Fast Feedback Surveys: Castallo & Silky provide school administrators and school boards with a quick way to solicit feedback from their various constituent groups (faculty and staff, parents, community).  Through Fast Feedback Surveys clients can find out the opinions and views of these various groups.  Castallo & Silky will use one of the client's existing surveys, work with the client to create a specifically tailored survey, or assist the client in selecting one of the surveys in the Castallo & Silky database.  Respondents will be directed to an on-line survey and all results will be compiled and summarized by Castallo & Silky, then a report will be issued to the client.  You may want to sample one or more of these such as a technology needs assessment survey of staff, a school culture survey,  or perhaps a community survey.  Additional services are also available.  Request a more detailed overview of this service.
