MDI Dimensions

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

District Lead’s Role

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notify their teacher or email us directly within four weeks of receiving the letter and their child will be withdrawn from the project.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

Administrator Letter (for both teachers and principals) Parent Letters for teachers to distribute (12 languages available)
