BASIC SURVEYS AVAILABLE FROM BB&C
There are four basic surveys for use at the school building level and one survey – the Community Survey – for use at the district level (to address the requirements of NCA district accreditation).
1.
Parent Survey
2.
Staff Survey
3.
Student Survey I
4. Student Survey II
Student Survey I is designed fopr students in grades 3-5 (although it has been used successfully at the 1st and 2nd grade levels).
Student Survey II is designed for
students in grades 6-12.
If you order a student survey, we send you both versions at the single survey price. (Some of our client schools have grade configurations that include both grades five and six. These schools – whether they are K-6, K-12, or some other configuration – use both surveys.)
The Parent, Student II, and Staff surveys
are designed to be administered as written questionnaires.
The Student I survey (for grades
3-5) is designed to be administered by a classroom teacher or another
responsible adult. Students are provided
with an answer sheet on which to record their responses.
PRICING INFORMATION
Master copies of the Student I, Student
II, Parent, and Staff Surveys are $95 each or all four for $235. (You
can make as many copies as you need from each master.) Each survey master that you purchase can be
used twice by your school (e.g., as a benchmark survey and then as a follow-up
in two or three years ... or at the conclusion of the accreditation process).
Each of the master surveys is registered to a school (not a school district), and may be used only by that school.
What does BB&C charge to code and tabulate the surveys?
We charge 95 cents per questionnaire
(with a $250 minimum charge) to computer process your data. This charge includes coding the written
responses to the open-end or free response questions.
We do not charge a minimum of
$250 for each survey that you send us. Rather,
it applies to the grand total number of questionnaires that we tabulate.
When the tabulation is complete, we
provide you with a printout of the numerical and percentage responses for each
question in the questionnaire.
Can BB&C provide cross-tabulations of the data?
Yes.
We can cross-tab and variables.
For example, we can tell you how all females or all 11th
graders, or all 6th grade parents answered all the questions. You decide which variables, if any, you want
cross-tabulated. Cross-tabulations of
data are $50 each.
What does BB&C charge to conduct an analysis and prepare a report?
We charge $900 for a first survey report,
$600 for the second report, and $500 for each additional survey report. For example, if you want an analysis and
report for one survey – student, parent, community, or staff – the
charge is $900. If you want an analysis
and report for two surveys, the charge is $900 + $600 or $1,500. If you want an analysis and report for three
surveys, the charge is $900 + $600 + 500 or $2,000.
If you administer both student
surveys, we only charge an analysis and report fee for one.
For the first analysis and report, the $900 fee provides you with a frequency run and percentages and an Executive Summary that includes…
-- a graphic display of your composite scores (including Organizational Effectiveness, Transition Competencies, Learning Expectations, and Instructional Adequacy) which we develop with our proprietary formula. Your composite scores will be displayed against the running average scores of other schools that have completed the survey.
-- Focal Points, BB&C’s recommendations regarding areas needing priority attention.
For each additional analysis and report, the fee provides you with a frequency run and percentages and an Executive Summary that includes…
-- a graphic display of composite scores (using our proprietary formula) for each survey. Your composite scores will be displayed against the running average score of other schools that have completed the survey.
-- a comparison of student, staff, and/or parent surveys on our proprietary Instructional Adequacy composite. We’ll also provide you with mean scores on each of the dimensions of the Instructional Adequacy composite
-- graphic displays showing comparable composite scores for the parent and high school student surveys.
-- comparisons of matching questions from the parent and high school student surveys (allowing you to see how parents and students answered similar questions).
-- Focal
Points, BB&C’s
recommendations regarding areas needing priority attention.
What if we want to conduct a survey at each school in our school district?
The questionnaires are designed to be licensed to a single school. Hence, every school would need to purchase the master questionnaires, and contract for coding, tabulation, and/or report services.
We do, however, provide a cost-saving option for districts. It is only available if we code and tabulate the data and write reports. We treat the entire district as a “school.” Each school in the school district administers the questionnaires. We code and tabulate the data and write a report for the school district. Then, we cross-tabulate the data by school. This results in a master report for the district and cross-tabulations of the data for each school. Hence, the district gets a report and each school receives its data tabulation!
The costs associated with this
option are: 1) the purchase of one
master copy of each questionnaire; 2) 95
cents per completed questionnaire (answer sheet) that we code and tabulate;
3) regular report charges; and, 4) $50 for
each cross-tabulation of the data. Call
us at 586/784-9888 if you would like to explore this option.
Can I tabulate, analyze, and process the surveys myself?
Once you purchase a questionnaire, you can tabulate it (code open-end questions and computer process the data), analyze it, and write your own report of findings.
Or, you can contract with BB&C
to tabulate your surveys.
Or, you can contract with BB&C
to tabulate your surveys and write
a report (which includes proprietary composite scores, an analysis, comparisons
against the running average of other schools, and an Executive Summary of the findings).
