Survey My Class

Do I want to survey my students?

Hopefully the survey results will provide you with positive feedback and some direction on areas to investigate for potential improvement.

What will I get out of it?

Obtaining student feedback provides valuable insights into teaching practise and classroom dynamics. Additionally, it empowers students in your class by giving them a voice.

Will they be rude/disrespectful?

The option for students to write anything has been removed, so the students will only click buttons to agree/disagree with the statements.

Carefully select which classes you will do the survey with. Sometimes a student may not have the maturity to be able to complete the survey with the right intentions. As with all feedback, you have the final decision on whether to take it onboard or disregard it.

If you do get anything concerning, chat with your Line Manager or colleague.

What are the questions? See attached.

How should I do it?

The students need to access the survey link. Below is how I have set it up in the past:

1. Select your class or classes that you want to focus on.

Post the survey link into Connect so the student can access it easily. (https://www.research.net/r/BunburyJun2024)

2. Set aside some teaching time. Chat to them about the process and why you are asking for their feedback. This may help them to understand the process and act with maturity when providing feedback.
3. Allocate some class time, allow enough time to do the survey and don’t back it onto lunch. The kids will skip through it without any thought to ensure they are able to leave on time.
4. Make it clear to them you that you want the feedback and respect their opinion, and they have a chance to tell you how the class is going.

Who gets the results?

The survey data for each individual teacher remains private to those teachers. Student names are anonymous. You will receive an email with your compiled data at the end of the process.

The combined data of all BSHS staff is compiled into a report for the Leadership Team, which is simply another piece of data used to inform our school improvement plans.

Again, this is private regarding individual teachers’ data. The report that the Leadership Team sees only has a list of the staff members names that have participated and the aggregated data of the school.

The class survey opportunity is open now. This year we have staggered the process to prevent students from having to do lots of surveys in a short amount of time.

Ultimately, we are always looking to enhance the overall quality of teaching and learning in our school, and it would be great to have all teachers participating in this process. If you have any questions about the process, please contact Adam on 78905.

English/Arts Corridor for Duty

With the change in weather, we will be opening the English/Arts corridor for students to sit during lunch breaks. This is a passive seating area.

I will update the duty roster with an allocated teacher from the front lawn moving to supervise this area.
