Pre and Post Survey for the Career Choices curriculum
The motivation to learn and the understanding of why education is important are key indicators
in predicting how well a student will do in school. Change reluctant learners’ attitudes about the
value of education, and you’ll see grades rise, dropout rates decrease and test scores increase.
But how do you measure students’ attitudinal shifts? The pre and post survey for the Career
Choices curriculum is a good place to start. Administered on the first day or two of class (before
the content of Career Choices is started) and then again at the end of the course, the
comparison of student responses will provide a measure of progress, both on an individual level
and the overall success of your course.
Academic Innovations has created an electronic scoring tool, to help you streamline this
process. This tool found below, was meant to be used by the instructor who must have their
students take the survey by paper and pencil. *
Upon completion of the evaluation process, you’ll be able to generate a variety of reports that
maps the progress your students are making toward valuing education, envision a productive
future and develop realistic plans. This will be valuable if your Career Choices program is
funded by an outside source that requires an evaluation component.
In addition the reports will red flag students who may need more encouragement and individual support from counselors and advisors.

surveys online, making the scoring even more streamlined. Click here to learn more. |
