Assiniboia Composite High School

In our continuing effort to increase school effectiveness, we will be implementing an online school survey for students – Tell Them From Me (TTFM).

TTFM is an online school survey that allows students to give their input into school improvement initiatives in an anonymous way. Over the course of the school year, all students will be given an opportunity to participate. They are encouraged to complete the survey, but may choose not to. Everyone completing the survey will be given a random username and password. Thus, respondents cannot be linked to their responses, ensuring anonymity.

The student survey will be completed online and will require approximately 35-40 minutes to complete. The student survey measures include such topics as social/emotional outcomes (e.g. student engagement, emotional health), physical health outcomes (e.g. physical fitness, risky behaviours), and drivers of student outcomes (e.g. quality instruction, classroom context). The survey also allows students to give their thoughts and feedback in an open-ended question response.  The survey will be completed within the school day the week of May 14 - 19th.

 TTFM was created by The Learning Bar, based on the work by co-founder Dr. J. Douglas Willms. Dr. Willms is widely known nationally and internationally for his work on the development of educational monitoring systems, including the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development. Since 2004, Tell Them From Me has quickly grown to become Canada’s largest national school survey.
