Tell Them From Me Survey

Beddington Heights School has partnered with Alberta Education and The Learning Bar (www.thelearningbar.com) to survey students in Grade 4, 5 & 6 at Beddington Heights School on their level of engagement in learning, their level of student wellness and the climate of their classroom(s) and school.

The Tell Them From Me (TTFM) survey was developed by internationally renowned educational researcher Dr. Douglas Willms and is based upon years of research in Canada and around the world. Gathering student feedback through this survey will support our school’s plans for continuous improvement.

Also included in the TTFM survey are Alberta Education’s Accountability Pillar Survey questions for students. As an annual check-up on the education system, Alberta Education conducts surveys of students to gather information on the quality of education provided by Alberta school authorities and their schools. The results are provided to school authorities to inform the development of their three-year education plans and annual education results reports, and are used to evaluate performance on Accountability Pillar survey measures.

Student participation in the survey was voluntary and completely anonymous. Students were assigned a random username and password so that survey responses could not be attributed to any individual student. Grade 4, 5 & 6 students at our school participated in this survey in January.  The survey was completed on-line and was completed within the school day during regular class time.
