The purpose of this questionnaire is to gather feedback on the pilot activities and their impact on students and the school community. When completing the questionnaire, please focus on your observations, feedback from students, parents, and fellow teachers, and any changes you noticed in the classroom or school due to the activities.
Before the start of the activities:
Explain the purpose of the Pre-Assessment: Before starting the activities, explain to students that they will first complete the Pre-Assessment Questionnaire.
Emphasize anonymity: Let them know that the questionnaire is completely anonymous and they don’t need to sign their name on it. This will help ensure that students feel comfortable answering honestly.
Honesty and no right or wrong answers: Make sure students understand that there are no right or wrong answers to the questions. Stress that it’s important for them to answer as honestly as possible, based on how they truly feel and think. Their honest feedback will help ensure the success of the project.
Marking the groups:
Students should mark their group on each questionnaire:
Group 1: For those participating in the continuous activities.
Group 2: For those who will take part in the larger whole-school activities.
Clarify which group they belong to: Teachers should inform students which group to select depending on their participation. Ensure that all students mark the correct group.
Explain the purpose of the activities: Teachers should explain that the Kindness is Our Superpower project will involve various workshops and activities designed to improve well-being, foster friendship, and promote cooperation. The goal of these activities is to help pupils feel more connected and to create a more positive and friendly atmosphere in the classroom.
Future Questionnaire: Let students know that they will complete a similar questionnaire at the end of the project to help assess any changes that occurred after the activities. This will help us evaluate the impact of the program.
During the activities, it’s important to observe students' behavior and reactions closely. Take note of any changes in their behavior—are they becoming more cooperative, kind, or empathetic? Pay attention to how they interact with one another and whether the overall atmosphere in the classroom is improving. Be sure to record feedback from students: What did they say about the activities? How did they feel during them? Did they share any particular insights or emotions? This direct feedback will be valuable in assessing the impact of the activities.
Also, make sure to gather feedback from parents when possible. Ask them if they’ve noticed any changes in their child's behavior at home as a result of the activities.
In addition, observe the overall dynamics in the classroom and school. Have relationships between students improved? Is the classroom or school atmosphere becoming more positive? These observations are key to understanding the broader impact of the project. To make sure you capture everything, take notes during or immediately after each activity. This will ensure that your observations are fresh. These notes will be crucial when you later compile your final report. As you go, gather feedback from students, parents, and other teachers. This feedback can be useful when you complete the success stories section of the report. Lastly, pay attention to specific quotes or noteworthy observations. Writing these down as they happen will save you time later and help enrich your final reflections. These detailed observations will add depth and insight to your report and help evaluate the overall effectiveness of the program.
Each teacher should write five success stories or examples where the activities had a positive impact on individual students. These stories should showcase how the project influenced students' behavior, empathy, or participation.
Include feedback from students, parents, and other teachers. This will provide a fuller picture of how the activities affected the broader school community.
After the activities are finished, take 30 minutes to gather your thoughts and review your notes from the pilot testing.
Review all the observations and feedback you recorded throughout the process. Think about the overall experience—how students responded, what changes you noticed in the classroom, and what the general atmosphere was like after the program. Write your overall summary: Focus on how the activities impacted the school community, how well the children engaged, what changes you observed, and how the classroom or school environment evolved as a result of the program.
