Those in the group who have worked with Sabrina know how great she is with kids, how completely devoted she is to her students and how hard she works to make her class an enjoyable experience for them. It might come as a surprise, then, to read the following from her:
Hi Ben –
You know that we are being evaluated here at DPS in many different ways, one of which is a survey to our students.
Well, as it turns out my result were mediocre compared to the mean for the school. So I challenged (in a nice way) my principal and we went question by question.
Well, as it turned out, all the questions I did poorly on were questions that did not pertain to my content area, and that were totally misconstrued by my students.
My principal totally agreed with me, seeing she knows exactly how I teach and she asked me to talk to Diana and rewrite it for our content to see if the district would change it.
Guess what?
Today I see that Grant Boulanger had the same dilemma and he wrote his own questionnaire.
Check it out, it ‘s simply beautiful and aligned for us CI teachers.
Please share it on the blog.
