The School Coordinator is the primary contact for the OurSCHOOL initiative at the school level. The principal may occupy this role, but the role can also be delegated to another staff member. This ‘on-the-ground’ leadership role is critical to a successful implementation, encompassing logistics, administration of the survey, and effective communication. In your role as School Coordinator, you will:
- Coordinate with your District Coordinator to implement the survey;
- Build your school's capacity to collect and use data;
- Communicate survey purpose and results with all stakeholders;
- Commit to using the data for school improvement.
Getting Ready for the OurSCHOOL Surveys
Before beginning the implementation, your District Coordinator will create or reactivate your OurSCHOOL account. See Account Information if you need help to update your account or reset your password. If you are unsure who your District Coordinator is, refer to the Finding your District Coordinator article.
