Key Activities to Achieve the Target

1. Develop a Data Collection Plan

Objective: Plan the data collection process to ensure all schools are engaged, and feedback is systematically collected.

Activities:

• Identify Participating Schools: Create a list of all schools involved in the program and ensure each one is contacted for feedback.
• Set Clear Deadlines: Establish specific deadlines for when feedback is due from each school (by February 28).
• Allocate Resources: Ensure there is enough staff or support to handle feedback collection, including survey distribution, interview scheduling, and data analysis.

2. Create and Distribute Feedback Tools

Objective: Ensure that feedback tools (surveys, interviews, etc.) are ready and sent out to all schools for data collection.

Activities:

• Surveys:
  • Develop online surveys with clear, concise questions for teachers and administrators to assess the effectiveness of SayPro’s resources. Use tools like Google Forms, SurveyMonkey, or Typeform to create user-friendly surveys.
  • Include questions that cover key areas, such as:
    • Overall satisfaction
    • Ease of use
    • Impact on student learning
    • Teacher confidence
    • Suggestions for improvement
  • Send out personalized survey links to each participating school, ensuring each teacher and administrator has an opportunity to respond.
• Interviews and Focus Groups:
  • Schedule interviews or focus group discussions with school leadership and select teachers to dive deeper into their experiences and feedback.
  • Prepare a set of open-ended questions that allow for qualitative feedback on the program’s strengths and challenges.

3. Follow Up with Schools

Objective: Ensure a high response rate by following up with schools and encouraging them to participate in the feedback process.

Activities:

• Email Reminders:
  • Send reminder emails to schools that haven’t completed the survey or provided feedback, emphasizing the importance of their input for program improvement.
  • Include a deadline reminder (February 28) in the follow-up communication.
• Phone or Direct Contact:
  • If needed, contact key school representatives (e.g., principals or administrators) directly to ensure they’re aware of the feedback request and encourage their school’s participation.
• Incentives:
  • Offer small incentives (if applicable) to encourage schools to participate, such as recognition of their efforts, a summary of program impact, or a chance to win educational resources.

4. Monitor Response Rates

Objective: Track the progress of feedback collection and adjust the approach as necessary to meet the 80% target.

Activities:

• Track Participation:
  • Keep track of which schools have submitted their feedback and which have not.
  • Set up a system to monitor survey completion rates in real-time (using tools like Google Forms or SurveyMonkey’s reporting features).
• Adjust Outreach:
  • If the response rate is lagging behind, increase outreach efforts by sending additional reminders, making direct calls to schools, or offering support to those that may be struggling with the feedback process.

5. Analyze and Report Data

Objective: Once 80% of schools have provided feedback, analyze the data and prepare reports to assess the program’s impact.

Activities:

• Data Analysis:
  • Once the feedback is collected, perform quantitative and qualitative analysis to identify patterns, insights, and areas for improvement.
  • Generate summary reports to highlight the effectiveness of SayPro’s resources, overall satisfaction, and any recurring challenges or suggestions.
• Feedback Reporting:
  • Compile a comprehensive report on the collected data, including:
    • Summary of key findings: Areas of success, challenges, and opportunities for improvement.
    • Actionable recommendations: Steps to address identified challenges and enhance the program.
    • Impact on schools: Evidence of improvements in teaching or learning outcomes, if available.
