Honesty is the Best Policy


One thing I love about kids is that they are brutally honest- especially younger ones.  Some of them have not learned how to filter their comments yet, which can be helpful when you are looking for truthful answers.

I just finished Week 9 of my student internship and one of the components I have to complete for the University is a mid-point evaluation.  I complete one, my cooperating teacher completes one, and then we compare notes.  Well, I thought it would be a good idea to have my students complete one too.  After all, they see me teach every day and they can offer valuable insight into how I teach.  I used one of the surveys I found in the text  Comprehensive Classroom Management: Creating Communities of Support and Solving Problems, Vernon & Louise Jones, 8th Ed., 2007 and added two additional questions.


Here's what I ended up with:
This survey offered me some valuable insight into how my students view me.  They also liked having the chance to "grade" me.  Enjoy your day!

  1. I haven't gotten past the "kid stage" as I am not good at filtering my comments either, and sometimes am too harsh; and I am an adult. I love reading your blog, Kelly.
