School District U-46 Elementary Language Arts Literacy Framework Survey
Results
Created and distributed by the
District Teacher Leader Curriculum LiaisonsBarb Bettis and Lisa Whitmer
November, 2010
Background
In April, 2010, the U-46 Elementary Literacy
Framework and its materials were presented to the
Instructional Council. The Literacy Framework time
frame itself was presented as Informational Only.
The Literacy Framework materials were presented
and approved. Instructional Supplemental
Materials for grades K-6 for Word Analysis were
approved by the U-46 Board of Education on May 3,
2010 Professional Development for the Literacy
Framework and its resources began in May, 2010,
continued through the summer and fall, and
continues as needed.
Rationale
In August, as teacher curriculum liaisons, we
began receiving teacher feedback in regards to
the Literacy Framework, its resources,
professional development and its expectations. As
the year continued, the input from teachers did as
well. The majority of the feedback dealt with
professional development, text-level assessments,
framework implementation, and communication.
In order to capture and reflect the input of the
teachers across the District, the Literacy
Framework Survey was created. The sections
surveyed reflect the feedback received. As
liaisons, we worked with elementary teachers to
craft appropriate questions in order to represent
teacher input as accurately as possible.
The survey results reflect feedback from
elementary teachers only. The survey was
distributed to teachers via district email on
November 1, 2010, and the survey closed on
November 24, 2010. A total of 318 teachers
responded. According to Dr. Rodriguez and Dr.
Ali, the district has approximately 850
elementary teachers for the 2010 school year.
Therefore, the survey reflects approximately
thirty-seven percent of elementary teachers.
The questions pertain to classroom teachers who
were specifically trained on and are
implementing and working within the Literacy
Framework.
Intent
As teacher curriculum liaisons, we provide the
resource to gather overall data reflecting teacher
feedback. The liaison position represents teacher
voice for curriculum initiatives made in the
District. The Elementary Literacy Framework
Survey represents this charge. It is our intent that
this data- as well as other measurements- is used
in all curriculum venues in order to make informed
decisions regarding the Elementary Literacy
Framework.
