Evaluation Tools

The TIM system includes a variety of different data collection tools, both quantitative and qualitative, designed to inform decision-making and alignment of resources at the classroom, school, and district levels. These tools include:

Technology Uses and Perceptions Survey (TUPS)

This survey is designed to gain a better understanding of how educators use technology in their teaching, their level of experience with technology, and their comfort with and attitudes toward technology.

Results from this survey help identify professional development needs at the teacher, school, or larger aggregate levels.

Survey sections include:

The Technology Integration Matrix Observation Tool (TIM-O)

This tool is designed to guide principals, teachers, and others through the process of evaluating the level of technology integration within a particular lesson. When completed, the tool indicates a profile for the observed lesson in terms of the Technology Integration Matrix. With multiple observations, the TIM-O helps evaluators get a clear picture of the professional development needs of the teacher to support further technology integration.
