1. …and 3 Ways to Make it Work!

2.  Hello and welcome to the 99 Days Survey completion tutorial.  The name of this presentation is 99 Days…and 3 Ways to Make it Work.  This tutorial will cover the 3 different ways to access and complete the 99 Days Pre and Post Surveys.

3.  The first way that the 99 Days Pre and Post surveys can be completed is via the paper and pencil method.

4.  For the paper and pencil method all you will need is a Master Copy of the Pre Survey and a Master Copy of the Post Survey.  From the Master copy, additional copies can be made using a copy machine, as needed.  Master copies will be provided to you upon request  If this is your preferred method of survey, contact Kari L. Rice and she will see to it that you have a set of Master copies at your facility.

5.  Upon completion of paper and pencil surveys… all surveys need to be collected and returned to Kari L. Rice in the Central Office for processing  Make sure to bundle all Pre Tests together and all Post Tests Together (try not to mix)  The data will be entered into our records keeping system and then shredded  Student anonymity will be maintained, as DOC numbers will only be used to ensure Pre and Post survey results (matching)

6.  The Benefits No Internet? No problem! – data can still be collected regardless Data on program effectiveness Student progress reporting  The Challenges Making copies and ensuring you have enough on hand Mailing completed information Student motivation

7.  The second way that the 99 Days Pre and Post surveys can be completed is via the computer and the Internet.

8.  A secure Internet connection  Online address for the Pre Survey  Online address for the Post Survey  Time built into the schedule for students to Pre and Post assess

9.  Upon completion of online surveys…information will be calculated electronically, instantaneously.  When the student hits the “Enter” key on the keyboard, the data is computed  If this is your preferred method, contact Kari L. Rice for the Pre Survey Address and the Post Survey Address (do not mix them up)  It will be up to the facility to ensure that all students Pre and Post assess, as via the online method, limited matching will occur.

10.  The Benefits Less time to complete Increased student motivation via electronic means Instant data No paperwork!  The Challenges Ensuring that ALL students Pre and Post assess (some type of facility system to track, possibly a grade for Pre and Post assess) No paper, limited data matching

11.  The third way that the 99 Days Pre and Post surveys can be completed is via the computer in an offline environment.

12.  A Computer  Microsoft Excel 2007 (or 2003) installed  Thumb Drive  Time built into the schedule for students to Pre and Post assess  The offline Pre and Post assessment master template installed on computer desktop  Basic knowledge of how to use the “File- Save As” feature

13.  Make sure you have everything that you need (see previous slide) If you need a thumb drive contact Kari L. Rice To get the offline templates, Tracy L. Chenoweth will email them to you upon your request  Watch the flash demonstration tutorial on how to use the offline template (Pre/Post) Where is the tutorial located? In the OIEP File Cabinet, under the 99 Days section

14.  The Benefits Less time to complete Increased student motivation via electronic means No paperwork Completion data matching No need for facility tracking  The Challenges Getting the items you need in place Learning how to manage files Learning to use the “Save As” feature Teaching students how Organizing information

15.  No matter the method, the data collection will be invaluable  There are benefits and challenges to all three approaches  You need to implement the best choice for your facility
