• Do you think the survey successfully measures the quality of the program? Why or why not?
• What is one survey question that you would retain, and what is one question you would change or eliminate and why?
• If you were to conduct a focus group to gather additional information about the quality of the program, what is one open-ended question you would ask to measure the quality of the program and why?
