Administering the My Voice Surveys

My Voice measures conditions that support Self-Worth, Active Engagement, and Purpose in schools. It takes an average of 15 to 20 minutes for each individual to take the survey, and all responses are confidential – no personally identifiable information is captured.

Steps for Administering the Online Survey

When administering the online survey to students, staff, and/or parents, follow the steps below as appropriate for your role (technical staff or survey administrator). We recommend that you administer the survey in a computer lab where all computers are ready to administer the survey before participants arrive.

Technical Staff:

Prior to survey administration, complete the following steps on each computer that will be used for survey administration:

• Open a browser window. (The online survey can be administered using any browser.)
• Create a bookmark for your school’s unique survey link. (Your school’s survey administrator will provide you with this link.)
• Using this bookmark, be sure the browser on each computer is open to the survey.
• The survey is now ready for participants to complete.
