School Administrator Survey - Beginning Teachers (Years 1-5)

Dear School Administrator,

Our records indicate that you have hired one or more recently trained Spring Arbor University teachers. This survey is designed to gather employer satisfaction data on teachers who received their training in the past five years at Spring Arbor University. The information shared will be confidential and used for data construction purposes for an annual report required by Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP).

It is possible that in the past five years, you have hired more than one SAU trained teacher. We do not want to burden administrators with multiple surveys to complete. If possible, please complete one survey that reflects your general satisfaction levels with those teachers. However, if one of the SAU trained teachers is considered ineffective or minimally effective, please feel free to complete a separate survey on that teacher.

This survey consists of 26 questions that ask you to rate the Spring Arbor University teacher(s) in three areas: knowledge, performance, and dispositional. A section for writing comments is found at the end of the survey.  Beginning with Question #3, a four-point Likert scale is used to answer each question. The rating scale is as follows:

4 = Strongly Agree;  3 = Agree;  2 = Disagree;  1 = Strongly Disagree
 
Spring Arbor University trained teachers are guaranteed to perform at satisfactory levels. Information regarding the guarantee is found at the end of the survey.  

Thank you for your time in completing this survey.  If you have questions, please contact Dr. Dale Linton (dale.linton@arbor.edu or 517-750-6413)
