A Program Evaluation of Unified Sports in Elementary Schools
Coaches:
For the evaluation you are asked to complete a Coach Questionnaire and weekly practice logs. You will receive the Coach Questionnaire in paper and pencil format at the first practice. Please complete the questionnaire and return it to observers at the next practice. Weekly logs can be completed online after each team practice. Be sure to select the log for the sport that you are coaching. Please remember that all responses are confidential and will not be shared with or influence your involvement with Special Olympics Massachusetts or Unified Sports.
If you experience any difficulties while completing the questionnaires please contact the Beyond the Playing Field Administrator.
Beyond the Playing Field Coaches Questionnaire
The Beyond the Playing Field Coaches Questionnaire asks about your current and prior involvement with Special Olympics and Unified Sports, as well as your perceptions and beliefs about effective coaching techniques. You will be asked to complete the coaches questionnaire prior to the start of the Unified Sports season and after the season ends.
You will be provided the pre-season coaches questionnaire at the first team practice by project staff. Please complete the questionnaire for the following practice, when project staff will collect it.
Beyond the Playing Field Coaches Logs
The weekly logs will ask questions about the activities you conducted during your practices and athlete and partner participation. Each week a link to the new weekly log will be provided. Please complete the log within a few days after practice. Again, when you begin the log you will not be able to save and return to it. The first week’s log is available below.
