Where is This Inquiry Taking Us? This line of inquiry is allowing us to better understand the
manner in which students most often receive Skyline College information and data.
We want to know more about the most effective and efficient
method(s) to communicate accurate information to the community, specifically to high school students, faculty and staff.
Our next question is: How can we provide a consistent flow of accurate information regarding Skyline College's programs and resources via people and programs that most effectively interact with students.
Some further areas of inquiry may be to: Follow up with faculty and staff surveys.Seek out specific information within the original survey
questions.Survey other high schools to observe trends or patterns.
