The Attitudes & Behaviors Survey is a reliable and valid assessment of the strengths, supports, and social-emotional factors essential for young people’s success in school and life. This widely used survey grows out of more than 20 years of research with millions of young people based on Search Institute’s framework of Developmental Assets.
This survey allowed us to:
- Discover the strengths and supports that young people have in Flamborough
- Hear the perspective of young people themselves
- Learn about risk behaviours and thriving indicators that are impacting our youth
- Gain a roadmap to guide us in proactive and focused planning to increase success in school and in life
- Enable adults to better understand the youth voice in our community and create actionable strategies in all sectors
We conducted the Attitudes & Behaviour Survey in late 2012 and again in 2015 with grade 7 – 12 students at HWDSB schools in East Flamborough. Unfortunately, in 2015 the schools were dealing with job action and so the numbers of students that participated were lower. However, we were able to get a large enough sample size to provide valuable data.
