Tripod Surveys
The CEP employs Tripod survey assessments to obtain P-12 students’ feedback on their experience with our student teachers. Tripod survey assessments capture key dimensions of classroom life and teaching practice as students experience them. Using Tripod survey assessments, gives the EPP the ability to measure student perceptions regarding the teaching effectiveness of our student teachers. In addition, Tripod survey assessments measure student engagement and student satisfaction.
