Student surveys. The baseline survey took place in the beginning of the first week of LitCamp. RMC Research provided student assent and survey materials to teachers with detailed instructions for administering the survey to students. Teachers were informed not to give the survey to any student for whom they received a parent opt-out form. The instructions provided information about having students remove the assent form and separate it from the survey prior to completing the survey. The assent forms were kept separate from the surveys and mailed back to RMC Research. Students’ names were not attached to their survey; only an identification number was on the survey for matching their survey data to other data at RMC Research. The follow-up survey was administered the last week of LitCamp only to students who had completed a baseline survey. RMC Research provided student survey materials to teachers with detailed instructions for administering the survey to students. A cover sheet with the student name was attached to the survey for distributing to the appropriate student, and students were instructed to tear the cover sheet off prior to completing the survey. Of the 358 students in the final targeted sample, 57% ( n = 205) completed both the baseline and follow-up survey , 1% ( n = 3) completed the follow-up survey only, and 24% ( n = 84) completed the baseline survey only. Eighteen percent ( n = 66) did not complete either survey; of those, three were parent opt-out, 28 were student declines, and 35 were reason unknown. Exhibit B3 presents the student survey sample demographics.
