Outcomes
What Changes After the Assembly
An assembly is only worth the schedule disruption if behavior changes. These are the outcomes schools consistently report, and the ways they measure them.
For students
- Name specific warning signs worth telling an adult about
- Explain the difference between tattling and reporting
- Identify two trusted adults in their own building
- Report facts — what, where, when — instead of forwarding rumors
- Know what happens after a report is made
For staff and administrators
- A shared vocabulary the whole building can reinforce
- Follow-up quizzes that produce retention data
- A visible increase in reporting in the two weeks after the assembly
- Support for existing climate, prevention and tip-line initiatives
- Discussion prompts for advisory periods
How to measure it
1. Run the follow-up quiz
A three to five question check in advisory one week later tells you whether students retained the reporting pathway. Aggregate the results by grade level.
2. Track report volume
Reports usually rise after the assembly. That is a sign of rising trust, not rising danger, and it is the clearest evidence the message landed.
3. Close the loop publicly
Without naming students, confirm to the school that reports were received and acted on. Proof of function is what sustains reporting for the rest of the year. Our blog covers the two-week follow-up plan in detail.
