Why is it important?
Self-Report Survey for Children in Grade 4 & 7
Developed through a collaborative process • scientific experts • teachers • children • community members
Used at a Population Level NOT used as an Individual Diagnostic Tool
Development of the Whole Child
Multiple Contexts: Schools Families Neighbourhoods After school time
MDI Dimensions Measures areas of development strongly linked to well-being
New MDI Questions Aboriginal First Nations, Inuit or Métis Reference list in the MDI Survey Administration Guide of BC First Nations and Indigenous Languages updated to First Peoples’ Cultural Council language resource. https://maps.fpcc.ca/map
New MDI Questions We have removed questions on body weight and body image. We have added questions on: - Help-seeking behaviour for social and emotional well-being. - Transportation mode to and from school and preference.
2. Strategies for launching the MDI
Preparing for successful launch of the MDI in your school board Encourage senior leadership to communicate their support Highlight the MDI at administrators’ meetings Show the connections between the MDI and the school district or school goals or priority areas Explain how the MDI aligns with Personal and Social Competencies in the curriculum Share examples of ways schools and teachers have communicated MDI results and used them to make change Ensure parents/guardians receive the informed passive consent letter – and include MDI announcements in school newsletters, websites and social media

3. Timeline for District Administration
District Lead’s Role • Provide resources and communication on the MDI • Lead presentations/share training and resources • Organize data collection • Provide support to teachers and principals
http://discovermdi.c .ca/mdi-administration
What to do next: • Communicate to your principals & teachers about the MDI • Encourage survey administrators to book lab time • Book 2 class periods for Grade 4, and 1 class period for Grade 7 • Survey works on iPads, Netbooks and tablets as well as desktop computers • Send Parent/Guardian letters to schools to send home with students
Informed Passive Consent • The MDI uses informed passive consent, which means parents are asked to withdraw their child if they do not want their child to participate. • HELP provides detailed parent/guardian information letters in twelve languages. • Any parent who does not want their child involved in the project can notify their teacher or email us directly within four weeks of receiving the letter and their child will be withdrawn from the project.
Information Letters Send to school principals: 1 2 Parent Letters Administrator Letter for teachers to distribute (for both teachers and (12 languages available) principals)
