Messages from Former Students and Families: Analysis of Statements from One State's Post-School Outcomes Survey
Alverson, Charlotte Y.; Yamamoto, Scott H.
Career Development and Transition for Exceptional Individuals, v42 n4 p225-234 Nov 2019
We conducted an exploratory descriptive qualitative study on extant data of responses to the state's open-ended question from their annual post-school outcomes survey: "If you could tell your school one thing, what would you tell them (make a suggestion to help better prepare current students for life after high school)?" Respondents from one northwest state consisted of former students with disabilities who had been out of school for 1 year or their designee. We analyzed 1,493 statements using consensual qualitative research-modified (CQR-M) method: a modification of CQR in which large quantities of simple qualitative data are analyzed inductively. Findings clustered in four domains: advice, help, satisfaction, and awareness. Implications for stakeholders and recommendations for further research are provided.
