Surveys

Student Profile Survey
*Very easy and fun way to learn more about your students in a simple setting. This survey is helpful in finding ways your students learn best. As a teacher it would be very beneficial to use this survey to easily meet the needs of your students. I really like this survey and I would have the children in my class complete the whole thing. I believe this survey could help me become one step closer to meeting the different needs of the students in my classroom.
Student Interest Survey
*This survey is beneficial in other ways than the student profile survey. This survey helps a teacher to learn more of the students interest in their classroom. Children love to talk about themselves. This survey would be a great way for students to share information about themselves and not take up too much class time.
More and More and More
* There are so many ways you can use pre-assessments in your classroom. I really like the first one, especially for the younger grades. This is an easy way to get an idea about how the students in your class feel about reading and writing. I also liked these surveys because they were short and the younger students could feel them out with out loosing concentration. These different surveys about reading helps not only the teacher, but the student as well. The surveys help the student to know: what reading they are interested in, do they picture what they read, etc. The writing surveys help teachers and students as well by finding out what students like to write about, etc.
Also within these surveys there is so much a teacher can pre-asses a student by using them. I especially like, "Focus Questions for Anecdutal Notes: Reading Intermediate." This survey is for the teacher, it will help the teacher find out more about what level of reading a certain child is at, what the student likes to read, is the student reading within their reading level, etc.
