Student Survey Instrument Update - Lynda Fuller 1/12/16 9:34 AM Student Survey Instrument Update North Carolina Public Schools <NCPublicSchools@public.govdelivery.com> Tue 1/12/2016 9:25 AM Inbox To: Lynda Fuller <Lynda.Fuller@dpi.nc.gov>; NCDPI Educator Human Capital Policy and Research Director Tom Tomberlin recently sent the following memorandum to district human resources directors. This is being shared with you for informational purposes. CC Lynda Fuller NCDPI Communications Greetings HR Directors: As many of you are aware, we have initiated student surveys for the fall semester. Because we created the process for a stateCwide implementation, we automated the studentCteacher assignments from PowerSchool course enrollment data. I realize that many districts have opted not to participate in the student survey process this year, but I need to make you all aware that the student survey icon will be active for all students during your district’s scheduled administration window. I am making you aware so that if you get questions about the survey from your teachers and/or students, you are able to communicate your local LEA decision about participation. Please share information about the student surveys with your principals as well as your district’s position on participation. For districts who are participating in the student survey process, support requests should be sent to the student survey district administrator who will escalate the issue to the DPI Support Center if necessary. Please do not advise your schools to contact the DPI Support Center directly if your district is not participating in the fall administration of the student surveys. There is a possibility that students will complete the surveys even if the district has elected not to participate formally. If NCDPI receives data from school districts that have elected not to participate, we will notify the district that data are available and allow the district to make a decision about whether those data will be shared with teachers/principals or not. NCDPI will not report or analyze student survey data without the expressed consent of the district. If you have questions or concerns, please contact educatoreffectiveness@dpi.nc.gov, Jennifer DeNeal Sjennifer.deneal@dpi.nc.govU, or Tom Tomberlin Sthomas.tomberlin@dpi.nc.govU. Thanks, Thomas R.
