Preparation (how to get the resources needed)

  • Review what the data will be used for (statewide snapshot, vs. evaluating specific professional development projects, vs. providing feedback to any group of teachers who want it, or some combination of these);
  • Form a stakeholder group to develop, recommend or adopt standards framework;
  • Do the political groundwork for building an administrative and funding framework to facilitate participation, including a mandate for the assessment happening;
  • Select or build an instrument (refer to the SETDA guide for some options);
  • Plan for actual data collection; make decisions about sampling vs. population measurement, logistics of administering instrument, timelines, responsibilities, inclusion of respondent groups (teachers, administrators, tech coordinators, etc) and needs for different instruments for different groups;
  • Consider outsourcing, collaborating with university partners, etc.
