Teacher MWEE Questionnaire - response and nonresponse

ATTACHMENT 2: Email Correspondence with Grantees and Teacher Participants
Grantee Pre‐notification

Dear ${m://FirstName} ${m://LastName},
As a recipient of a grant from NOAA B-WET (Award Number ${e://Field/AwardPanel}), we
would like your organization, ${e://Field/Organization}, to participate in our national evaluation
system. The evaluation results will provide insight into how we can improve the NOAA B-WET
program and tailor our services to you and the teachers and students you serve.
All grantees will receive an online survey at the end of their award year. If your organization
provides B-WET-funded professional development (PD) for teachers, we will also collect
teacher contact information from you (email addresses only) so that we can survey
them following their PD, and again at the end of the school year following their PD. All of the
results that are viewed by NOAA B-WET staff will be aggregated at the regional or national
level, and we will not review individual organizations’ or teachers’ results.
Additional information about this project, including background, FAQs, survey instruments, and
suggested text for communicating with your teacher participants about this project, is available
on the B-WET National Evaluation website here: http://www.noaa.gov/officeeducation/bwet/grantee-resources/national-evaluation
Thank you in advance for your participation in NOAA B-WET's evaluation system!

development.

an online questionnaire. The questionnaire will ask for your opinion of the professional
development and how well-prepared you feel to teach students about water bodies and
watersheds. The questionnaire will take about 20-30 minutes to complete.
At the end of the school year following the completion of the professional development, you will
receive a request to complete a follow-up questionnaire. That questionnaire will ask you whether
you taught your students about water bodies and watersheds and what additional resources you
need.
Your responses will be anonymous. None of the data you provide will be associated with your
name or other identifying information.
