Student survey: Democratic Values(personal freedoms, academic opportunity, and equality)
April 2010
No Name please
1. What is your definition of personal freedom?
2. Can you express your range of personal freedoms in Marcia’s class? Give specific examples.
3. How would you define fair and impartial treatment?
4. Tell of a time or situation where you received fair/impartial treatment or did not receive fair treatment in the classroom?
5. What is your definition of equality of opportunity(academic opportunity)?
6. Give examples of academic opportunity you’ve have in the classroom.
7. Is there anything you would like to change about your current classroom?
The ranges of personal freedoms-I did with my class as a group activity(discipline codes included). In addition, my students wrote essays on their feelings about suspension from listed infractions(Blue Book on discipline codes for NYCDOE). Dr. Turner and Brian provided some coding ideas for the essays and I found another teacher to code the data with me.
Jeta and Christy and Dr. Turner
Are there any questions I need to add(or delete)?
Okay ladies, happy research!!!

This looks good, Marcia. I'm excited to see the students' responses. In question 5, it looks like you're lumping together equality and academic opportunity (but you have these as different facets of democratic values at the top). Is this purposeful? Or should you see what the kids think of them as separate values?
