I've now completed my data collection instrument. My site-supervisor thought it would help to design it where it had (2) forms of data collection in one-survey and open-ended questions. I will be using a Likert Scale for the followling statements:
1. I feel welcome at my child's school.
2. My child’s school sees parents as important partners.
3. Employees in the front office are polite to me when I visit and/or call the school.
4. My child’s school wants to hear my ideas about how to make the school better.
5. My child’s school sees parents as important partners.
6. If I need help or have a question, I know whom to talk to at this school.
7. This school will help me assist my child with homework and learning.
8. In addition to report cards, this school tells me about my child's learning and grades.
9. Students at my child’s school are treated fairly by all teachers and staff, no matter what their race, cultural, or family background.
10. Recognizes that all parents, regardless of income, educational level, or cultural background, want their children to do well in school and are involved in their children’s learning.

What is your race or ethnicity?
How many school events do you attend a year? □ 0 □ 1-2 □ 3-5 □ 6-10 □ 11 +
