USTAR Teacher and Student Surveys Many of you utilize USTAR funding for after school tutoring, math competitions, and other math extension activities. As part of our reporting this year, we need to survey teachers who earned USTAR funds and students who participated in learning experiences that utilized USTAR funds. (Math lab courses, After School Tutoring, Math Counts, Math Competitions, etc). We apply each year for USTAR funds to pay for these types of activities, and in order to keep them, we need to provide the state with the information they request. Therefore, it is imperative that as many students and teachers as possible who participated in activities funded through USTAR respond to the surveys. We would ask that you send the survey to any student who participated in USTAR funding and request them to complete the survey by this Friday, May 29. We would ask that teachers respond to the survey by June 5, 2020.
