Parent+Group+Instructions+December+2009

Context:
Based on feedback from the Administrator Focus Group for AISI Measures, parent data for AISI Cycle 4 will be collected in a focus group format, a survey format, or in an interview format [phone or face to face]. Whatever format you choose, we would like rich, descriptive feedback from parents. We are suggesting that the focus group be, at most, one hour long, therefore, 3 or 4 questions are appropriate. These 3 or 4 questions can also be provided in survey or interview format. Your task then is to create these questions.

**Your task: 12:45 - 2:00**
- click on your group [e.g. Parent #3] - if you can't see your group, look at the bottom right hand corner of the group section and click on "View All" - Once you have clicked on your group, you will be working in the **"Discussion Forum"** - Click on +Start Discussion - You will be given a prompt to join the Ning - click Join, and fill in the information. An email will be sent to you to confirm your email address. Once this is done, you are good to go! - Please **label the discussion thread with your group label and the question number [e.g. Teacher #3, Question #1]** //-// Place all of your work in the discussion forum.
