Teaching Lab All Partners Report

2021-2022 Mid-Year Report

Background

To date (Feb 07, 2022), Teaching Lab has administered the following to participants from your school or district during SY21-22:

  • 2790 complete responses to the End of Session Surveys that gather participant feedback on facilitation from session to session;

  • 827 complete responses to the End of Course Surveys that gather participant feedback on each PL course;

  • 1069 complete responses to the first Knowledge or Self-Reported Practices Assessments and 434 to the second Knowledge or Self-Reported Practices Assessments;

  • 969 complete responses to the Baseline Diagnostic Educator Survey that collects information on teachers’ use of curricula, mindsets, self-reported practices, and school environment. The follow-up will be administered in the spring after a year of PL engagement.

Below are the results presented in various sections: Participant Background and Demographic Summary, Participant Perceptions, Participant Knowledge, Participant Mindsets, Participant Practice, and Student Outcomes

Section 1: Participant Background and Demographics Summary

Teaching Lab collects information on participants’ gender and racial identity, years of experience, content area and grades taught, summarized below.

Section 2: Participant Perceptions

Teaching Lab collects participant feedback on facilitation from session to session and then on the entire course once it has concluded. Below are results for both.

Section 2a: End of Session Summary

Participants’ aggregate feedback on each session is provided below.

In summary, we see the following % agree or strongly agree with the above statements:

  • 91% strongly agree or agree that they were fully prepared for the session.
  • 89% strongly agree or agree that they responded to the group’s needs.
  • 89% strongly agree or agree that they facilitated the content clearly.
  • 91% strongly agree or agree that they effectively built a safe learning community.
  • 91% strongly agree or agree that they demonstrated deep knowledge of the content they facilitated.

Here, by visualizing ratings of strongly agree/agree in blue areas, and all other ratings in black areas we visualize feedback over time (If there is just one point of feedback this appears as a dot).

Finally, here are some highlights from the textual feedback of the end of session survey

Responses to “What could have been better about today’s session?”

Responses to “What went well in today’s session?”

Responses to “What additional feedback do you have about their facilitation skills?”

Section 2b: End of Course Summary

Participants’ feedback on each course is provided below.

In summary, we see the following % agree or strongly agree with the above statements:

  • 83% strongly agree or agree that they were satisfied with how the course was facilitated.
  • 81% strongly agree or agree that they responded to the group’s needs.
  • 86% strongly agree or agree that they felt a sense of community with the other participants in the course even though they were meeting virtually.
  • 87% strongly agree or agree that they will apply what they have learned in the course to their practice in the next 4-6 weeks.
  • 78% strongly agree or agree that the independent online work activities were well-designed to help me meet learning targets.
  • 77% strongly agree or agree that the strategies I’ve learned in the course are easy to implement.
  • 75% strongly agree or agree that they facilitated the content clearly.
  • 83% strongly agree or agree that they’ve learned in this course will improve my instruction.
  • 83% strongly agree or agree that the course has supported me in being responsive to students’ backgrounds, cultures, and points of view.

Here, by visualizing ratings of strongly agree/agree in blue areas, and all other ratings in black areas we visualize feedback over time (If there is just one point of feedback this appears as a dot).

Several samplings of the textual feedback from the course survey are presented below.

Responses to “What went well in this course?”

Responses to “Overall, what could have been better in this course?”

Responses to “What is the learning from this course that you are most excited about trying out?”

Responses to “Which activities best supported your learning in this course?”

Responses to “Feel free to leave us any additional comments, concerns, or questions.”
