Please share your analysis of the two Dover surveys, including your observations, as well as your analysis of these observations.

Technology Curriculum

Question 2 Question 3 Question 4 Question 5 Question 6
 * Not at all is much higher than we had expected it to be for the 2nd question
 * Could be caused by the fact that there is not a lot of software or programs available for lower grade students K-2
 * "Informed decisions" part may have been overlooked in the question - should have been an or instead of an and
 * This is something we are growing and improving in;
 * We as a staff need to have the information as well so that we can pass that on to the students
 * A lot of students are coming to us with that basic knowledge - which is helping in schools
 * Lacking feedback from many in the district that could skew the results in a different direction

Professional Development

Question 1 Question 2 Question 3 Question 4
 * Based on the numbers - we know that we're missing almost half of the teachers responding
 * Maybe send out a new one - Thank those that responded and ask those who didn't to please do so
 * Not surprised that Research is the highest - that is something that kids know how to do and the teachers don't necessarily have to learn something new to use it.
 * Appropriate use of technology should be higher - doesn't have to be formal but should be covered
 * A lot of them are high which shows that they're interested but haven't been able to do it
 * Based on number 4 - more training needs to be provided for teachers to make them new comfortable
