Introduction
Another measure of the Teacher Keys Effectiveness System consists of Student Surveys of Instructional
Practice. Surveys are an important data collection tool used to gather client (in this instance, student) data from
individuals regarding the students’ perceptions of teacher performance and will be administered through the
GaDOE TLE Electronic Platform. Advantages of using a survey design include the rapid turnaround in data
collection, the limited cost in gathering the data, and the ability to infer perceptions of a larger population from
smaller groups of individuals. In the Teacher Keys Effectiveness System, surveys will be used as a measure of
teacher effectiveness and documentation to support four of the TAPS standards. These four standards: Standard
3-Instructional Strategies, Standard 4-Differentiated Instruction, Standard 7-Positive Learning Environment, &
Standard 8-Academically Challenging Environment reflect the direct experience of students in classrooms.
Multiple data sources enable the evaluator to obtain a more accurate picture of performance and assist the
teacher in increasing student success. These data sources do not stand alone but are complementary to each
other and should be integrated into the process of evaluation to provide a richer portrait of teacher performance.
The flaws of one data source are often the strengths of another, and, by combining multiple methods, evaluators
can make more solid judgments regarding teacher performance and make decisions that are supported by
multiple types of data. Student surveys may help the teacher set goals for continuous improvement (i.e., for
formative evaluation). Surveys provide feedback directly to the teacher for the purpose of professional growth
and development. Student surveys may also be used to provide information to evaluators that may not be
accurately obtained during observation or through other types of documentation.
The surveys ask students to report on items they have directly experienced. Three different versions of the
student survey (Grades 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12) will be provided. The versions are designed to reflect developmental
differences in students’ ability to provide useful feedback regarding their teacher. All surveys are to be
completed anonymously to promote honest feedback. In addition, all surveys are examined to ensure they are
written at an appropriate readability level using the Flesch-Kincaid Readability Scale.
An example of survey items is shown in Figure 17.

Purpose of the Survey Protocol
This Survey Protocol provides procedural information as well as detailed instructions for administering the
student surveys. It is imperative that the surveys be administered according to the directions in this manual. If
you have any questions, contact your District Teacher Keys Effectiveness System Site Coordinator or your
Georgia Department of Education Evaluation System Specialist.
Uniform survey administration is needed to ensure high-quality data. To ensure this uniformity, the Survey
Administrator’s responsibilities are clearly outlined and detailed in this protocol. Step-by-step instructions for
administering the surveys are designed to protect the integrity and security and must be followed exactly. It is
recommended that Survey Administrators read this manual and become thoroughly familiar with all survey
administration procedures before administering the surveys.
Survey Security
Surveys may be administered by anyone the Site Administrator deems appropriate. This includes any personnel
such as the regular classroom teacher, paraprofessionals, instructional coaches, media specialists, and or
counselors. The classroom teacher can administer their own surveys by following the survey protocol.
Survey conditions, especially the supervision and seating arrangements of students, should be designed to
maximize anonymity and encourage students to respond honestly. The Survey Administrator must supervise the
survey administration at all times. All instances of survey irregularities must be reported to the building
administrator immediately. If questions arise, or if any situations occur that could cause any part of the survey
administration to be compromised, the district coordinator should be notified. The appropriate district staff
should contact the GaDOE Division of Teacher and Leader Effectiveness for guidance as needed or appropriate.
Administration of the Survey
If a common media center or computer lab is not available, the Survey Administrator will need to identify a
location where the survey can be administered to small groups of students based on the number of available
computers. All appropriate accommodations need to be made for students with disabilities and English
Language Learners.
Students are able to comprehend at a higher level when listening to the survey items read aloud. Therefore, it is
considered appropriate for the readability of 3-5 surveys to be written at a slightly higher readability level. All
students in Grades 3-5 will have the surveys read aloud. Survey items for all students have read aloud
capability within the electronic platform.
All appropriate accommodations need to be made for students with disabilities and English Language Learners,
based on Individual Education Plans (IEPs) or language instruction education plans (extended time, read aloud,

dual language dictionaries, etc.). Students with severe/profound disabilities, if sampled for participation in the
surveys, may or may not participate, with needed accommodations, as determined to be appropriate by the IEP
committee. Surveys will be read to Visually Impaired students. A secure protocol for entering the student
responses from a Braille survey into the electronic platform is provided for educators.
Auditory devices may also be utilized. The use of a toggle switch within the electronic platform will allow the
survey to be read through headphones for any student requiring this accommodation. Additionally, the
electronic platform provides translation into other languages through use of a drop down menu allowing the
student to select from a list of multiple languages.
Districts will have multiple options for selecting survey windows. From October to March an open survey
window will be available for schools to select a time frame that does not interfere with testing or other uses of
computer labs, etc. The multiple survey options will accommodate courses taught only during first semester,
only during second semester, all year, or for shorter segments within the school year. The appropriate survey
window for a course and/or teacher sample will be selected by the district or principal. Surveys may also be
administered multiple times during the year at the district’s or principal’s discretion.
All surveys will be administered using the GaDOE TLE Electronic Platform.
Surveys will be administered in the following manner.
In self-contained classes (e.g., elementary teachers, special education teachers) all students will be surveyed
unless otherwise determined by the IEP committee including the classroom teacher or case manager, a school
administrator, and the parent.
In departmentalized settings (e.g., some upper elementary, middle and high school teachers, elementary PE and
music teachers), the principal will select students to be surveyed by class periods. There is a possibility that
students may be selected to complete surveys on more than one teacher, but no student should be sampled to
respond to surveys on more than two teachers in any given survey administration period.
In non-departmentalized elementary staff and self-contained teachers, all students will be surveyed.
In departmentalized elementary and multi-class (art, music, PE, etc.) teachers, the principal shall choose at least
two class periods per year consisting of different students during which all students in these class periods will
complete the survey.
In middle school and high school classes, the principal shall choose at least two class periods per year consisting
of different students during which all students will complete the survey so that those surveyed are representative
of the students the teacher is teaching.
In resource or self-contained special education, ESOL, etc., classes, the principal shall schedule a time when all
appropriate students taught by these teachers can complete the survey.

Preparing for the Survey
Before administering the surveys, the Survey Administrator ensures the following:
Survey login key and passcode information is created for students to access the survey. (See appendices
for GaDOE TLE Electronic Platform Quick Reference Guide - School Administrators.)
All computers are ready for students to access the survey.
The seating arrangement allows for complete anonymity.
There is a planned activity for those students who complete the survey more quickly (return to their
classroom, read a book, etc.).
Administering the Survey
Administration time: 20-30 minutes anticipated
NOTE: The survey is NOT timed. Students may take as much time as necessary to complete the survey.

Following Survey Administration
Use of Survey Data
A building administrator must log on to the GaDOE TLE Electronic Platform and verify that the number of
surveys completed for each teacher is consistent with the number of students intended to be surveyed. All
surveys must be complete by March 31st. The Survey Administrator and any scheduled proctors should refrain
from discussing any of the items and associated student responses.
Surveys of Instructional Practice will provide documentation in the form of data that is required for Standards 3,
4, 7, and 8. This documentation may be used to inform formative evaluations and must be used to inform
summative assessment ratings for those standards. Prior to the closing of the survey window on March 31st ,
but as soon as the completion of 15 surveys for a particular teacher is complete, the results will be accessible in
the teacher’s evaluation plan on the GaDOE TLE Electronic Platform.
If the TAPS rating on any of the standards for which survey data is provided differs significantly from the rating
that would be indicated by those data, the evaluator is required to provide written justification within the
GaDOE TLE Electronic Platform to explain why the performance rating on the standard is not aligned with the
survey data.
To gain valid survey results, a minimum of 15 students shall complete the survey for their teacher; student data
cannot be disaggregated for groups smaller than 15 for confidentiality purposes to protect the anonymity of
respondents. Teachers (i.e. collaborative gifted teacher), who cannot utilize the Surveys of Instructional Practice
based on the procedures established for the students he or she teaches, will not have this type of data to
supplement the documentation or inform the ratings on the TAPS performance Standards 3, 4, 7, and 8.
Survey Results
Survey results will be compiled within the GaDOE TLE Electronic Platform and must be utilized as
documentation to support annual performance ratings. All surveys must be completed by March 31st. A
summary of results for each item will be provided to individual teachers. Figure 18, The Survey Results
Summary Sheet will include:
The number of students with valid responses for each survey item.
The percentage of rating for each response scale level for each survey item. (Yes, Sometimes, No for
Grades 3-5; Strongly Agree, Agree, Disagree, Strongly Disagree for Grades 6-12).
The teacher, school, district, and state mean, the median, and the standard deviation compared to all
other teachers at that grade level band (3-5, 6-8, and 9-12) for each survey item.
