Scholar Survey Discussion with StrongMind

Krrsten Novak and Shannon Brown from the StrongMind Learner-Centered Design Research Team joined the Scholar Leadership Council meeting. They will be assisting the SLC in crafting the scholar survey on communication and engagement.

Council members are interested in the length and content of the Monday Morning Update, whether communication alerts should be sent via text message, the length of learning labs, content of learning labs and Q&A sessions, the types and locations of field trips, whether or not distance is a factor in attending or if the chaperone requirement is limiting participation, and how effective the Community section of the PSP is in terms of building relationships and talking with peers.

The StrongMind team took notes and will craft sample questions for the Council to consider asking. They appreciated the opportunity to learn more about Compass and to be part of the project.
