Student, Parent and Community Engagement - Survey Monkey

Survey Monkey is a free online survey software.  The software provided by Survey Monkey allows you to create many types of surveys from the very simple to the most complex.  It has fifteen questions types and can be sent out via mobile, web or social media.  They also offer hundreds of  templates, a very helpful tool when you are crunched for time. I know many people in my institution use Survey Monkey to survey different groups of people within the organization. 

I think Survey Monkey is a great tool to engage parents, community members, faculty, staff and administration. You can ask parents specific questions about specific areas of concern, or those that you feel might need improvement. For instance, how they feel about the school climate, or maybe questions about the class you are teaching. Polling the community is always a good way to engage people outside of the school building.  Sometimes the community feels left out of decisions that their tax dollars are supporting.  Faculty and staff can benefit in many ways, for instance on how they view their workplace, job satisfaction, to changing curriculum etc. Another great aspect of Survey Monkey is the several survey samples that are specific to the educational community.  These could be very helpful in building your survey as well as enhancing it.
