K-12 Teacher? Take One or Both of Our Surveys!
Self-Efficacy Survey
Project Focus, a Javits-sponsored project at the University of Connecticut, is seeking survey participants as part of a research study. The purpose of the survey is to learn more about teachers’ self-efficacy, especially related to questioning and discussion in the classroom. The surveys will contribute to the overall goals of Project Focus to support professional learning around questioning and discussion to challenge learners in the classroom.
We are seeking survey responses from teachers at grades K-12. We invite teachers who are currently practicing and those who taught within the last five years. Participation in the study will involve responding to an online, anonymous survey. The Self Efficacy survey should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. Participants are eligible to receive a $10 electronic gift card for participation in the survey.
