Step 7

Check In Post Surveys

How to get the most out of this step

Check in with your school community by hosting a listening session. Get organized by gathering the letters and surveys below to gain feedback from your school community.

  • Plan for use of these in ways that were successful when you first collected feedback as you consider tools and methods to collect feedback again and analyze the data.

  • Use the Data Summary Guide to again reflect on progress and formal school community feedback as you summarize input and ideas for continued improvement, reflection, and modifications to your Action Plan.

  • Compare your data to observe growth and challenges in your implementation.

Be sure to leverage resources using state and federal family engagement requirements to help do this work.
