Getting to Know Your Students

The web address http://www.educationoasis.com/curriculum/Printables/PDF/surveys/student_info_interest.pdf is an Interest Inventory I have located. I plan to modify the inventory, deleting the section on reading then I will be adding questions related to computer skills and usage.The survey would be good for grades 4-8, but can be easily modified for other grade levels

Learning Style Inventories can be located on the internet. The one I have selected is done online; http://www.learning-styles-online.com/inventory/. As students are answering, the seventy question inventory, their progress is visible on the right hand side of the survey; students can view changes after each answer. When the inventory is completed the results are e-mailed and are also shown on the webpage. The results are shown with a graphical representation. Understanding the students’ learning preferences for receiving and processing information will help guide educator’s designing of lessons and delivery of content. The grade level would be middle school to high school.

Helping students to develop all these forms of Intelligence will help to develop fully rounded individuals. The online http://www.bgfl.org/bgfl/custom/resources_ftp/client_ftp/ks3/ict/multiple_int/index.htm, Multiple Intelligence tool is a forty question survey showing the results in a graphical representation of the students’ strengths and weaknesses. The grade level would be middle school to high school.

. The Adventurous Women Learning Profile website http://www.adventurous.com/aw/profile/profile.html offers a free online evaluation. An explanation of the results is easily located with a click of the mouse. The one drawback of this survey is the text is written in the female gender, this may be offense to some male students. The grade level would be middle school to high school.
