Introduction

The U.S. Department of Education’s Policy and Program Studies Service (PPSS) is conducting an evaluation of the Carol M. White Physical Education Program (PEP). As part of this evaluation, this survey asks about the design and implementation of your PEP grant. Your input is critical to understanding the implementation of PEP projects.

Survey Instructions

The survey will take approximately 60 minutes to complete. Not all items in the survey may apply to your PEP grant. Please follow the skip patterns noted next to particular items as you complete the survey – they will tell you whether or not you should skip ahead to a later question. If there is not an arrow next to your response and there is no indication that you should skip ahead, then just continue to the next item.

While this survey is designed for Project Directors of PEP grants, if necessary, please share the survey with other staff members knowledgeable about the project to ensure that the most complete and accurate information is recorded.

As a recipient of a PEP grant, your participation in the study is required under ESEA, Sec. 9306(a) (4). Your responses will be aggregated when presenting findings to the U.S. Department of Education (ED) and for reporting purposes.
