“My school has been using the My Voice student and staff survey for the past 4 years. The survey has been one of the most important driving forces behind the planning, implementation, and reflection for our school wide plans. Student voice has been instrumental in creating a student leadership tradition in our school community where survey results help shape the program. Professional development in our school has at its core survey results; ex. the need and importance for staff to have time together balanced with student need and best practices. The My Voice survey is a powerful tool that keeps our vision focused on the eight aspiration conditions which we believe to be at the core of effective learning and teaching the whole child!” - Susan Inman, Principal – Belfast, ME |
