Using the TELL Oregon Survey Results Oregon Education Association Center for Great Public Schools 2014
What is the TELL survey? • The Teaching, Empowering, Leading and Learning (TELL) Oregon survey is an anonymous statewide survey of licensed school-based educators to assess teaching conditions at the school, district and state level. • The survey was administered from February 24 – April 7, 2014
Purpose The purpose of TELL Oregon is to document and analyze how teachers and other educators view the teaching and learning conditions at their school. By taking the survey, educators have provided data to help identify supports needed to strengthen student learning and to ensure student success.
Who participated in 2014? 19, 373 Educators (59% of eligible educators) Breakdown 17,418 Teachers 588 Principals 236 Assistant Principals 1,131 Other Education Professionals
What were the questions? All the questions can be found on the www.telloregon.org website and were grouped into the following categories...
Which results qualify as “viewable?” • State Results - no minimum threshold, therefore reports are available. • District Results – Only districts which met the minimum threshold of 35% response rate and at least 20 respondents will have their data on the website. • School Results – Only schools which met the minimum threshold of 50% response rate and at least 5 respondents will receive data. Note: Even though an individual school may not have met threshold, ALL surveys submitted still count towards the district and state results; same for the district results.

High School A Sifting through the data…where do I start? High School A The summaries show all the “strongly agree” and “agree” responses under each category. One way to begin analysis of the data is by noting highs and lows. TIP: Use a green colored pencil to note high percentages. Use a red to note the lows.
High School A Sifting through the data…where do I start? High School A Highs: Teachers agreed that they had access to reliable communication tech and the school environment is clean. Lows: Few teachers agree that they have sufficient access to appropriate instructional materials and technology. Valuable conversations can be held around each of these subjects.
Horizontal data information High School A High School A It might also be useful to study the data horizontally. There’s a 20% difference in the rate of agreement district-wide versus High School A on whether teachers have adequate space to work. It may warrant a closer look.
