Attachment 3: Comparison of Teacher Post‐PD Initial vs. Nonresponse Questionnaire Results
This document compares responses from teachers who responded to the initial post‐PD questionnaire
with the responses from teachers who responded to a follow up non‐response post‐PD questionnaire.
For each question, the number of teachers who responded to the respective questionnaires (n),
descriptive statistics (frequencies, means/standard deviations), and significant difference test results are
reported. Chi square tests were conducted when the response choices were nominal (e.g., yes/no) and
independent t‐tests were conducted when response choices were ordinal (e.g., 1‐5 point Likert‐type). P
values are reported to indicate if initial and non‐respondent teachers’ responses are statistically
significantly different (p<.05).
Note: The numbers in parentheses immediately following the response choices, such as (55), (1), (0), are
the values assigned to each response.
PDQ6 How long ago did you complete professional development focused on watersheds or water
quality issues (also known as a Meaningful Watershed Education Experience professional development
or MWEE PD)?
