For the 2008-09 School Year, the Albuquerque Public Schools (APS) and the Albuquerque Teachers Federation (ATF) agreed to evaluate the continued pilot model of professional development/in-service days begun the previous year – three days of district-wide professional development and one day of teacher preparation for all A-schedule employees (those providing services to students). As part of this evaluation, these individualized reports are provided to trainers so they have information that may help modify and improve their sessions.

January, 2009District Professional Development Satisfaction Survey

For the January 2009 training, school training focused on AIMS in the morning and Data Coach in the afternoon. A total of 459 middle school personnel completed the survey, for a response rate of approximately 35%.

Comments among all participants district-wide were largely negative due especially to the lack of data within the AIMS and Data Coach systems and the lack of sufficient opportunity to practice during the training.

Future desired professional development topics for middle school personnel include: specialized training for particular teacher groups (e.g. EA's, PE and Special Education teachers), teacher collaboration, further AIMS training, curricular mapping, graphing software, subject area training, time management, TIENET, site-created PD, and time to work in one's own classroom.

Among all middle school staff district-wide, most reported AIMS training to be useful (about 80%) and well presented (about 70%). However, there seems to be room for improvement; by about a 2 to 1 margin, most respondents "agreed" rather than "strongly agreed" with positive statements related to AIMS. Not surprisingly, only about 15% of middle school personnel report any familiarity with AIMS before the training, compared to about 78% after the training - though most report only a "medium" level of understanding after the training. Comments as well as a lower response rate suggest many middle school staff did not receive Data Coach training. Of those that did, most reported Data Coach training to be useful (about 77%) and well presented (about 70%). Again, most respondents "agreed" rather than "strongly agreed" with positive statements related to Data Coach, this time by about a 3 to 1 margin. About 30% of middle school personnel report any familiarity with Data Coach before the training, compared to about 78% after the training. And again, most report only a "medium" level of understanding after the training.
