1 **Appendix C** Teacher Professional Development Survey The survey

will be available online. The online survey will be designed with conditional branching, so that subsequent questions change based on how respondents answer earlier question s. Specifically, if respondents check “Small group or grade - level professional development” in response to question 3, they will be asked to answer questions 6 and 7 that relate to the small group or grade level professional development they attended in mathematics . The survey

program stores the teacher responses and aligns the data with the unique teacher identifier. This version of the survey is worded to capture PD experience at baseline as recalled b y teachers from the prior academic year (August 2013 - August 2014) . This baseline version will be given in August 2014. A slightly modified version will ask the same questions, but specif ically in reference to the prior month . The month specified in each question (where appropriate ) will be modified to specify the month of interest (e.g. , “during October 2014.” ). The monthly versions will be given the end of each month from September 2014 through April 2015.2 Teacher Professional Development Survey This survey

is intended to help you document the professional development activities in mathematics you participated in during the previous academic year ( for baseline, or <previous month>). For thi s survey, professional development (als o known as staf f development , in- service training) refers to a variety of activities intended to enhance yo ur professional knowledge and skills, including trainings, workshops, institutes, conferenc e sessions , colleg e courses , coaching/mentoring , and smal l grou p or grade leve l professional development in mathematics .
