As a part of the NorthBay experience, we are always trying to improve our programs to provide the best possible experience for our visiting students. As part of thiseffort, an external evaluation team periodically conducts research. This research involves observing our programs and conducting student surveys. Your student might be invited to participate in small daily discussion groups with the researcher. These daily discussion groupswill be audio recorded. All data are kept strictly confidential. Students are not held responsible for any of their responses. The research occasionally results in publications that report on the accomplishments of our programs and what we are learning, so that other programs like ours can learn from our work. By signing this permission form, you are consenting to allowing your son/daughter to participate in this research. Students maintain the right to refuse to take part in any survey or daily discussion group with no fear of any consequences or penalties
