Office of Teaching and Learning

Standards Implementation Survey

Survey Goals: There are four main goals for this survey.

• To evaluate CDE’s support tools and outreach related to the implementation of standards;

• To gain a deeper understanding of our targeted audiences based on level of awareness, progress through transition, and/or degree of implementation of the new Colorado Standards to allow for differentiated outreach opportunities;

• To provide a needs assessment linking district’s implementation progress, district size and geographic location to inform the priorities of the Office of Standards and Instructional Support; and

• To identify the most valuable, effective, feasible options for CDE to provide support for standards implementation and the transformation of teaching and learning.

Intended Respondents: The invitation to respond to the survey was addressed to all superintendents of public school districts. Superintendents may complete the survey independently or appoint an appropriate district representative to complete the survey on his/her behalf.

Survey Window: The survey will be open May 9 - June 8, 2012.

Survey Link and PDF: The survey, powered by Survey Monkey® can be found here.

This is a fairly detailed survey. We encourage respondents to review the PDF version prior to taking the online survey. Survey Monkey does not have the capacity to save work and log in to complete the survey, please download the PDF here.

How will the data be used?: The survey is anonymous and voluntary. District input will be extremely valuable in identifying the most effective and efficient ways for CDE to support the state with standards implementation.
