An initial evaluation plan was outlined by a team of QL project directors and evaluation consultants. This plan had seven key components to be investigated by different individuals and teams. One component was a survey to gather descriptive information on participating teachers. the DESCRIPTIVE INFORMATION survey was designed and mailed out by QL staff. Some of the information gathered through the survey is summarized in this report. Another component of the plan was a sample survey, designed to obtain information on both attitude and pedagogy from a large group of teachers. In addition, teachers were to be surveyed about their reactions of the QL training sessions. Students from selected classes of the teachers were also to be surveyed with specially designed instruments. Questions were posed to structure this part of the evaluation and to guide development of appropriate instruments. This report describes how answers to these questions were sought with the teacher and student survey components of the evaluation.
