Emerging America -- Year 1 Participant Survey

As part of the annual evaluation of the Emerging America project, the project evaluators would like to gather a little more information from you, a Year 1 project participant. Your responses to the following questions will help us paint the most accurate picture possible of how Emerging America has - and will - influence your work as a teacher of American History. There are only five questions, and it should not take more than a few minutes to complete this survey.

We are particularly interested in your written comments. Any qualitative information you can provide us (in the various text spaces below) will be very helpful in assessing the impact of the Emerging America project on project participants and their students.

Your responses are anonymous and confidential and are used only to assess the Emerging America project. Thank you for your time!

2. In thinking about the lesson that you created, how does it differ from other lessons you've created in the past for teaching the same subject/topic?

3. Have you, since you created the lesson based on Emerging American professional development, actually had the chance to use this lesson with students?

Please provide some feedback on how this lesson worked. Did it work well? Were there any particular problems? What if anything would you change the next time you have the opportunity to use it with students? :

4. Did you participate in Windows on History?
