2020 Student Perception Survey Feedback by Danielle Feeney https://padlet.com/danielle_feeney/fobs6pd5efe1s88o In the first semester our students, staff, and community members took a culture and community survey via Panorama. Building Leadership looked through 3 specific results that stood apart: Sense of Belonging (6-8), Emotional Regulation (3-8), and SEL PD (staff). In the summer our BLT reviewed TLCC survey results from Feb. 2020. There were similarities between the 2 surveys in the aforementioned areas that led us to focus on them. Our BLT used the TLCC survey results to develop our #2 Goal (The entire Bison community will support stakeholders’ (students, staff, and parents) emotional awareness and problem solving skills) and committees have developed action items to address that goal. Our BLT would like PLCs, character, and wellness to review the Panorama input, alongside our #2 Goal to discuss implications the input may have for the work we do with students. On a side note, staff input from the Panorama survey showed a need for additional SEL PD. The input received from PLCs, character, and wellness may help our BLT address that need as well. Please take a moment to review the Panorama student data and share your responses to the prompts on the padlet. BLT will review this information at their Feb. 9th meeting. Thank you for sharing your reflections and input. en-us 2021-01-12 17:50:32 UTC 2021-02-01 19:29:43 UTC hello@padlet.com The data suggests that while we are higher than the district average, we still have work to do to help kids feel connnected to the school. Kids feel respected and a part of the community. It also suggests that emotional regulation strategies such as Second Step are helping students recognize and work through strong emotions. https://padlet.com/danielle_feeney/fobs6pd5efe1s88o/wish/1098522307 2021-01-18 16:41:06 UTC https://padlet.com/danielle_feeney/fobs6pd5efe1s88o/wish/1098522307 We need to create more community building activities across grade levels.

Therapy can be so expensive and such a difficult road to navigate that it would be so nice to have an understanding on how we can help families (and ourselves) find inexpenisive, quality counseling. https://padlet.com/danielle_feeney/fobs6pd5efe1s88o/wish/1098540324 2021-01-18 16:48:08 UTC https://padlet.com/danielle_feeney/fobs6pd5efe1s88o/wish/1098540324 Students are feeling disconnected from their school and each other.

We have comparison TSD data, but how does that relate to year-over-year trends at HPS and district wide? Are there similar comparison schools that in TSD with significantly higher scores? aaronestevez https://padlet.com/danielle_feeney/fobs6pd5efe1s88o/wish/1099329527 2021-01-19 00:52:58 UTC https://padlet.com/danielle_feeney/fobs6pd5efe1s88o/wish/1099329527 I'd like to have discussion time with my PLC about the results, and I'd like character committee to look into more data. aaronestevez https://padlet.com/danielle_feeney/fobs6pd5efe1s88o/wish/1099331145 2021-01-19 00:54:14 UTC https://padlet.com/danielle_feeney/fobs6pd5efe1s88o/wish/1099331145 Maybe we could have time on a Wednesday to write kids cards as a tangible action. Beyond that, I am not really sure how to teach emotional regulation to 7/8 or what specifically I can do beyond what I've done already as an individual to address any of the survey results. aaronestevez https://padlet.com/danielle_feeney/fobs6pd5efe1s88o/wish/1099332222 2021-01-19 00:54:50 UTC https://padlet.com/danielle_feeney/fobs6pd5efe1s88o/wish/1099332222 I like Aaron's suggestion to use PLC time to address the data. We need to develop ways to reach out to students and increase their sense of community and belonging. Perhaps this could be a focus of our afternoon building time on Feb. 25th? (If it's not used for conference time, that is.) https://padlet.com/danielle_feeney/fobs6pd5efe1s88o/wish/1099354302 2021-01-19 01:13:40 UTC https://padlet.com/danielle_feeney/fobs6pd5efe1s88o/wish/1099354302 We need to make sure that even in a remote environment that students feel connected. I'd be curious to see how this data looks in comparison to last year, or a "normal" school year's data. https://padlet.com/danielle_feeney/fobs6pd5efe1s88o/wish/1101852180 2021-01-19 15:50:12 UTC https://padlet.com/danielle_feeney/fobs6pd5efe1s88o/wish/1101852180 We need to provide ways for students to regulate emotions as well as community build across the school, not just within grade levels. https://padlet.com/danielle_feeney/fobs6pd5efe1s88o/wish/1101858095 2021-01-19 15:51:14 UTC https://padlet.com/danielle_feeney/fobs6pd5efe1s88o/wish/1101858095 Could we use part of our February 25th time to explore ideas of how to address our students' needs? We do a lot of team building at the beginning of a school year, but how much of that continues once students feel "comfortable" being at school? https://padlet.com/danielle_feeney/fobs6pd5efe1s88o/wish/1101863157 2021-01-19 15:52:08 UTC https://padlet.com/danielle_feeney/fobs6pd5efe1s88o/wish/1101863157 Use SEL morning time to teach emotional regulation more directly. There are many SEL supports in school who can come into classrooms and help teach these skills. Utilizing Case, Christa, Simone, and maybe even Jennifer Sardinia could go a long way with this! Implementing an SEL curriculum that is specifically focused on increasing connectedness and regulation could help too. Second Step is great, but doesn't specifically target regulation. https://padlet.com/danielle_feeney/fobs6pd5efe1s88o/wish/1101926849 2021-01-19 16:03:43 UTC https://padlet.com/danielle_feeney/fobs6pd5efe1s88o/wish/1101926849 I am definitely worried about our connection with students. It has been extremely difficult and discouraging trying to build relationships that the students and teachers crave. petecarlson https://padlet.com/danielle_feeney/fobs6pd5efe1s88o/wish/1103441791 2021-01-19 21:12:29 UTC https://padlet.com/danielle_feeney/fobs6pd5efe1s88o/wish/1103441791 I would like to see if we could have some in person activities (social distance of course) that we could host at the school so that we can show students some fun to build interest. petecarlson https://padlet.com/danielle_feeney/fobs6pd5efe1s88o/wish/1103451829 2021-01-19 21:15:54 UTC https://padlet.com/danielle_feeney/fobs6pd5efe1s88o/wish/1103451829 Staff needs PD in the area of SEL. It is clear that it is a piece that is lacking according to the data. This year, especially, we have not had the opportunity to address the SEL needs while in the midst of this pandemic. https://padlet.com/danielle_feeney/fobs6pd5efe1s88o/wish/1103700200 2021-01-19 23:20:55 UTC https://padlet.com/danielle_feeney/fobs6pd5efe1s88o/wish/1103700200 We haven't had enough training as staff on SEL stuff. https://padlet.com/danielle_feeney/fobs6pd5efe1s88o/wish/1103701495 2021-01-19 23:21:59 UTC https://padlet.com/danielle_feeney/fobs6pd5efe1s88o/wish/1103701495 We need more SEL training as a staff. It seems that based on the student responses, some training targeted directly at how to build community and connection remotely would be really helpful so that we can improve those numbers with students. https://padlet.com/danielle_feeney/fobs6pd5efe1s88o/wish/1103701811 2021-01-19 23:22:14 UTC https://padlet.com/danielle_feeney/fobs6pd5efe1s88o/wish/1103701811 Staff SEL PD https://padlet.com/danielle_feeney/fobs6pd5efe1s88o/wish/1103702365 Instructional support for teachers is lacking in the SEL arena. Even though we have shared Teach-To's/Behavior Expectations and Behavior Report Form - and created opportunities to gather information related to SEL (Bloomsights), we haven't given a great deal of specific interventions for identified behavior support. This is true for students and staff.]]> 2021-01-19 23:22:39 UTC https://padlet.com/danielle_feeney/fobs6pd5efe1s88o/wish/1103702365 We may have done more SEL PD last year than this year, especially with new demands with technology and Covid restrictions. However, we also have lots of new staff members this year. I would be interested to see if the survey was completed by mostly new or returning staff. Maybe this is something to beef up each year as we have new people join our team. https://padlet.com/danielle_feeney/fobs6pd5efe1s88o/wish/1103702386 2021-01-19 23:22:40 UTC https://padlet.com/danielle_feeney/fobs6pd5efe1s88o/wish/1103702386 A PD directly focused at creating community connection across grade levels remotely. https://padlet.com/danielle_feeney/fobs6pd5efe1s88o/wish/1103703698 2021-01-19 23:23:46 UTC https://padlet.com/danielle_feeney/fobs6pd5efe1s88o/wish/1103703698 What topics should we arrange for staff SEL PD's? https://padlet.com/danielle_feeney/fobs6pd5efe1s88o/wish/1103706932 Student needs can be based on Bloomsights, where do we gather info for our staff needs?]]> 2021-01-19 23:26:18 UTC https://padlet.com/danielle_feeney/fobs6pd5efe1s88o/wish/1103706932 Value and Time https://padlet.com/danielle_feeney/fobs6pd5efe1s88o/wish/1127748193 While teachers have been trained and given resources, emphasis is continually put on only "tested" subjects. This mindset devalues the time spent teaching/building community and SEL.
