At the start of the school year a great way to get to know your students is by using a survey. Survey questions may be asked during a student-teacher conference (especially for very young students) or may be filled out as a questionnaire by students at home.
Some good general questions for the start of the year might be:
- Do you usually like school? Why or why not?
- What is your favourite subject(s)?
- What makes a great teacher?
- Is there something that you'd like to do better with or work harder on this year?
- What's one more important thing I should know about you?
More specific questions may be asked during a survey at the beginning of a unit of study. At this time the teacher may want to ask questions directly related to the upcoming unit such as...What are two important things to remember about multiplication? Solve this equation (8x7)? Can you explain how you solved this?
This relates back to getting to know our students as individuals (see Who Are We Here For? - Thursday, May 10).
