TODAY'S BIG IDEA
During today's Advisory:
Students will fill out the Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS)​
​
Advisory will be extended by 10 minutes so that all students have enough time to complete the survey.
​
Advisory today will run: 12:40 - 1:14

WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA?
The Big Idea is just that: the one nugget all advisees should leave the X-Block understanding. Share The Big Idea first thing - project it, post it, someone read it off the site, however you want to do it! With more opportunities for choice in activity this year, The Big Idea will work to anchor everyone to essentially the same outcome.

HOW TO GET THERE
This section will outline the instructions for the activity. As much as possible, different options will be offered for how the content is reached. Every group is encouraged to work together to choose the best method, with the advisor having ultimate discretion. Try to make these calls by the Tuesday before the X Block period so you can request any needed materials. [TIP: use homeroom time or the last 2 minutes of X-Block to make choices for the next session] This section should take about 10-15 minutes.

BEFORE YOU GO
A few minutes before the bell it is important to stop and wrap-up the actvitity, even if all the listed steps were not completed (remember: there are usually more things listed than there is time to do it - only to prevent idle time, not stress anyone out!). In the wrap-up, read the take away together, have a few people respond, and send along the responses. Submissions can be sent right through the webpage by a student or the teacher (BYOD!), just fill in the purple box!

Completing the survey is voluntary and will not affect your grade in this class. There are no right or wrong answers, however, please read the questions carefully and answer honestly. Pay attention to the different scales of time asked throughout the survey (i.e., lifetime, 12 months, 30 days) as this might affect your answer. Do not pick a response just because you think that is what someone wants you to say. If you are not comfortable answering a question, you may leave the question blank.
We will maintain strict procedures to protect your privacy. Please do not include your name anywhere in your survey responses. The answers you give will be kept private and the results of this survey will never be reported by name or class.
When you finish the survey, follow the instructions of the person giving you the survey. If you wish to change your answer to any question, please do so before you submit your survey. Once you click the "Submit" button, you will no longer have access to your survey.
