I've been playing around with a tool called SurveyMonkey. I want to make a survey that English teachers working in Korea can take, as a sort of way to rate and collect data about how English teachers feel about the schools they're working in. I'm just playing around with it, at this point. Partly, my interest in this is lies in the fact that I fully intend to renew somewhere in Korea, but can't decide where - I just know that, as things stand currently, I'm not likely to want to renew at Hongnong, specifically.
But I've actually been thinking about this for a long time. There is such a dearth of good, structured information about how English teachers feel about their teaching / working environments. I hate websites like DavesESL, because the tone there tends to be profoundly unprofessional, and frankly, I don't trust the things people write about schools or hagwon on sites like that, because of that.
So I've created a "first draft" of a survey that asks questions about teaching / working experience. It's not meant to be exhaustive - it's just focused on my specific areas of interest, and my specific anxieties, at the moment. Maybe over time, I'll expand it into something "real." We'll see. Here's the survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SWB7NWW
