Back in July, I blogged about the need for me, a tech director of a small school district in MN, to be more transparent. Below is an update of my progress.

The other part of my goals this year was to develop a 360 survey. After much thought – I decided I wanted to focus on leadership traits. I combined some of the Cosn Framework with statements from Survey Connect’s – Sample Question Library to create a draft of my 360 tool.
I am looking for YOUR feedback on my DRAFT Tech Director’s 360 Feedback Survey. I hope to have a mix of district leadership, educators, and support staff provide me with feedback sometime in Feb. So what do you think about the survey? Is this too much? Too little? What am I missing?
