Student Surveys • Kentucky’s pilot PGES surveys are modified from the Tripod Survey (used in the MET project) • Advantage: • Experience- • 11 years • 1,000s of classrooms
Student Surveys • 2 student voice surveys • 3rd-5th • 6th-12th • Parents can opt out of their child completing a survey • Individual student results are not reported
Examining the Surveys Select one of the levels (3rd-5th or 6th-12th) and complete the survey as if you were doing it for a teacher you have had in the past.
