Standard 1: Learner Development
Welcome Survey
ED310A
An online survey that the students take on the first day of class. After the
class introduction/end of class students were instructed to complete an
online survey that asked questions about their experience, interests, and
goals for the class.
Students provided honest and recordable data
Sub Standard 1.1 - CANDIDATE NOTES LEARNER DEVELOPMENT
Does Candidate note changes and patterns in learners across some areas of
development?
Welcome survey included questions that gave insight to the students
beginning experience level and skills level related to the instruction and
projects required for the course.
4-Candidate ALWAYS does this as a teacher
3-Candidate MOSTLY does this as a teacher
2-Candidate SOMETIMES does this as a teacher
1-Candidate RARELY/NEVER does this as a teacher
NA-Candidate did not have the opportunity to do this
NS-Question is confusing ambiguous, or difficult to rate
Through the survey students gave data that allowed me to create a baseline
to track the individual students development of knowledge, skill sets, and
experience moving forward in the course. I am able to adjust my course
instruction to best accommodate the students needs to be successful in
class.
Sub Standard 1.1 - CANDIDATE NOTES LEARNER DEVELOPMENT
Does Candidate note changes and patterns in learners across some areas of
development?
Welcome survey provides data to track some components of learner
development, but more data is needed to accurately note learner
development.
Asking questions in the survey to create a bigger picture of the individual
student’s learning process such as: What are my strengths as a
learner?What conditions do you feel you are doing your best work? What
activities do you engage in after school or during recess?

Knowing-Our-Students-as-Learners
Create more of a student centered instruction, and leaving more open
ended questions for students to understand their role in their own learning
through the survey.

Implementation of Findings The welcome survey is a good start but needs to be paired with ongoing
assessments of student growth to track student development. Along with
recording growth from data from course assessment, I will also give students
ongoing class surveys
