[LTER-education] Models of demographic survey of teacher and students ???

[Snow, Pamela M.]

Hi LTER Education types,

I am trying to do the work needed to place equity at the center of our Schoolyard Ecology program recruitment and retention.

In moving toward that goal, I have committed to begin with doing a demographic survey of our existing teacher and student participants through Harvard Forest's Schoolyard Eco. Project.  That way we will have a baseline of where we are at with our outreach to diverse and underrepresented groups both as teachers and students.  From there we can determine our next steps to improve on placing equity at the center, and track our progress over time.

Has anyone already done this at your sites and what resources/sample surveys have you used???

I plan to meet with 2 other folks at Harvard Forest who have offered to work with me on this the week of June 22.  It would be great if I have some examples of possible approaches by then.

Thanks so much for any resources related to surveying and analyzing demographic information, ideally related to K-12 but okay to share undergrad related information that can be modified to K-12.
