The Road Map Family Engagement Survey was developed for and by districts, community organizations, funders, and community leaders with the Equitable Parent-School Collaboration Project at the University of Washington. Three common indicators of family engagement form the basis of this survey. The aim of the survey is to provide actionable data to schools, districts, and community-based organizations to inform and improve their efforts to build equitable collaboration between families, communities, and schools. For more information on best practices for the survey please refer to the Users Guide.
The Road Map Project has identified three “common” indicators of parent/family engagement which the survey questions focus on:
- Parent/Family Knowledge and Confidence
- Welcoming and Culturally Responsive School Climate
- Parent/Family Decision-Making and Influence
Three additional indicators serve as a “menu”; we recommend you select one from the appendix Appendix B_Additional Indicators_Original
- Family-Educator Trust
- Family-School Communication
- Principal Leadership for Engagement
There has been a recent revision of the English survey which differs from the one we used for our project. We have made the original English survey available below, which is translated into the other languages. If you would like the more recent English survey version please contact us at epsc@uw.edu
