A voluntary survey that Kentucky teachers take every two years is now available online.
It’s known as the Kentucky TELL survey and its meant to measure what teachers think of their schools, resources, leadership and community support. If a majority of teachers at a particular school take the survey, then that school can use the data as part of its ongoing improvement plan.
Nearly 90 percent of teachers across the state took the survey in 2013. If found that many teachers thought poorly of their schools access to technology. Also, half of respondents wanted more professional development on the new standards known as common core.
The education department says legislators and policymakers may also use the information to develop and implement changes.
The voluntary and anonymous survey is open until March 31.
