In our continuing efforts to increase
school effectiveness, we will be implementing an online student survey this
fall called Tell Them From Me (TTFM).
This is a well-known survey tool which gives students the opportunity to
express their thoughts on various topics and provides
schools with information to improve student learning and foster safe and
welcoming environments for all students.
TTFM was created by The Learning Bar,
based on the work of Dr. Doug Willms, who is well-known nationally and
internationally for his work on the development of educational monitoring
systems, including the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA).
Since 2004, Tell Them From Me has
become Canada’s largest national school survey.
TTFM is an online survey that allows
students to provide their input anonymously in terms of school improvement
initiatives. Each student receives a randomly generated username and password,
so that their identity and responses cannot be linked. All the students in Grades
6 - 8 will be given the opportunity to participate in the survey, but their
participation is not mandatory.
This survey has been specifically
designed for the Grades 6 - 8 student population and will require approximately 40 minutes to complete. It
will include the topic of “bullying and school safety”.
If you would like more information
about TTFM or want to preview the survey before it is administered at the
school, please contact the school principal at 204-888-4898.
Thank you for your support.
