 * Staff Survey**

Over the past two years, our district strategic plan has called for the integration of "21st Century Skills" into appropriate areas of the curriculum. As you may know, I am working on a building/department response through a 21st Century Skills framework for our English Language Arts Curriculum. In order for the framework to best represent our department, I am asking for your input and participation in the development process. Your feedback will be seriously considered. I will be the only one who has access to identifiers associated with this survey. Results will be reported from the department as a whole, not by individual responses. Please answer to the best of your ability. This data will be used for my doctoral project completed in conjunction with the University of Delaware.


 * //I sincerely appreciate your time and effort.//**

Thank you, Abby Shubert

Our district's definition of "21st Century Skills" is based on the following document: [|framework_flyer_updated_jan_09_final-1.pdf] An overview can also be found online: []
