When identifying workshop topics for parents, what is a key data source?

• A. Parent survey results
• B. Center flyers
• C. Refreshments volunteered
• D. Research articles

Answer: (D)

Collecting input directly from parents is the most reliable way to tailor workshop topics to their needs. A parent survey asks what topics they’re most interested in, what times work, and any concerns they want addressed, giving you concrete, actionable information to shape relevant sessions. Research articles can inform topics and provide evidence, but they reflect general findings rather than the specific interests of your current parent group. Center flyers and refreshments volunteered aren’t sources of information about parents’ interests. So, gathering parents’ preferences through a survey is the strongest way to identify appropriate workshop topics.
