Post-School Outcome Surveys

You may know of cases where a school would be interested in using the surveys to learn more about the status of their graduates. Information like this could help schools improve their programs, if they would use it.

Post-School Outcome Survey Flyers designed to help states and school districts increase youth/family participation in post-school outcome surveys are now available online. The flyers were created as handouts for students with Individualized Education Programs who are leaving school & their families. Available in both Spanish & English & designed with youth & family readers in mind, the flyers convey essential points about the purpose of data collection activities & encourage participation in the process. School districts can add their own contact information & the flyers can be customized to reflect a state's unique format or survey process. Prepared by the National Post-School Outcomes Center (NPSO) in collaboration with PACER Center, they can be downloaded at no cost at http://psocenter.org/data_collection.html

A "tips sheet" containing suggestions for dissemination activities is also available.
