Data Analysis Remote Consultation

In this one-hour session, participants will speak directly with an experienced Aspirations Coach who has reviewed their survey results and will assist them in understanding and analyzing their data to identify trends that may emerge in the data. The Coach will guide participants through the process of analyzing sample data in order to recognize common trends that may emerge and discuss areas of focus for the school's My Voice Team.

My Voice Action Day 1: Data Analysis & Self Worth

This full-day session will provide school staff with a thorough introduction of Aspirations and the 8 Conditions. The instructor will give participants practice in analyzing and interpreting the My Voice Survey results using their data in order to get an idea of trends that may emerge in the data. This is designed to give school staff an in-depth examination of the Guiding Principle of Self-Worth and three Conditions within it: Belonging, Heroes, and Sense of Accomplishment. An experienced Aspirations Coach will guide the staff through a process that identifies the school structures and practices that address the survey results. Participants will work collaboratively to identify action strategies to best address the needs of their school.

My Voice Action Day 2: Active Engagement & Purpose

This full-day session continues the understanding and work from the Day 1 session. The Aspirations Coach provides follow-up and review of the actions and strategies implemented related to Guiding Principle of Self-Worth. Then the Coach provides an analysis of the remaining two Guiding Principles: Active Engagement and Purpose by examining each of the final five of the 8 Conditions. The school staff will explore in detail their survey results for each or the Conditions categorized by these two Guiding Principles and extend the action strategies to address the needs demonstrated in the My Voice Survey data.

My Voice Action Day 3: Aspirations Profile

As the next-step in the series of understanding and responding to student feelings and beliefs about themselves and their schools, this full-day session is designed to provide school staff with a simple framework for understanding the patterns of behavior that impact students' ability to reach their hopes and dreams. If educators have a clearer sense of where students fit into the Aspirations Profile, they may find it easier to provide opportunities that help students reach their fullest potential. An experienced Aspirations Coach explores this framework and assists the school staff in defining action strategies that address the specific needs identified in the My Voice Survey data. This training will equip the participants to better evaluate the school's action plans and engage multiple stakeholders in the process.

Our Action Package: Day 1, 2 & 3

This package includes the three full-day sessions that take the school staff on the journey from understanding the 8 Conditions to collaborative action planning and evaluation for continuous improvement. The sessions are scheduled over the course of a school year in order to better design, implement and evaluate the action plans. It also allows the Aspirations Coach to work with the school staff over time to examine multiple data points from the My Voice Survey.
