Activity 6: Share best practices for administering pre/post surveys with students…
Chat in your response
From Shannon Klisch SLO/SB: from her teams’ experiences administering SHCP student pre/post surveys
-Consider standardized test schedules when deciding when to administer the post test to avoid testing fatigue (try to get them in earlier)
-Use only the modules that are applicable, don’t waste their time
-Are there any other best practices that other teams who have collected pre/post data from students would like to share?
