How to Design a Pilot Study

Picture Me Thinking has all the tools you need to design a pilot study: Surveys, Assessments and Reflection Tools.  

Teacher Survey:

The Teacher Survey is offered three times to assess the benefits of the PMT course. It is given 1) before taking the course, 2) upon completion of the course, and 3) one month following completion.

The Survey assesses teacher satisfaction and progress on eight factors. The first four factors are used for pre-course assessment. The full eight factors are used for post-course and post-instructional practice assessments:

  1. Clarity on inquiry-to-writing instructional design.
  2. Confidence in instructional planning and delivery.
  3. Agility in response to student learning.
  4. Resources for inquiry-to-writing academic content.
  5. Adoption of the PMT Model by teachers and students.
  6. Effectiveness of using the Model to frame instruction.
  7. Outcomes based on PMT student assessment tools.
  8. Significance of providing inquiry-to-writing instruction.
