The survey results contain data on a wide variety of aspects of school conditions and it can often be overwhelming to know where to start and how to proceed in a manner that maximizes participants' time. To assist with this challenge, a series of tools have been developed to provide you with a system to organize and approach the processing of your school's data, help you reflect on those variables which contributed to your score, and ultimately engage in meaningful and safe discussion about ways you can address and ultimately improve your teacher working conditions.

After reviewing the materials in the school improvement guide, you may find it more useful to be able to access smaller portions of the materials for quicker access and less printing. The TELL Colorado School Improvement Guide has been broken down into four smaller sections.

The Facilitator's Guide sections contains the outline to a drilldown process of examination and discussion of the TELL Colorado Survey results. It includes facilitator strategies for approaching the process, descriptions of how to utilize handouts and worksheets, and written facilitator prompts to lead discussions with school staff. Writing in italics provides a suggested script for facilitators who are less comfortable with the process.

The Facilitator's Handouts section includes all the documents referenced in the Facilitator's Guide. This section includes tools that help participants better understand how to read and interpret the survey data. In cases where worksheets are complex, examples have been included to assist the learner development.

The third section contains the TELL Colorado Individual Item Prompts. These tools are available for participants once they are at a point in their data reflection that an examination of specific survey items is required. The tools include descriptive information on many of the survey items, instructions for how to use the materials and a series of question prompts to stimulate thought and dialog around the survey item being addressed. The section is divided up into the nine survey factor areas for easier reference.
