GNS Alberta Education Annual Assurance Surveys
Posted on:
Every year, Alberta Education surveys students, their parents, and all teachers in every public school through the Alberta Education Assurance Survey. The feedback tells the school team what is working well and where there is room for improvement.
The survey asks students in grades 4, 7 and 10, and their parents, about their thoughts, feelings, and experiences in school. Questions cover a variety of topics such as welcoming, caring, respectful and safe learning environments, learning engagement, and parental involvement. The survey is anonymous and voluntary. Your feedback is crucial to the school’s School Continuous Improvement Plans. The annual survey identifies areas each school is doing well in and areas they need to improve in comparison to the rest of the province, Division, and past years.
Parents will get a single-use Random Access Code in the mail and students will complete the survey in their school during February 18 to March 21, 2025. The same questions are asked each year from the province to measure how each school is performing over time.
What if I’m Uncertain of What is Being Asked; Is it OK to Just Say “I Don’t Know?”
When completing your survey, please avoid answering “I Don’t Know,” as this response is categorized as a negative result, and does not provide us with the valuable descriptive feedback necessary to shape our improvement efforts. In some instances, a N/A or blank response may be more appropriate and will not be considered a negative result.
If you have questions about the survey completion, please reach out to your local school.
Thank you on behalf of us all to take the time to share your feedback!
