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!
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.
ReplyDeleteI love it Erica! I'll give you a survey too. :)
