A survey has been designed to capture data about all tools currently used to conduct all educational tasks discussed during the March 6th retreat. In the survey, each school will be asked if the current definition of tasks meets the needs of the school and if any additional characteristics should be included. The worksheet outlines the information which each school should gather about each task.
