Dear all
Following on from the WP7 meeting last week, I have developed a series of
data collection instruments and protocols for the school interventions,
which are stored in a folder
<https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1YzuyDATghL1RnkyQxPchAWeU6WTVu1QP?us…>in
WP7. This includes all the information you should need to apply for ethical
approval, such as sample informed consent/assent documents, overarching
evaluation protocol (data preparation and analysis to come), surveys,
interviews, teacher reflective diary and documents detailing the protocol
for each form of data collection.
All partners involved in interventions this year should review the
documents, add comments and make suggested edits *by 6th March. *I am also
happy to receive any direct email queries.
Please complete this Doodle
<https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/dLZkGMra>by *1st March *to
arrange a review meeting to further discuss data collection. Please ensure
at least one member of your team, involved in the interventions,
professional development or co-design workshops completes the Doodle.
Unfortunately due to other responsibilities I am unable to arrange a
meeting prior to the 7th March and the 10th is the OMT.
Any partner waiting to apply for ethical review can use all of the
documents in their current state as amendments will only be minor - aka no
new data collection instruments and no new lines of questioning. If you
have any specific questions about ethics I would be happy to help, so
please get in touch directly.
Hope you have a lovely weekend.
All the best,
Carina
Dear all,
Even though we already had 1-1 meetings with most of you about school
interventions, it would be a good idea to have a meeting with all partners
to discuss common issues and questions about this cycle of interventions
I am sending you a doodle with possible dates for next week
Can you please fill it in *by Thursday morning*?
I sent this email to the OMT list, but if you think someone from your team
should attend the meeting please forward them the doodle
Best wishes,
Marianthi

Dear all,
Looking again at the project objectives, we noticed Obj. 4. referring to
building a Network of Schools
So we decided to create an Excel database where we should list all the
schools that showed interest in the project and use this list to create
this network
It doesn't matter if they implemented interventions or not. They can be
schools that participated in the training or just expressed interest in
being informed about project news. What do you think?
*Please have a look at the excel
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NjNsfuEq5wRU6pefibAgPH9mF6oLRKNwwvd…>,
and make your comments e.g. for adding more columns. *
*Also please include information on the schools you have collaborated with
so far. *
We plan to include this excel in M18 technical report
Best,
Marianthi

Dear All,
May I request you to update the following Excel sheet in case you have conducted any workshops with teachers in Y1 or Y2 (up until now) at your earliest convenience? This will help us create the report for M18.

Dear all,
This is a reminder that we will need you to fill in the feedback template for the "guidelines and framework" by next Tuesday (5 March).
We asked for this at the OMT meeting in December with a deadline at the end of January, but it was not as urgent as other tasks. However, we will report it in the technical report and then we will possibly need to present some findings in the upcoming review meeting.
You can find this template and a readme file (with instructions) in our shared Google folder https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Ue1bgsL0Oyu9ALzmtU6yvqmmVQ4PA6Mz
In the same folder, there is a questionnaire for the framework, we plan to try and get some responses from networks, before the mid-term review, but it is not urgent for you to take action now.
In March, we will create a link for each partner to use and collect responses from teachers, educational researchers, policy makers etc. (either in English or translated in your language if you want to).
Thank you very much.
Looking forward to receiving your input.

Dear all
Thank you to those who reviewed and left feedback on the surveys for
school students. I have worked through and responded to all comments -
feel free to continue the discussion on any specific points.* If you have
not yet reviewed - please do so by the end of today.*
We are now getting ready to send the revised surveys to 4 children, aged
11/12 (2 in the UK and 2 in Ireland) to gauge whether they are easily
understood by our youngest possible students and how we might rephrase
certain items. The latter is a situation I am keen to avoid as we are using
validated surveys and so changes may require re-validation. However, we
will make a decision on whether a) that will be a useful additional task
and b) feasible when we get the responses back from our young testers.
By the end of the week, we expect to have the final versions of the surveys
available to download for those who are planning on administering the
survey via paper. The Qualtrics version should be ready at the same time.
Tasks for you:
1) If you require the *online version* of the survey to be translated,
please let me know and I will prepare the files for translation to be sent
to you.
2) Once you have a translated version of the survey, please take a moment
to find 1 or 2 local volunteers who will read through the surveys to check
that they understand them the way we understand them - as mentioned before
there are many ways in which translation can change the way an item is
interpreted. You need to *note where challenges with translation arise*, at
the stage of initial translation, testing or even out in schools. And we
will report these in the deliverable where relevant.
All the best,
Carina
