 * Sheena - Sorry - The page I copied was only the parents questionair - We still need the teachers survey - Could you upload it please - very sorry! **

Rachel, After speaking to Jo on Thursday she made some valuable suggestions. She thinks we need to have some questions regarding assessment in the parent survey. We need to fix the parents questionnaire to include:


 * "How is your child's learning assessed at school?"** and list various instruments such as quiz, weekly written tests, projects, creating or inventing, research assignments, investigations, contract assignments, and any others you can think of and leave room for them to indicate to what extent each instrument is used for example they could put it as a percentage such as weekly maths assessments and an end of term test covering all topics covered may be the only form of assessment they do for that subject. Whereas, SOSE may involve a research assignment. They may be many parents out there that wouldn't have a clue how their kids are being assessed.


 * "What types of assessment suits your child best?"**

a) Achieve higher grades** b) More engaged in the learning using this method c) Enjoy this method d) Take responsibility for completing the task
 * "Why is this form of assessment preferred?

Add any others you can think of.
