As a proctor, your role is to set the tone for students who are about to take their survey. It’s important for students to know how valuable their voice is, and following best practices as a proctor will ensure quality feedback. On this page, you will find resources about how to best administer and proctor your student surveys.
As a best practice, please complete the survey set-up process 2 to 3 weeks prior to your intended launch date! This will give our technical teams time to troubleshoot any issues that may arise.
How should I proctor to ensure the best results?
- Encourage students to take the survey seriously by letting them know how their feedback will be used.
- Make sure all students are prepared to do work or read quietly after they have completed their surveys.
- Collect all the necessary items for surveys ahead of time. Ensure that all students have access to a device to take the survey on, and a list of online access codes.
- Review collection protocols to best protect the confidentiality of student responses.
- Encourage survey coordinators to join a live community workshop and learn about best practices for survey administration.
- Provide feedback to survey coordinators about best practices for survey administration.
- If you are planning on reading survey questions aloud to students, you may want to request a copy of the survey from your school or district's survey coordinator.
