Conducting the Survey

• Student names

• Students’ school

• Phone numbers

• CTE program areas


Step #4

Interview CTE Graduates

17


• Fill out questionnaires online while interviewinggraduates.

• Avoid having teachers interview their former students.

• Be courteous and friendly when conducting the interview.

• Start early and do not wait until the last minute to conduct the survey.

Best Practices

Improving response rates

• Good student contact information is key.

• Multiple contacts are better than one.

19

Divisions decide contact methods

20

Use a 2-step approach

1. Electronic and/or mail (Send

passwords to students and ask

them to respond online or by mail.)

2. By telephone (Telephone students

who don’t respond.)

21

Get started now for next year

• Prepare students for the upcoming survey.

• Collect contact information before students graduate.

• Consider asking for personal and parent/guardian phone numbers.

• Don’t forget college e-mail addresses.22

The digital divide is real

• Social and digital media are great.

• But sometimes traditional methods

are best.

Step #5
