Sector Boards, participation councils and programme teams
One dialogue calendar for the whole school-plan cycle.
Consult staff, parents, students and the professional field at the moments the cycle already prescribes, such as the school plan and the safety monitor.
Where it applies 3 moments
Where the dialogue fits in education
School plan, safety monitoring and consultation with the professional field, with demonstrable input from the groups that matter.
- 01
School plan
The school plan is stronger when staff, parents and students have demonstrably contributed to direction and priorities.
- 02
Safety monitoring
The measurement gives the signal. The dialogue gives interpretation and measures the school community recognises.
- 03
Consultation with the professional field
For vocational and higher professional education, a broad dialogue with employers, placement companies and alumni makes the fit with practice demonstrable.
Dialogue calendar 4 moments
One calendar, aligned with the cycle you already have
For a board with several schools there is one calendar and one report format, so trends per school and per edition become visible.
| Moment | Dialogue | What it delivers |
|---|---|---|
| Start of the school-plan cycle | School-plan dialogue | Directions with support per group |
| Annually | Safety-monitor follow-up | Interpretation and measures with support |
| Curriculum evaluation | Professional-field consultation | Evidence of the fit with practice |
| Per advice request | Participation-council consultation | Positions with a percentage of support |
Questions from education
Is your question not listed? Ask it in an introductory call.
Can students take part in this?
Yes, with adapted question wording. In an anonymous dialogue, students give honest, usable answers.
Does this replace satisfaction surveys?
No. The dialogue deepens existing surveys and shows the why behind the numbers.
Seven moments when you want to hear from your organisation
Every application works with the same live dialogue.
- View: deepen your employee survey
Deepen your employee survey
The survey results are in, but the why is missing. One dialogue around the key scores delivers a prioritised action list.
- View: change
Change
A reorganisation, merger or measure has to land. Gauge the concerns before you break the news, and again afterwards.
- View: psychological safety
Psychological safety
An anonymous dialogue about topics people do not discuss out loud. With reporting for the board, HR and the works council.
- View: test a decision
Test a decision
There is a plan on the table. Test where the support is and which objections you need to take seriously.
- View: strategy
Strategy
A strategy only works when people understand it and dare to question it. Let teams and layers respond to it.
- View: consultation
Consultation
Hear large groups in one hour and make visible where they differ and which direction gets support.
- View: continuous listening
Continuous listening
Do not wait for signals to escalate. A fixed dialogue calendar lets leadership hear periodically what is changing.
Ask one question of everyone it concerns
In a demo you see Upvoice with your own question: what you ask, who you invite and what you'll have at the end.
