Pre-Pilot Student Survey

Note: This survey was designed to measure changes in student attitudes, skills, and engagement over the course of a specific ed-tech product pilot. While specific curricular references have been removed, this survey should be modified to meet your district’s unique measurement needs.

Introduction

This spring your district will be involved with piloting (tryingout) [NAME(S) OF PROGRAM] in your classroom.

This survey asks you questions about your background experience with technology in school. We would like to hear from you.

There are 10 questions and your responses will be anonymous (will not be connected to your name) and confidential (we will not show your responses to your teachers or parents). If at any time you do not want to continue this survey, you may stop.

We want to hear from you, but if you decide not to complete the survey there will be no impact on your grades or your involvement in piloting the program at your school.
