Life is about to get crazy! You are busy setting up classrooms, organizing
class lists, materials and all the logistics of starting a new school year. Each
school year brings a new set of students with various interests and learning
styles. There are many ways to get to know your new students - spending time with them and having personal conversations being the best way of course! But
you can also use a Google Form to ask pertinent questions. It's a great way to get your quieter students to open up too!
Some questions you may want to include in your questionnaire include:
- What do you want me to call you in class? (preferred first name)
- What is your favorite color?
- What is your favorite food?
- What are you passionate about?
- If you could learn anything at school, what would you choose to learn?
- Do you like to be recognized for your accomplishments in front of the class?
- What characteristics do you like in a teacher?
- Is there anything that you struggle with in class?
- What do you do if you don't know how to answer a question or problem?
- How do you learn best?
- Do you wear glasses?
- What do you want me to know or understand about you?
- Do you prefer to work in groups or on your own?
- Do you like to read aloud?
- What are your favorite books?
- Do you enjoy reading?
