International Options • Participation in Regional Modules:
General Issues • Teacher Survey • Sending Teacher Questionnaires to school principal for distribution might increase response rate (but School Coordinator might collect questionnaires) • Incentives (through lottery) • Scanning • Some countries interested in scanning instruments • See SOP Unit 3 for guidelines and suggestions • On-line data collection: will be used by 8 countries
Data Management • Keep in mind that MS sample is ~6 times bigger! A lot more administration to arrange, more scoring and more data • Do make backup copies! • Please announce upload of material by sending email(also confirm completion of SAQ/NCQ via email) • Plan for communication round after data submission using cleaning reports
