**Surveys ** Each question on the survey will be carefully analyzed to determine patterns of response by the participants. Those questions that are answered using a Likert scale will be averaged to determine a mean score for the respondents. These responses will be analyzed further based on age, teaching experience, educational degree, and current grade level to determine if those factors are relevant. Open-ended responses will be grouped based on similarities. Checklist responses will be tallied to determine the overall preferences of teachers at Ivy Creek. **Interviews ** Ideally, at least five teachers from various grade levels will volunteer to participate in the interview process. The interviews will be recorded and analyzed to determine patterns of response by the participants. The emerging themes will be coded and anecdotal commentary will be considered when developing professional learning sessions.
