FLOW Capacity Survey

Description

We committed to conducting a survey to get a better understanding of activity and gaps in FLOW capacity  within the broader educators community.

1. Contact organizations that may have conducted surveys to find out what they learned and to see if they are willing to share their survey instruments.
2. Prepare an instrument for a global survey (perhaps we should discussion regionalization of the instruments as well?)
3. We want to make sure we keep our work mufti-lingual as appropriate. Joseph & Ian agreed to have the survey instrument translated into eloquent French and Spanish (The commitment can extend to reporting an executive summary of results.)
4. We discussed "co-branding" of survey activity.  We felt generally that co-branding with involved organizations makes a lot of sense (profile raising, better acceptance with recognized organizations leading to better survey participation and results, nature of inclusiveness, value of participation, etc.)
5. We discussed a time line resulting in the execution of the survey before the new year.
