During the week ending March 5th, over 20,000 parents or caregivers responded to a pulse check with their parents’ praise and insights. We know parents and family members hear from their school after Possip pulse checks – but you may wonder what else is happening across the 26 states where Possip partners with schools, districts and families. Take a look at an overview of family trends in feedback from across the country.
Last week, 64% of parents responded that they were happy with their child’s school, with the remaining saying they were mostly happy or not happy with their child’s school.
We saw a few family trends across the country:
- Specific shout-outs to teachers who have supported their children during virtual learning
- Praise for districts that are in the process of reopening school or recently moved to in-person learning
- Continued feedback and comments about school reopening plans and future or current COVID safety protocols
- Requests for more communication from teachers and the school overall
- Feedback for teachers around academic progress communication, virtual classroom management, and substitute teacher effectiveness
Here are a few suggested parent tools and resources based on what we are hearing.
