Tip: You want to help students understand what measuring these things will allow the organization to do. We suggest sharing what outcomes will be achieved not just for the leadership team, but also for teachers and students in terms of their own lived experience at school.

Tip: Results, outcomes, and involvement. In terms of results, let people know who will see what once the survey is closed. We want people to understand the outcomes that they can expect, like taking action. Lastly, it’s not just about getting people to participate, it’s keeping them involved throughout the process and taking action.

Tip: You may share things like how your data will be treated, as well as information about the kind of demographics that will be included in the survey. The idea is to ensure respondents that Kelvin is a safe place to share open, honest feedback (and that the feedback won't be used punitively).
