Douglas Willms Survey data to be used to support SIPSA and Safe & Accepting Schools Teams in developing a school level bullying intervention & prevention plan Backgrounder
TTFM is completed in a computer lab • It is an English-only survey • Student friendly language • Students may skip individual questions • Anonymous
We are using The Learning Bar’s Effective Schools Survey on Student Engagement and on Bullying and School Safety. Survey Measures Social Engagement (belonging, using ICT, reading, positive relationships) Institutional Engagement (homework time) Physical Fitness (how much activity) School Context (feeling safe, bullying) Classroom Context (positive learning climate) Family Context (aspirations, advocacy out of school) Demographic Factors (socio-economic factors)

How Students Login Use normal Active Directory Logins to sign on to computers. Visit www.tellthemfromme.com in a web browser. Use TTFM generated logins to access the survey.
Implementation Inform School Council, Staff and students that the school will be doing the TTFM Effective Schools Survey on School Safety, Bullying and Student Engagement. Parent Letter needs to go home Sent out by e-mail the Week of March 25th, for distribution 1-2 weeks before you do the survey Parents/students may opt out (return form to school if this is the case) Attend online training Webinars (Week of March 25th) to learn how to setup survey at your school.

Implementation plan at your school • - Decide on when to do survey (April and May) • - Make schedule for classes to go down to lab • - Use TTFM Survey Site to randomly generate login id’s and passwords for students, distribute to classes, do the survey in the lab. • DO NOT TRACK WHICH STUDENT HAS TAKEN A SPECIFIC ID. • DO NOT RECORD WHO HAS/HASN’T COMPLETED THE SURVEY • DO OFFER A CALL-DOWN TO LAB FOR ANY STUDENT WHO • MISSED THE CHANCE TO DO THE SURVEY • This time it’s anonymous. Login id’s are not based on student OEN. They are randomly generated. • Reporting does not trace back to individual id’s. • To be treated as a school based climate survey.
