Developing Surveys Excerpt 1: Survey Research Process and Collaborative Survey Development
Developing and administering surveys are one way that states, districts, and schools can collect desired data to inform education policy and practice. Yet many education leaders do not have experience creating custom surveys. REL researchers Clare Irwin and Erin Stafford introduced a five-step collaborative survey development process that enables researchers and practitioners together to write survey items, or adapt items from existing measures, to create new survey instruments. Drawing from a newly published series of guides on survey methods for educators, the facilitators walked participants through each of the five steps, illustrating them with real-world examples.
