Survey Says...  Lisa Kihn

Here is a survey that you can give to parents the first week of school. This questionnaire will provide you with invaluable information about the students in your class. I use this information as a way to get to know parents and students better. Many parents will provide you with a unique insight into their child and you can use this information to help you meet individual learning needs. I often refer to this survey during parent teacher conferences and use it as a way to begin a meaningful conversation with parents about their children. I also find it helpful to know parent's professions in case I need an expert in that field to volunteer in the class.
