PIVOT STUDENT SURVEY

Empowering Student Voice and Enhancing Learning

We are excited to share that our students completed the Pivot Student Survey this week. Pivot is a powerful tool designed to enhance teaching and learning at our school. This survey allows students to provide valuable feedback on their classroom experiences, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and active participation. 

Benefits to Teaching and Learning

The Pivot Student Survey is aligned with global teaching frameworks and focuses on observable teaching practices. By gathering insights directly from students, teachers can gain a deeper understanding of what works well and identify areas for growth. This feedback is instrumental in refining teaching strategies, ultimately leading to improved educational outcomes for all students.

Amplifying Student Voice and Agency

One of the core strengths of the Pivot Student Survey is its ability to activate student voice. Students are given the opportunity to share their perspectives on their learning environment, promoting a sense of ownership and responsibility in their education. This process not only empowers students but also helps to build stronger student-teacher relationships, fostering a more inclusive and supportive classroom atmosphere.

Personalised Feedback for Professional Development

The survey results provide teachers with personalised feedback that is both anonymous and confidential. This data is used to set clear professional development goals and tailor professional learning agendas. By understanding the specific needs and preferences of their students, teachers can adapt their methods to better support individual learning styles and needs.

We believe that the Pivot Student Survey will play a crucial role in our ongoing efforts to create a dynamic and responsive learning environment. For an overview of the survey, please click the link below.
