I really felt good about class this week, using the z-tables. This actually made sense to me and I could see how you could break down your data into pieces to analyze each section. I was able even to help my partner with the process and explain it on our homework this week, and that was some confirmation to me about my understanding.
The second part of the work from this week excited me, because of the relevancy to what is going on around the state with the Budget Repair Bill and Governor Walker. I knew though that our survey had to be personalized to what we wanted to do and couldn't simply copy the work done by professional surveys gather people's opinions on the issue.
What Denise and I ended up doing was to survey our school districts to determine where they are getting their information and how well/poorly is their local union doing in communicating out information.
This should be an interesting survey to review afterward. I would also have like to have a chance to see the difference in answers between the Oregon teachers and those in Winter. Unfortunately the sample coming out of Winter was a little too small to make any broad based conclusions about the difference between the two.
