Positivity Project VIA Survey to be available on Tuesday, February 25th
On Tuesday, February 25, the VIA Survey will be available to students whose family opted-in to have their student take the VIA youth survey. It will be made available to opt-in students through the grade-level Google Classrooms. The VIA youth survey is designed for children aged 10-17. It takes about 15 minutes to complete. Students take the survey by entering a class code provided by their teacher. Once they enter the class code, they are prompted to provide their first and last names so the teacher can match results to the student. Once the survey is complete, the teacher provides the results to the student.
Parents and guardians who opted their student to take the survey may want to prompt their student to complete the survey and share the results with them. Taking the survey allows students to access an individualized report about their strengths within the framework of the Positivity Project. This can help students to make individual connections to the character traits and lessons, which can be empowering and provide personal meaning.
Parents and/or guardians may preview the survey by going to VIA’s website at: (www.viacharacter.org/www/Character-Strengths-Survey).
