Questionnaire for Teacher Level Factors in INSTRUCTION
These questions are specific to instructional practices.
The answer rating scale has three separate parts:
*Do I engage in this practice?
*How will change increase achievement of students? and
*How much effort would this take?
Please answer reflectively and with a goal of self-evaluation in mind.
