Skokie School District 68 is partnering with the Catalyst for Educational Change (CEC) to conduct an Inclusionary Practices Needs Assessment. The focus of the needs assessment will be to gain insight into each school site culture, programs and processes and provide recommendations to the district to improve results for special education students.
As part of the process, CEC will conduct a series of stakeholder focus group sessions. The intent of the focus group process is to gather anonymous data that will be used by an external team to build a non-biased picture reflecting our true current realities. We would like to invite you to participate in a parent focus group.
The focus group session will be digital using Zoom and will last approximately 45 minutes. You can join electronically from any location through a Zoom calendar invite link that will be provided. These sessions will be confidential, through CEC’s Zoom platform, not recorded, and will only include parents in the group. Your comments will not be shared as individual comments with anyone within the district rather compiled through trend data for a final report for district consideration.
It is only by identifying our true present state that we can effectively plan for how to improve. Your voice is valued and we hope you will agree to participate.
The Parent/Guardian focus group will take place on
Thursday, March 5, 2026 from
4:00 - 4:45 p.m. If you are unable to attend the focus group but would like the opportunity to respond to the same questions that will be asked in the meeting, please select that option using the
Inclusionary Practices Parent Focus Group Form linked below and the questions will be sent to you.
How do you sign up?
Thank you in advance for your participation and partnership,
