The Power of the Survey
Empowering your students to affect change:Provide opportunities for choice (communication, presentation formats, identifying preferences)Gathering feedback on past events to ensure future successFostering leadership opportunities in students
Ascertaining vs. Assuming:The student voice – are we really listening?The assumptions that we make as staff may not accurately reflect the wants/needs of the collective student perspective
Using Data to Drive Decisions:Being more responsive and less reactive to what our students are looking for from their educationDemonstrating actions tied to student survey feedback
