Teacher Perception Survey Toolkit

The Colorado Education Initiative (CEI) worked closely with 16 partner districts during a pilot process for Colorado’s Teacher Perception Survey (TPS) to identify best practices regarding survey planning, administration, and reporting. This comprehensive toolkit compiles all of the lessons learned and best practices that were gathered from this diverse group of partners.

How to use this toolkit:

Start on the Implement tab and download the TPS planning guide for a comprehensive overview of the entire planning, administration, and results processes.

Throughout the planning guide, materials such as editable templates, checklists, protocols, and PowerPoint presentations are referenced. Those documents are hyperlinked in the guide, and can also be found on the Resources tab.

By utilizing this toolkit, district leaders will learn about:

• The different decision points  involved in survey administration
• How to use the resources to plan an effective survey administration

Careful planning for survey administration ensures that teachers and principals are bought into the process and results can be used effectively to improve practice.

This toolkit compiles lessons learned and best practices and offers a variety of options for finding the right process for your district.
