What’s the benefit?

How does it work?

1.

•District assembles names and email addresses of key audiences

•Key audiences: parents, staff, non-parent patrons and key opinion leaders

2.

• Patron Insight creates an online “Interest Survey”

• District sends survey to all email addresses (via a link) requesting participants self-select their interest level in various school facilities, programs and activities

3.•District chooses a Program to evaluate from our extensive list of District

Programs and using our Program Evaluation Template (or your own)

4.

• District completes internal input while survey questionnaire is prepared by one of our research professionals

• Once approved by district, survey is distributed to those individuals who have opted in and/or would logically have valuable input to the District Program

How does it work (cont.)?

5.

•Survey findings are analyzed and a professional research report is written (10 days after survey closing)

•District inserts survey findings into the Program Evaluation Template and presents results internally

6.•Evaluations are posted on the Consortium website (password

protected and only accessible by members)

7.

•Districts use peer-to-peer comparisons and contact fellow Consortium members to learn about their District Programs to enhance their education efforts
