Dear _______________,

Thank you for agreeing to participate in the REL Central Study on Characteristics of Feedback to 

Teachers. As part of this study, you are being asked to complete an online survey about your 

perceptions of the feedback that you received from your evaluator as part of your district’s teacher 

evaluation system. Your feedback is critical because it will help district and state leaders refine 

their understanding of feedback in teacher evaluation systems and to inform future training and 

guidance for evaluators.

The survey is expected to take 30 minutes to complete. You may access the survey by clicking on 

the following link, or typing it into your Web browser: https://aaa.bbbbbb.org. (This website will be 

established after the data collection is approved.)

Per the policies and procedures required by the Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002, Title I, Part 

E, Section 183, responses to this data collection will be used only for statistical purposes. The 

reports prepared for this study will summarize findings across the sample and will not associate 

responses with a specific school, district, or individual. We will not provide information that 

identifies you or your school or district to anyone outside the study team, except as required by 

law. Any willful disclosure of such information for nonstatistical purposes, without the informed 

consent of the respondent, is a Class E felony. Please contact a Marzano Research Laboratory

representative at 303-766-9199 if you would prefer to receive a paper survey to complete, or if you 

no longer wish to participate, and we will remove you from our contact list so that you do not 

receive reminders to complete the survey.

Thank you,

Trudy L. Cherasaro

Senior Researcher 

Marzano Research Laboratory
