This assessment set is designed for parents to be able to pre-assess their perceived training needs. That is, what are the areas of knowledge and particular skills that might benefit from further learning? The questions are based on the desired learning outcomes of the Parents 4 All learning materials and cover themes such as key concepts (e.g. self-identity, integration and interculturalism), practices (e.g. communication, customs) as well as laws and policies (especially in relation to education).
Please read the statements below carefully. You are then asked to rate where you stand in relation to the statement. The rating scale is as follows:
5 = Strongly agree
4 = Agree
3 = Don’t know
2 = Disagree
1 = Strongly disagree
Please choose the rating that you feel best represents your current level of confidence with the knowledge/skills highlighted by the questions. Be as honest as possible – people often have a tendency to over-rate their competences. This is an excellent chance for you to truly assess which areas of knowledge and/or skills need more work!

What next?
Well done on finishing the self-assessment! You should now, on the one hand, have a fairly good idea of what the Parents 4 All learning materials will cover. On the other hand, you will probably also have a better idea of the areas of knowledge and skills that you feel more confident about and those areas that require more work. Even when you feel confident with a particular area of knowledge or a particular set of skills (perhaps you rated some areas as 4 – ‘Agree’ – or 5 – ‘Strongly agree’), revising and going over things will not be in vain! You may even pick up new ideas or knowledge from the learning materials that you hadn’t thought about, or didn’t know about, before.
In terms of interpreting your self-assessment results, we would recommend that you pay particular attention to the areas of knowledge and skills that you rated as 3 (‘Don’t know’) or below. As the self-assessment questions reflect the desired learning outcomes linked with all Units and Chapters within them, you will be able to identify materials that will be of particular use to you. See which questions connect to which units and chapters:
- Questions 1-5: Unit 1, Chapter 1
- Questions 6-8: Unit 1, Chapter 2
- Questions 9-12: Unit 1, Chapter 3
- Questions 13, 14, 18: Unit 2, Chapter 1
- Questions 15-17, 19: Unit 2, Chapter 2
- Questions 20-22: Unit 2, Chapter 3
- Question 23: Unit 2, Chapter 4
- Questions 24, 25, 27: Unit 2, Chapter 5
- Questions 26, 28, 29: Unit 2, Chapter 6
However, it is crucial to emphasise that all learning materials link together and build on each other. Thus, for the best outcomes it is important to treat the learning materials as a whole. We recommend making use of all the Units and Chapters as this will be of the greatest benefit to you.
