Missouri Reading Initiative Spring 2005 Survey Results
Introduction The following slides present the responses to a selected set of questions taken from the 2005Missouri Reading InitiativeAnnual Participant Survey. The 2005 Survey was the fourth implementation of the questionnaire that asks about program component usage, participant support, trainer performance, and more. In this report the average responses from all respondents in 2005 are compared to previous years’ results. Readers should note that 2005 was the first year that respondents from Grades 4-6 were queried, as this was the first full year the MRI program was offered for those grades.
Introduction While survey responses are “self-reported” results, we would argue this information has power in that it is a summary of the testimony of the people who are in the best position to judge the value of a professional development activity: namely, teachers and administrators in schools. For those readers who are interested, more extensive reporting of process and outcome evaluation activities can be found by following the “Program Evaluation” link at :http://missourireadinginitiative.com/
