TELL Survey To Probe Teachers' Thoughts
KENTUCKY...
In light of recently-released statewide test scores that left a lot to be desired, Governor Steve Beshear and other education leaders officially signed up for a new program they hope will turn things around in the state's schools.
It's called the TELL survey – teaching, empowering, leading, and learning. It seeks feedback from every teacher on a variety of topics.
That includes several initiatives, including the development of turnaround strategies for struggling schools. That's been a big deal after last week's unveiling of dismal statewide testing results. Teachers will be asked by an outside agency for their confidential feedback on a variety of topics.
Teachers will be polled across the state starting in March of 2011 and the results will be released in June of 2011.
