The 2011 Survey has been e-mailed to States! On July 7, the CFI Group e-mailed the survey to program contacts in each state. The survey should take about 20-25 minutes to complete. Please assist us by completing the online survey.
The Survey is part of ED’s Organizational Assessment • We review the results of the annual survey to: • Identify areas for improving the quality of service we provide; • Provide critical information for identifying areas we need to build the capacity of our staff to better serve the field; and • Link customer satisfaction with expectations and desired outcomes for our work with the field, including providing technical assistance, preparing guidance documents, conducting onsite monitoring, and the manner we communicate with you on an ongoing basis.
