IMPORTANT REMINDERS!

1. Prior to starting the survey, please read the Student Assent on the next page aloud to your students! Students must be given the opportunity to decline and not complete the survey. Students can withdraw anytime by clicking the button at the bottom of every page.

2. Each student has their own login ID and password assigned to them. Students need to know that their answers are confidential, so that they will feel more comfortable answering the questions honestly. It is critical that they know this is not a test, and that there are no right or wrong answers.

3. The “Tell us About Yourself” section at the beginning of the survey can be challenging for some students. Please read this section aloud to make sure everybody understands. You know your students best and if you are concerned about their reading level, we suggest you read all of the survey questions aloud to your students.

4. The MDI takes about one to two classroom periods to complete. The “Activities” section is a natural place to break.

Thank you!

What’s new on the MDI?

1. We have updated questions 5-7 on , Métis and Inuit identity, and First Nations languages learned and spoken at home. We have added a list of First Nations and Indigenous Languages in BC from First Peoples’ Cultural Council at the end of the Instructional Survey for your reference to assist your students in responding to these questions.

2. We have removed questions on weight and body image and have replaced them with questions about help-seeking behavior and transportation to and from school – see questions 58-60.

These questions can be challenging for some students. Please read Questions 1 to 11 aloud to make sure everybody understands.

If students ask about “in another way”, provide a simple matter-of-fact response, congruent with language your school and school district have been teaching, such as non-binary, gender non-conforming, or two-spirit. Alternatively, a possible response is, “Some people feel like a boy or a girl inside, so they can check one of those boxes. But others may feel differently and want to describe another way – such as sometimes I feel like both, or I feel like neither a boy nor a girl, or I am not sure.”

1 The “Geography” column was added by The Human Early Learning Partnership and does not appear in the original FPCC version of this list. 2 The “Language Names” are those used on First Peoples' Language Map of British Columbia (http://fp-maps.ca) and were compiled in consultation with First Nations communities. 3 The “Other Names” are names by which the language is known, today or in the past. Some of these names may no longer be in use and may not be considered acceptable by communities but it is useful to include them in order to assist with the location of language resources which may have used these alternate names. 4 Only dialects spoken in B.C. are included here. These are estimates based on our current knowledge. There may be variation in the spelling of dialect names and in the number of dialects for each language. We encourage people who share dialects of the same language to collaborate on language reclamation, revitalization and maintenance. 5 This lists the main communities where a language is spoken but all languages may be spoken in other towns and cities across the province.
