Abstract: The data will assess the support needs of Curriculum and Principals in each of seven states: Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming. The survey will focus on their needs for support in the various areas: obtaining, understanding and utilizing educational research, in-service needs, developing leadership and management capabilities in the staff, improvement plans and interventions. It will also determine the perceptions of the importance for McREL to fund such initiatives in support of these areas.
