  1. Tammy, this looks really good! My only suggestions would be to not overlook the importance of teacher and student reflections, observations by teachers of student behavior/grades, and providing samples of teacher and student work using the boards. All of these types of data help to provide a clearer picture of what was taking place and give you more feedback than just surveys. :-D

    Looking forward to reading more!
