Recommendations for the Event
Overall organization of the event Lack of understanding of who should be doing what and when More planning meetings and communication between Western
students and ShuksanInterpreters available at welcome table, childcare
check-in, etc.More reliable equipment for interpretationAll sessions should have information that families feel
is relevantMore supervision in student sessionsKeep student and parent sessions separate
Some parents attended the student sessions which limited conversation
Weaknesses of the Evaluation
Surveys were optional Some sessions have more completed surveys than
othersSome surveys were not filled out correctlyVariations in data analysis
Data analysis was not complete: lack of graphs and percentages
Information was entered incorrectlyShort time frame to analyze the data
Conclusion
Most important findings About half felt the sessions were the best part of the
event, while about half felt the sessions were the worst part
Over three-quarters said they felt more connected to the school
Most important recommendations Stronger event organization Improve interpretation services More supervision in student sessions More time for data analysis
