Survey Draft  |  Observations  |  Survey Revision

A district has added a new unit on global warming to its science curriculum. The developers will train the teachers in using it during a two-day summer workshop. To assess the quality of the training, the district has drafted a questionnaire with seven items. It focuses on the quality of the workshop, not on the material in the unit.

Since the district staffers have limited experience in questionnaire development, they ask you to look over a draft. What flaws do you see? What improvements can you suggest?
