Dear Hastings Teacher:
The following survey is part of the district's effort to assess how computer and information technology is currently used to support teaching and learning across the district. We realize that there are many different points of view and opinions related to how the district should implement its technology plan, and this survey is one way in which we will be gathering information on those varied opinions and experiences. In addition to this survey, we will also be visiting each school, observing teachers and students, and conducting teacher/administrator interviews.
In the following survey, we want to explore current practices with regard to various instructional technology tools and techniques. We also want to learn about how you currently perceive of the value of technology as a tool for improving student performance and achievement. Therefore, these questions ask about your beliefs and attitudes related to technology integration. Many of the questions are multiple choice, but we also have provided a space at the end of the survey for you to enter as much text as you might wish. Please feel free to use this text space to add any additional comments (positive or negative) you might wish.
We will analyze this survey's data in aggregate to determine an overall picture of uses and attitudes related to technology in Hastings-on-Hudson UFSD. We will not track the responses from individual respondents, and therefore all of your responses will be anonymous.
In each of the questions below that ask for an open-ended response, please feel free to type in as much text as you would like. The box will automatically scroll and your text will automatically wrap in the box.
Thank you in advance for your time!
