COACH Quick Scan Tool for Parents

Quick scan for Parents


What is this tool about?

This tool is a questionnaire that allows you to self-assess your school. Feedback from the quick scan will provide valuable information on attention areas for further development of a strong career guidance support and prevention of drop-out policy.

How does it work?

The questions below are split into 6 different sections. For each question, please indicate for the statement whether you agree and to what level you agree by clicking the appropriate button next to each statement. Once you are finished, click the show results button at the bottom.

You can use the Skip Section button to skip a Section if it's not relevant to you. However, you must compelete a minimum of 3 sections to get your results.

What results does the tool produce?

Once you have completed the questionnaire and clicked the show results button, you will be provided with a list of areas that we recommend you should focus on more, as well as a radar chart with detailed results. Please keep in mind that the results do not save automatically - to save the chart, right click on it and then choose to save it as an image. The results can only be seen by you, and are not saved or shared with anyone else.
