Drawn for this page. Staff see the support system from the referring end: whether they know the path, whether help arrives and whether they hear back.

How to use it

  1. Copy the twelve statements into your school’s survey tool with the four-point scale; keep it anonymous.
  2. Invite every adult who works with students, not only teachers.
  3. Enter the percent choosing agree or strongly agree for each statement.
  4. Share the summary with staff and pick one or two concerns to act on.
  5. Run it again next term to see if the actions helped.

The survey and how to read it

The twelve statements

Give staff each statement with a four-point scale: strongly disagree, disagree, agree, strongly agree. Enter the percent choosing agree or strongly agree.

  1. I know how to refer a student for social, emotional or behavioral support
  2. I know who to contact right away if a student may be in crisis
  3. Referrals get a response within a reasonable time
  4. Students who need counseling or mental health support can get it at school
  5. Counselors, psychologists and social workers are available when I need them
  6. I hear back about what happens after I refer a student
  7. I feel prepared to support students’ social and emotional needs in class
  8. I have been trained to recognize signs that a student is struggling
  9. Support plans for students in my class are practical to carry out
  10. The student support team meets regularly and follows through
  11. Families are included in planning support for their child
  12. Staff have support for their own wellbeing

Reading the bands

The organizer calls 80% agreeing or more a strength and under 60% a concern. These are working bands to help a team choose where to act, not norms from a national sample.

Keep it anonymous

Staff answer more honestly when no answer can be traced to them. With fewer than 10 respondents, do not break results down by staff group.
