<b>To the Individual with the Primary Responsibility for Hiring Teachers: </b>

Thank you for logging on to complete this survey.

My name is Stephen C. Smith, and I am a doctoral student in Educational Administration and Supervision at the University of Virginia. As part of my
|
|
dissertation, I am studying the issue of teacher shortages in Virginia. My goal is to collect data from the individuals hiring teachers at the local
|
|
level and then to share an analysis of that data with all respondents and with legislators and educational policy makers at the state level.
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
In a pilot study this survey took about 15 minutes to complete.
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
The information collected in this survey is in four sections:
|
|
<br> <ol>
|
|
<li>three demographic questions,
|
|
<li>perceptions of the existing supply of teachers in identified shortage areas,
|
|
<li>perceptions of the impact of state-level strategies to address shortages of qualified teachers and suggestions for state-level legislators and policy
|
|
makers regarding changes to these strategies, and
|
|
<li>innovative strategies local school divisions are planning or are currently implementing in order to address teacher shortages.
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<br>
|
|
The information from this survey will be confidential. Neither your name, nor the name of your school division will be reported. The results will be
|
|
dissaggregated by the demographic information requested in section I. Thank you for taking the time to supply valuable data for my study. Each response
|
|
I receive adds to the weight of the survey results. Please call me at (804) 522-3700, ext. 134 or email me at smithsc@admin.lynchburg.org if you have any
|
|
questions or concerns.
