Participant
Feedback
Survey
Results
Each
semester, thousands of volunteers and professional
educators work together to make Junior Achievement the
effective bridge between business and education.
They do so to provide students with a positive sense of
future. The feedback we receive from participants
continues to be positive:
The
overall rating of the JA experience by both educators
and volunteers was 3.8 on a 4.0 scale.
Among educators, nine out of ten reported the JA
experience enabled them to better connect students'
classroom learning with future experiences in the world
of work. JA volunteers consistently indicated they
had a greater appreciation for the education
environment.
Educator
Feedback
"My
JA volunteer bonded with my class because of the way she
responded to their needs. She was a motivated
volunteer and to this day, she still comes to see my
class. They love her and we included her in our
school activities. Thanks for making my class so
happy. A happy class makes for a VERY HAPPY
TEACHER!! Thanks."
"Students really enjoy the
experience of these lessons. They are connected to
the real world and (the JA program) is great for further
discussion."
"Thank you for all that you
do to help us better prepare our students for the
future."
Volunteer Feedback
"I
really believe that us being a part of those kids' week
made an enormous impact. They would get so
excited. It didn't matter WHAT we taught them
(although the curriculum is fabulous), the point was
that we were THERE, consistent, and adding a positive
element to their lives."
"The program I taught will
give a students valuable knowledge for their financial
futures when it comes to investing, choosing insurance,
etc. I loved
it!" |
