What happens when students are asked to answer the questions about all their teachers and they have different opinions about individual teachers?
Experience of this and other surveys suggests that students in Years 5 – 12 are able to realistically generalise in forming an opinion about a group of teachers, in the same way that parents do when they respond to the parent opinion survey and staff do in the staff opinion survey. As the data is not intended for discussion relating to individual teacher performance the fact that it is generalised is not a disadvantage.
