A) Professional Development Survey B) Induction Survey

Format: • 15 Questions with 5 point Likert Scale (SA, A, N, D, SD) • 5 Open Ended Thoughts Conclusions: • Teachers appreciated substitute coverage so that they could collaborate and focus on development. • Teachers felt that PLC Activities were valuable and engaging. • Teachers indicated a need for increased opportunity to research and share information that is important to them and their program. • Teachers indicated a need for more time to ask questions and discuss topics, as well as share strategies and practices.

Summary: Below we have grouped the topics from the 10 questions provided above into A) Highest Agreement; B) Moderate Agreement; and C) Least Agreement. We will work as a group to improve in the areas of moderate and least agreement to provide a more enjoyable and effective induction program. A. Areas of Highest Agreement included : communication of Framework and Guide; Facilitation; and Sufficient Time. B. Areas of Moderate Agreement included : structured with practical focus based on needs; adequate opportunity to ask questions; and culture which nurtured respect and appreciation for diverse programs C. Areas of Least Agreement: opportunity to research and share and effectiveness of professional development approach.
