Title: The Benefits of a School Parent Survey (1)
1The Benefits of a School Parent Survey
2Why should you survey parents?
- Parents and guardians play a significant role in
a students education from toddlerhood to
graduation day. Not only are they a childs first
teacher, but in later years their partnership
with a childs school is vital to student success
both in and out of the classroom.
3A school parent survey is an effective way to
gauge parent and guardian engagement. There are
many survey options, and it can be difficult to
choose the right one. Some things to consider
when deciding how to best implement a school
parent survey
4Ask the right questions
- Its important to evaluate what youre asking.
Questions should be varied enough to represent
all aspects of parent engagement in school and
detailed enough to provide an understanding of
where and why parents are or are not engaged.
5Get honest feedback
- Ensuring anonymity is a good way to get honest
feedback as well as encourage participation from
those parents and guardians who are typically
less vocal, giving you a more accurate and
complete picture of parent engagement.
6Be sure your data is usable
- Data is not useful if it is not easily accessed
and interpreted. Your data reporting system
should make it easy for you to identify areas of
strength and weakness.
7Be responsive
- Educators strive to make data driven decisions.
Parents will be confident theyve been heard when
educators respond. Use what youve learned from
the data gathered to celebrate your strengths and
set goals for the future.
