Supercharge Your SSIS Assessment Response Rates!
Ready to see those response rates soar and get a truly comprehensive data sample? Let's dive into some fantastic tips to boost your SSIS Administration participation!
1. Set Your Sights High!
Whether you're a seasoned pro or a first-time administrator, setting a goal is key!
First-Time Flyers: New to SSIS Administrations? Here are some benchmarks our clients typically achieve:
Student assessment: 80-85%
Teacher assessment: 85-90%
Parent assessment: 30-40%
Experienced Experts: If you've done this before, try building on what you have already done. Check your past rates, celebrate your successes, and chat with admins at schools who are standing out. Then, challenge your schools to increase those rates by 5-10% this time around—and keep raising the bar!
2. Let's Get Everyone On Board, Together!
Gathering respondent groups at the same time and place can make a huge difference!
Students: Use homeroom or advisory time to make it easy and convenient for them.
Teachers: Dedicate time during faculty meetings, planning days, or team meetings. Even 15 minutes to start can make a big impact!
3. Ignite Some Friendly Competition!
A little healthy competition can be a powerful motivator!
Shout Out Success: Create a "Leaders" board to showcase response rates. Publicly recognize everyone's hard work!
Celebrate Milestones: Set benchmarks like Gold (90%+), Silver (80%+), and Bronze (70%+) status. Celebrate those achievements within schools or across districts!
4. A Special word on Parent Assessments: This is the hardest one for everyone.
Engaging parents is crucial!
In-Person Opportunities: Offer assessment times during school events, plays, meetings, and conferences. We can coordinate sending links at just the right time!
Reach Them Where They Are: Let's explore various communication tools! Talk to your project manager and IT team about using existing channels to share those links.
