Stakeholders Input
Assessment Survey Reflection
When schools evaluate and assess their performances and concerns for the year, I think Stakeholder’s views and opinions matter. However, I also think that other people such as parents and students’ thoughts are just as important, and they need to be included in the assessment and decisions that reflect their school. This impacts them both because the students are the ones who these surveys will affect the most. It is materials, changes, improvements that teachers, school administrations and community supporters will be implementing for the student. So, student’s voices need to be heard on the changes. As adults we do know what is best for students in many cases, but students see concepts, ideas, and situations differently from adults. Thus, their knowledge is valued because they have ideas that are foreseen by adults that will make things better or at least give a student’s perspective on ideas and concepts that will influence them.
Parents are the other stakeholders that should have a voice in surveys pertaining to their child’s education. Parent’s opinions are valuable because they want what is best for their child through the school system. Therefore, their concerns reflect the needs of the child. The parent sees what teachers and administrations don’t always see or hear until later in the school year. Whether it is bullying, classroom management, things said, concepts are not taught, misinformation being stated or things happening when the adults aren’t looking etc. This information needs input to help keep our school safe and ensure learning is taking place. Therefore, the more parent input will turn out to be their involvement for a positive culture and more involvement with the school.
I would think that the community leaders and neighbors are other people who need to be involved with the survey because the community is a place where its members meet at the park, go shopping at the neighborhood store and visit other community members. It is where these people live, work, and raise their family. Thus, what affects them in their community needs to be addressed with their concerns and insights on their thoughts and opinions about what goes on in and around them.
Each group of people involved with the survey, has significant information and insights that when put together makes the school a valuable organize functional entity of the community that helps foster the needs of the student to grow into respectful society members.
