Insights will identify strengths and opportunities, while subsequent surveys will assess program impact and guide next steps by suggesting lessons.
Ensure your class’s voice is heard by following these 3 steps:
You can also review the survey questions in their entirety for each survey type below:
Step 1: Prepare Your Students
-
Consider pre-teaching Survey language: Before students begin, pre-teach language & provide examples where you see fit. See the full surveys at the bottom of this page.
-
Set expectations: To encourage honest responses, make it clear that this is a survey, not a test: the school will only use this information to better support students as they learn and grow.
-
Explain the Likert Scale: Inform students they will be answering statements using a scale: Strongly Disagree, Disagree, Neutral, Agree, Strongly Agree.
Step 2: Ensure Account Access
Provided students have active Wellio accounts, they can log in and access the survey via a banner in their account:
A survey email invitation is also sent to them at the time of the survey opening.
As needed, you can:
- Add missing students
- Resend Invitations: If students haven't activated their Wellio accounts yet, resend invitations via "Manage Students" in your class. Advise students to check spam folders for Invite Instructions.
- Password Reset: For students who previously activated their accounts but have forgotten their credentials, you can reset their passwords through Manage Students.
Step 3: Survey Completion & Monitoring
- Login and Complete: Ask students to log in, click Start Survey from their banner and work through the questions. Encourage them to ask questions if they need examples or clarification.
- Monitor Progress: You can track their progress from your class page.
- Submission is Key: Remind students that they must answer every question & click Submit at the end.
