1. Needs Assessment for a Graduate Program in History

 
Eastern Washington University is working with the Rural Alliance on a grant proposal to offer its Masters in History program online.

Our plan is to offer a flexible program with all of the classes needed for an MA available largely online with one weekend meeting in Cheney or Spokane. We hope that such a program will meet the needs of rural teachers in the public schools. The grant would pay for tuition and books and perhaps for travel expenses for the weekend meetings.

To get the grant, we need to show that there is in fact a demand for such a program. Please take a moment to fill out this simple 15 question survey. You do not have to be a high school teacher, we want the program to be available to teachers of American history content at every grade level.

2. What is your highest level of education?
