The surveys

I am still wading my way through surveys! All the once designed with multiple choice answers and just a few places to specify other information went very quickly. But one of the last questionnaires was completely open-ended, with questions like "What would help you share the information you've learned with other teachers?" and "Other than food or transportation money, what about the program would you change?" Monica, a true saint, has been helping me enter them and translate them into English, but we tend to finish only three or four an hour, when they're legible. After they've all been entered (for a record of original data), I'll try to code them to group similar responses. We're definitely seeing a lot of themes. They were glad to have done group work, lesson and unit plans, and internet, among others. There weren't very many negative comments; some felt limited in their ability to employ some of the techniques or pass them on without some additional resources.

But, the end is in sight, and I'll be able to finish the evaluation soon!
