[MLTI-MS] IMPORTANT MESSAGE ABOUT MLTI SURVEY

[Brown, Laura]

We've received several emails regarding the ability to connect to the
web site Survey Monkey (see email below for earlier announcements/survey
links).  We discovered that Survey Monkey made several upgrades to their
site over the weekend and are experiencing very slow performance as a
result.  
 
We ask that you try again later this week, and even as early as
tomorrow.  Some schools have been able to get through (thank you again
for participating!), but for those of you who haven't been able to
connect, rest assured that the web site is working on a fix right now.  
 
As long as you are able to complete the surveys before the end of the
day, next Monday, June 4th, we should be okay.  
 
Thanks very much for your patience, attention, and participation!

RE: MLTI Survey Data Needed Please

As the school year comes to a close, we are once again asking for your
participation in having your 7th and 8th grade teachers, and their
students, complete the online MLTI surveys referenced below.  The
surveys will not take students more than 10 minutes to complete.

The survey results will enable us to determine how students have used
the MLTI devices over the course of the 2006-2007 school year.  The
results will also be used to report to the Commissioner and Legislature,
to gather evidence for use in applying for grant funds and to provide
feedback to Maine educators.  All schools who participate in both the
Fall 2006 (7th grade students only) and Spring 2007 surveys will receive
a report showing the pre- and post- survey results for their school as
well as a comparison with other participating schools throughout the
state.

Student Survey: http://www.cepare.usm.maine.edu/surveys/mltistudent.htm 
Teacher Survey: http://www.cepare.usm.maine.edu/surveys/mltiteacher.htm

Surveys should be completed by June 4, 2007.

Please be assured that any and all information provided will be kept
completely confidential.

Any questions can be directed to me at 624-6769,
bmanchester at mainelearns.org or to the external evaluation team at the
University of Southern Maine, 1-888-800-5044, cepare at usm.maine.edu.

Thank you in advance for your participation.
