Annual Survey of K-12 Institute Participants

The National Science Foundation (NSF) is collecting annual information about each of its Math and Science Partnership (MSP) projects. The purpose is to assess the overall implementation of the MSP program and to monitor the progress of individual MSP grants.

This survey is designed to obtain information from each K-12 teacher and administrator who has enrolled in one or more MSP Institute courses or workshops. The Principal Investigator (PI) of one of the MSP Institutes has identified you as being an appropriate respondent. If you have any questions about the MSP Management Information System, please contact:

Holly Bozeman

1-800-937-8281, ext. 2619

MSPMIS@westat.com

We estimate that it will take approximately 80 minutes of your time to complete this survey. Thank you in advance for completing this survey.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE SURVEY

Feed-back from K-12 teachers and administrators participating in the MSP program is crucial for understanding the strengths and weaknesses of the MSP program. We have constructed this survey to give you the flexibility to respond in general and in detail relative to your level of involvement.

Neither NSF nor the Federal Government will maintain names or contact information associated with this survey. However, this information is held by the awardee institution. Your responses to the questions, however, will not be shared with the PI except in summary form.

Please answer the following questions with the most appropriate response. You may cut and paste text into this system.

It is recommended that you review the Primer (which can be accessed electronically by clicking on "Help" in the menu on the top of the page) before beginning the survey. The Primer provides general instructions and navigation information.

As you are completing the survey, please click the Save & Continue button after you respond to each item/set of items. Once an item or item set is saved, you may use the Question Guide to return to an item and revise your response. If you exit the system without saving, you will lose any unsaved data.

When you are ready to submit your data to NSF, please click the Submit button at the end of the form. You will no longer have access to this survey after a Final Submit has been made.
