
Across all surveys, major themes remained largely the same. School leaders were asked about the culture of their school and their attitudes towards data use; the presence of interim assessments, data-based instructional programs, and their implementation; and background information on school leadership. Teacher surveys focused on attitudes towards, and use of, data in the classroom; awareness, understanding, and satisfaction with data-based instructional programs, and their implementation; their school culture; and teacher background. A set of ANet-specific items was directed to the treatment group respondents to measure fidelity of implementation as reported by educators, as well as their satisfaction with various program components.
