We know how important feedback is as a school improvement mechanism. Schools must regularly listen to stakeholders and are seen to act on what they hear. However, it takes a long time to design the optimal survey and even longer to analyse responses and create SMART action plans from the findings.
In this third episode of Get Started with AI, I show you how all this is easy with ChatGPT. It’s better with the paid version, as you can upload data and analyse it more thoroughly. I would suggest that anyone serious about using AI for admin consider the ChatGPT Plus account. If you’d prefer to keep things free, also check out claude.ai, which offers a file upload function. It’s also pretty good! But for in-depth analysis, ChatGPT still wins out.
To create the survey, you first of all outline the areas you’d like the survey to cover. If you’re not sure, you can ask the AI to make suggestions. From here, the survey is generated.
However, what takes it up a level is if you introduce key documents into the mix, and ask the AI to write questions to survey stakeholder understanding. For example, upload KCSIE and Teacher Standards and ask ChatGPT to write survey questions to assess teacher understanding of their role and responsibilities relative to safeguarding and teaching.
Once you have the data, you can dig deeply into it using ChatGPT data analysis. Look for trends, patterns, outliers, and so on. You can even ask it to visualise the data.
Do the same for student and parent surveys and you’ll have a complete data set to draw on.
Finally, take the analysis and ask ChatGPT to turn it into SMART actions. All in a matter of minutes rather than hours.
The potential for AI to save masses of time, as well as give us deeper insights into data, is already clear. And we’re only getting started.
