We appreciate your participation in the Evaluation of Teacher Residency Programs (TRPs) for the U.S. Department of Education.

• You may skip any questions you do not wish to answer; however, we hope that you answer as many questions as you can.

• While you are not required to respond, your cooperation is needed to make the results of this survey comprehensive and accurate.

Per the policies and procedures required by the Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002, Title I, Part E, Section 183, responses to this data collection will be used only for statistical purposes. The reports prepared for this study will summarize findings across the sample and will not associate responses with a specific district or individual.
