Surveys and Focus Groups


Whatever your data collection needs, ECRA Group works with your organization to develop customized measurement instruments that will produce information in the areas you want to target.

Customized Surveys

No organization is exactly alike. Therefore, we believe that no survey instrument should be identical from school district to school district. Whether you are looking to garner student, teacher, parent or community feedback, we will work with you to choose from a database of thousands of survey items as well as to create your own items based on issues pertinent to your schools, and your community. We will then develop a customized survey instrument that can be modified and used from year to year to measure feedback and growth.

Focus Groups

Focus groups can add a powerful arm to your data collection arsenal. When educational leaders are faced with tough decisions, focus groups of district stakeholders can often produce new ideas or offer in-depth exploration of issues that lead to a clearer pathway to the future.

The ECRA Focus Group experience has been proven to generate crucial data based on board, administrator, teacher, parent and community input, while empowering participants to be vital contributors to the decision-making process and future development of their community’s school district.

Here is what participants are saying about ECRA focus groups:

This was a good opportunity for community members to voice their concerns without negativity.  It gave us a chance to be an integral part of some decision-making for the benefit of our children.
I thought this focus group was wonderful.  It opened the lines of comunication and we found that we all seek the same goal - not only for our students, but for the community.
This process was extremely helpful for identifying the positive, wonderful aspects of our school district.  The focus group provided the space for stating our needs, but highligted what great potential we have.
This process was stimulating and helpful.  The questions were very thought-provoking.  You collected a large amount of data in very little time, and now I look forward to generating our ideas into action.
