Questionnaire to Assess Parent Perspectives and Participation

Dauber and Epstein (1993) suggest that a questionnaire on parent involvement could include questions on the following topics:

• "Parent attitudes toward their children's school.

• The school subjects that parents want to know more about.

• How frequently the parents are involved in different ways in their children's education.

• How well school programs and teacher practices inform and involve them in their children's education.

• What workshop topics they would select.

• The times of day that parents prefer meetings or conferences at school.

• How much time their children spend on homework and whether the parents help.

• Background information about parents' education, work, and family size." (p. 55)
