Questions+for+Parent+Survey

=I Need your Help!!!!! What should we ask??????=

In this page we will all work together in creating a Survey Questionnaire for our parents. This particular survey will be aimed at looking how parents perceive the new 5th grade structure compared to the previous one. So this survey will be aimed for parents with older students in the school.

I believe we should have questions that will give us information regarding 3 aspects; Social, Academic and procedural, so I have divided this page into those 3 headings, if you think we should have another heading please let me know and we can add it. Place your questions or statements under each heading and we will all give feedback. Think about the kind of feedback you as a teacher would like to receive regarding the new structure. I will ask parents to grade statements according to a 4 point LiKert scale... //**Strongly agree, agree, disagree, strongly disagree**//. We will also have spaces for open ended questions and general comments.

Social
MICHAEL:: SHOULDN´T ALL OF THE BELOW QUESTS BE STATEMENTS???? IE..THE 5TH GRADE STRUCTURE HELPED THE SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT OF MY CHILD. Does the new 5th grade structure help the social development of my child. Were you worried about your child entering 5th grade, based on what you saw or heard in previous years? Has the new 5th grade structure helped to solve some of the social problems that you saw in previous years? I agree with Michael in terms of the statements, but I do not really have much to add here. My child didn't show difficulties adapting to his/her new class (group) in 5th grade (Strongly agree, agree, disagree, strongly disagree)

I have worked at the school for 6 years now and have taught all levels of Bach. I felt this year, the 5th grade team has been a real success in improving standards across the school. We have been able to work as a team and help students with their organisatonal skills during their transition year to bach. Students appear to be happy, organised and motivated, a marked improvement on previous years.

Academic
Has your child's academic performance benefited from the increased contact time with fewer teachers? Do you feel that the teachers have been able to make cross-curricular links more readily this year, as they are teaching more than one subject to your child? Has the communication between parents and teachers been adequate? Do you feel that you truly know how your child is doing academically this year? The 5th grade team has gave my child the support necessary in subject areas where she/he had difficulties. Teachers this year have been able to give a more useful feedback to my child on his/her performance (Strongly agree, agree, disagree, strongly disagree). When my child has homework, he/she knows what is expected from him/her (Strongly agree, agree, disagree, strongly disagree). Although there seem to be cross-curricular links in the curriculum, it is obvious for me that my child is acquiring subject matter knowledge and skills (Strongly agree, agree, disagree, strongly disagree).

 * Andrew:** As a teacher of the 5th grade team, I have found that more contact time with fewer students I have really been able to work with some of the weaker students and help them with their weaknesses, therefore improving their overall academic results in English and Humanities.

Procedural
Do you think that the structure of 5th grade, with a Pastoral Manager and Head of Year has been effective? Does your child know what is expected of him or her? (**Mafe: Expected from them in what sense? i.e. rules?** I think __procedural__ is not easy to understand as a category, I understand it is related to logistics and organization... If categories are going to be somehow explained in the survey, then I think it will be clearer.) Do you feel informed about the policies and procedures that the 5th grade team are using with your child? 5th grade team managed different issues related to my child __carefully?__ (Help me out Here)and professionally. 5th grade agreements and rules seem to be in line with those of the school. The structure given to 5th grade has helped my child face rules and procedures in //Bach// without much difficulty.
