Dr. Suzanne Dillon:

There is not an awful lot more to add other than that we are piloting them. They have been met very well by the system and there is a high participation rate among teachers, of the order of 68% to 72%. The nature of the pilot phase is that we are testing the question set that we offer. Through the pilot phase we have revised the question set, and starting in February we are running a new set of questions. To ensure we give teachers the opportunity to tell us what they want to tell us, we have included an open comment box and it will be interesting to see what comments we get. Because this is the pilot phase of the questionnaires, they do not inform the evaluations that they accompany because we are using them as an instrument to test the question set and the administration of the questionnaires - the process by which we do that. I am the sole owner of the data that comes in and I have a look at it but, as a courtesy to schools, once the report is issued we will send the school an aggregated report on what its teachers have been saying about it.
