Dear SCUSD Staff Member:

You are invited to participate in a study of the SCUSD Training Specialist Program. SCUSD is seeking feedback from approximately 500 staff members in order to better understand how the Training Specialist Program (A) supports teachers and sites in their important instructional goals and (B) impacts student achievement.

A component of this study is a survey. This survey asks questions about experiences with SCUSD Training Specialists. Please note, for the purposes of this study, we are seeking information only on the SCUSD Training Specialist Program. This does not include information about your experiences with Site Instructional Coordinators. Another opportunity will be available in January to provide information on the Site Instructional Coordinator Program. SCUSD is evaluating both of these programs sequential to each other.

As a participant in this survey, you will be asked to: (A) think about your experiences working with the Training Specialists and (B) share your feedback about the program. It will take approximately ten minutes to complete this survey. Your participation and feedback is extremely valuable.

As always, your participation in this study is completely voluntary. And, there are no foreseeable risks associated with this project. Your survey responses will be strictly confidential and the data from this evaluation study will be reported only in the aggregate.

If you have questions at any time about the survey or the procedures in this evaluation study, you may contact Assessment, Research and Evaluation (ARE) at 916-643-9420.

In the next set of questions you will read a series of statements and decide whether there is evidence to support the statement. Each statement may or may not be true, and your response should be based on your professional experiences and interactions with the Training Specialist Program. As you consider each statement, you will be asked to think about the level of tangible evidence that supports your conclusion. Use the following guide to inform your ratings:

There is strong and compelling evidence to support this statement: This means there is overwhelming evidence and strong anecdotal information to support the statement and you can readily point to multiple examples.

There is evidence to support this statement: This means there is evidence and some anecdotal information to support the statement and you can point to at least one example.

There is no evidence to support this statement: This means there is no evidence, or anecdotal information, from your professional experience. However, the statement may still be true.

This statement is untrue: There is no evidence to support the statement and the statement is in no way valid.

Evidence is a broad term, and you are free to look at any piece of information as you rate the statements. Do not rely on the list below as the sole source for what may constitute evidence. You are being asked to reflect on your own knowledge and experiences and decide on the evidence.

Here are some examples of tangible evidence to support your conclusions:

1. Instructional materials identified by the Training Specialist Program
2. Lesson plans developed collaboratively by the Training Specialist Program
3. Gains in student achievement, attributable to the District Training Specialist Program (i.e. changes in student learning)
4. The quality of professional learning facilitated and supported by the District Training Specialist Program
5. Hours given to sites by the District Training Specialist Program
