Hello Insight is an online platform that enables the GO Project to measure our students social and emotional learning.
Because your child participates in the GO Project program, they will be invited to fill out an online or paper survey at the beginning and end of each program cycle. These surveys measure the impact of the program on your child’s development and capture your child’s experiences within the program, allowing us to make critical improvements to meet their needs. All youth involved in the GO Project program will be invited to participate in this survey.
How will your child participate in the survey?
The surveys take about 20 minutes to fill out and will typically occur during normal program hours when the program meets. Your child will be invited to complete the survey in a group setting online or on paper.
Participation is completely voluntary. You and your child have the right to terminate their participation at any time or to refuse their participation entirely without jeopardy to their status in the program. None of the activities will interfere with your child’s instructional time or affect their academic grades.
What are the benefits to taking the survey?
Your child will become more reflective about their skills and behaviors. Reflection is a key developmental skill that has been shown to lead to a wide-range of benefits for young people.
Additionally, as the adult staff learn more about your child’s interests and experiences in the program, they will be able to tailor activities to meet their needs.
Are there any risks or discomforts in taking the survey?
Risks are minimal to none for involvement in this study. However, your child may feel emotionally uneasy when asked to make judgments about themself and the program.
How is my child’s confidentiality protected?
All information obtained from your child on the survey will be kept confidential and will be used by staff to increase the quality of the program. Program managers, and possibly external evaluators, will also have access to the data so that they can continue to improve the program and support your child’s individual needs.
All data are gathered and analyzed through an online platform called Hello Insight. Your child’s name will not be associated with data in Hello Insight. Data within this platform are kept confidential in a secure database. Hello Insight will never use your child’s name for any reason related to this data, and all data displayed through this system will highlight combined or group results.
