KnowledgeBases > Data Collection Checklists - Collecting Information
- Do data collection tools (surveys, etc.) need to be newly developed or "piloted" before they are used widely?
- Are tools for collecting information easy to use? Do they gather data in a format that is easy to summarize and analyze?
- Have different stakeholder groups been included in selecting the tools, deciding about sampling and collecting data, and planning to analyze and report results?
- What plans have been made to report the results of data collection so they can be understood easily by interested parties and, when necessary, translated into the languages of parents whose children attend the school?
- Where will the raw data (notes from interviews, original questionnaires, etc.) be stored so the responses are kept confidential?
