What Is This?

The Student Support Card surveys are a cool tool to help you be a more active key player in thickening your “web of support” and Developmental Ecology overall.

Completed surveys result in what we call a “Snapshot”, based on the seven phactors of Integrative Youth Development (IYD)™ - ROY G BIV - that you are learning about.

Remember that life - for everyone - is full of ups and downs. And so our Developmental Ecologies are dynamic, always in flux and changing to some degree. When you take a set of these surveys, it is literally a “snapshot in time” of your Developmental Ecology. It gives a glimpse into how the phactors are shaping your life and can inform you about how to amplify your strengths to help you “get from where you are to where you want to be”.

Sharing your snapshot with Anchors - or other adults - is up to you. You can login anytime (as long as you have an Active account) to show or print your data to anyone you choose. Yes, a select few adults - those who run the program that brings the Student Support Card to you - already have some access to your snapshots; however, if they would like your data shared to other adults, Kaledisocope Connect tells them to make sure they get your permission first!

And, even then - no local leader or supervisor has any access to how you answered any specific questions/statements in the surveys; they can only see the calculated results for each color (which includes any Anchors you listed).

========================================

Getting Started

There are TWO types of Survey sets; you can only complete one set at a time and you can only change your answers within each set’s “time window”:

  1. The complete set (ROYGBIV + a few others) - This is done when your local leader has setup an “Event” (most commonly, Phlight Club); Includes specific Start and End Dates. A student can edit their survey answers at any time during this Event window.

  2. ROY only - This can be done anytime OUTSIDE of an Event’s date range; Often used to “monitor” web-building between Events (e.g, done monthly or quarterly). A student can edit their survey answers at any time within 12 hours of first creating a ROY snapshot.

After logging in, your Dashboard will look something like the one below:

To Begin Your Survey Snapshot

  1. You will see a “blank” snapshot on your Dashboard. The top-left corner is the Event title OR says “ROY” (if you are not assigned to a specific Event).

  2. Click the Create Survey Snapshot button.

  3. You will then go to a page that lists all of the surveys you will take to create this Snapshot.

========================================

Surveys on the List

For the Event-related survey set, these are the surveys you will see on the Surveys list:

  1. Above - Playing Above the Net
  2. Below - Playign Below the Net
  3. Red - The Rule of Five
  4. Orange - Tangible Strings
  5. Yellow - Intangible Strings
  6. Smarts - How am I smart?
  7. Green - Growing the Balloon
  8. Sinkers - Weighing down the Baloon
  9. Blue - Scissor Cuts
  10. Indigo - Caring for the Carers
  11. Violet - Social Norms

========================================

Step 1: Make sure you have the right survey set.

The survey list you see should show each survey in the set. For ROY, that means you should only see Red, Orange, and Yellow listed.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you see ROY only and know you should be assigned into an Event (e.g., you are at a Phlight Club), then STOP - DO NOT BEGIN ANY SURVEYS! It means that you have not been properly assigned to the Event. Go tell an adult in charge that you are only seeing ROY; they will need to login themselves and assign you to the Event.

ROY only looks like this:

Step 2: Begin your first survey.

Click the survey Key name (e.g., Red, Smarts, etc.) in the survey list. This will take you to that specific survey page.

Step 3: Navigate through the surveys.

First, make sure to follow the instructions of whomever is supervising the surveys; Most of the time, you will take only 1 or 2 surveys during a session. It’s important to follow directions about which ones to complete and when to do it, because each survey is usually tied to other activities.

There are a few different ways to get from survey to survey:

1. Return to the Surveys list.

You can always return to your Surveys list and click to the next survey this way - there’s a Surveys link in the top menu bar at the top of your page or and also a Surveys button at the bottom of any survey page that will return you to the survey list.

2. Click to a specific survey from the Surveys pull-down menu in the top menu bar.

Click the arrow to the right of the Surveys label to pop open the complete list of surveys. The survey name already highlighted is the one you are currently working on. Click on the survey name you want to select it.

3. Click the Next Survey button.

Use the Next Survey button at the bottom of any survey page to go to the very next survey from the list (moving from top to bottom).

4. From your Dashboard, click the Complete Survey Snapshot button.

If you have logged out and log back in, you will first land on your Dashboard. Similar to when you first started this set of surveys, you can click the green button that now prompts you to Complete Survey Snapshot.

========================================

Ensuring Complete Surveys

On the Survey list page, you can check to see if you have answered every question/statement in each survey.

If you have successfully completed a survey, the two indicators are:

  1. The background in that table row will be green
  2. There is a checkmark next to the survey Key name

If you have NOT successfully completed a survey, the three indicators are:

  1. The background in that table row will be red
  2. There is a double-arrow circle next to the survey Key name
  3. In the Status column, you will see the number of statements answered / the total number of statements; that tells you how many have not yet been answered. Simply click back into the survey to scroll through the statements and find that ones with no green answer button highlighted.

See both instances in the example below - where Red is complete and Orange is incomplete (with only 1 of the 20 total questions answered):
