Student+Interest+Survey

==This is a strategy is from the book ‘Fulfilling the promise of the differentiated classroom: strategies and tools for responsive teaching’ (Carol Ann Tomlison) It is similar to a profile card which is a card developed by a teacher to help herself and her students to begin to think about their learning preferences and interests. There are lots of personal questions that students can answer about themselves in relation to their interests, what they like and dislike about school, ways of learning that work and don’t work for them. When this profile card is filled out, teachers have a better understanding of the students wants, needs, interests, learning styles and capabilities. This helps teacher get to know students on a personal level which in turn help to establish learning techniques and strategies which will be most appropriate for each individual child.==

==This can be done with each child of the class, however for those children who do have additional needs the teacher may choose to sit down with the student to fill it out, it may also be to the teachers advantage if the parents of the child was provided with a copy and asked to fill it out on behalf of their child. Sitting down with the parents to discuss their chosen responses would be key to ensuring success and therefore as a consequence discuss an action plan that will enhance the students education and relationship with the teacher.==
