Fulfilling the Promise 100-103

I liked the survey on page 102 it would be a great way for a teacher to get to know their students. It gives a little insight into their personality. It will also help a new teacher to be able to see how students learn best and then can use that information to create lesson plans or to tweak them.

I loved the attitude and interest survey that was online. It is easy and would be great for background on your students and what they think about reading. You can see who likes reading and who doesn't. I loved the ones about math. You could use these to see where students are before you start a section. This helps to let you know where to focus and what the students will need the most help in. I liked the six trait guide to revision it is helpful to students without them coming to the teacher for help.

I would most likely use most of the surveys in my class. I would vary when I used them and would also try to see which ones work best for which students. There were a few of them that I would do a before and after with to let the students know how and where they have progressed.

Sounds like you took a good, thorough look through the pre-assessments. What did you think of taking a writing sample? Do you think you'll use it? 4 points
