What do Teacher’s Say?

The Teacher Opinion Survey, as administered in 2014, encompasses some very BIG IDEAS about the role of the??arts in education in A+ Schools. The process of this research reported in four reliable scales:

  1. Positive Student Outcomes
  2. Collaboration
  3. Teacher as Artist
  4. Arts Instruction

TOS 2014 Take-aways:

– Oklahoma educators hold positive views about the arts in education and other core A+ principles.

-Educators feel strongly about the ways that this approach supports student learning

-Educators express positive opinions about the value of the arts as a separate discipline as well as an integrated subject.

– The level of collaboration seems to increase when schools have greater engagement within the Oklahoma A+ Schools?? network.

-The Oklahoma A+?? model is SUSTAINABLE.?? Longitudinal data show that educators??? attitudes have remained generally positive and have been consistent across ten years.

 

NOTE:?? This report is a continuation of research that began in 2002.?? This study would not be possible without the previous work of OKA+ Schools?? staff; researchers from the University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University, and the University of Central Oklahoma; and many others who have contributed to this work over the years.
