It can be difficult to gather meaningful yet concise information about parental concerns when writing an IEP. Parents don't know exactly what kind of information you're looking for; accurate documentation of a conversation is a hassle; not to mention, no one has time for a formal interview. This survey can be sent home and returned for easy collection of short, informative, multiple choice statements as well as space for additional information in written form. I like to send mine home with the N

I made this graphic handout when I realized that several of my students knew about text evidence and knew about author's point of view but couldn't connect the two in a meaningful way.
