Mid-Year Family and Student Survey
Hello wonderful teachers!!
I recently created a family/student satisfaction survey. I'm going to send it home to my families as a check-in to see how their feeling about school, now that it's more than halfway into the school year. I think it would be a great way to see how they (parents and students) are feeling about school and to get some ideas on how to continue to grow as a teacher. This creates a very valuable source of feedback that encourages self-reflection as a teacher.

Family Resource- How NOT to talk to your child about their future.

Student Observation Log
This is an EXTREMELY simple form I keep in my binders for each class. There is a copy of this form for each student. I keep a clipboard of labels nearby during class, and when I note a behavior that I want to record, or if there is an incident in class, I record it on a label. Later when I have time, I stick the label on the observation form. Now my documentation is a piece of cake. If I need to talk to parents or administrators about a student's behavior in class, I just have to look at my log.
