SURVEY RESULTS AND REMARKS

Evaluation Survey: Youth Photography and Upgrading
Pilot Project

This survey is anonymous – please take your time and be very honest!

For each 1 to 5 rating, 1 is very dissatisfied, 5 is very satisfied.

1. Rate your satisfaction with the learning environments you have previously experienced.

• High School 1 2 3 4 5 - 3 circled 1, 2 circled 3, 1 circled 4
• Upgrading 1 2 3 4 5 - 2 circled 4, 1 circled 5
• Drivers Ed 1 2 3 4 5 - no responses
• Work training 1 2 3 4 5 - 1 circled 3, 1 circled 4

2. Rate your satisfaction with your learning experience in this pilot project:
1 2 3 4 5 - 1 circled 3, 1 circled 4, 4 circled 5

Remarks: Most students had come from self-described bad times at highschool. Their satisfaction with other The Photography Project and other Upgrading was much higher, in part due to the structure and content of these alternative learning programs, but also partly as a function of age and receptivity to learning.
