We are so pleased that you are using The Learning Bar’s Tell Them From Me survey system! This orientation guide serves as a general reference to assist you with planning your survey and navigating the resources available.
These resources provide an overview of the platform and guide you through the process of using it to customise and conduct the survey. After the results are compiled, they will help inform you on the generation and interpretation of meaningful reports.
Your Role as School Coordinator
The School Coordinator is the primary contact for the Tell Them From Me initiative at the school level. The principal may occupy this role, but the role can also be delegated to another staff member. This ‘on-the-ground’ role is critical to the success of the implementation, encompassing logistics, administration of the survey, and effective communication. In your role as School Coordinator you will:
- Demonstrate leadership
- Build your school's capacity to collect and use data
- Communicate effectively with all stakeholders
- Commit to use the data for school improvement.
