  1. Interesting. How are you going to measure this? Do your students switch teachers for the same subject? Like take part A with one teacher and part B with another teacher. I guess I am not sure what you are trying to obtain from this--just confused.

  2. I have to agree with Patti. I guess I just don't understand how you're measuring a teacher's "attitude". Will your results indicate negative and positive aspects of each teacher's attitude? If so, I assume the names of teachers you are observing in your research will not be shared at the staff meeting. I also wonder if there's a plan for improvements regarding any negative results you find.
