SURVEY

Please fill out and return to Loren McGrail at SABES

This survey is to determine the effect that Adventures in Assessment: Learner Centered Approaches to Assessment and Evaluation has had on the field. Does the journal either change or validate people’s practices and is it a good staff development tool? We define staff development as the process of reinforcing, maintaining and building effective teaching practices. Ultimately, staff development acts as an antidote to burnout.
