Student Profile Survey

Student profile survey's are a good way to learn about your students. Student profile survey's get your students to think about their learning preferences and interests. This is a great way to begin differentiating your classroom based on your students learning preferences and interests.

In Fulfilling the promise of the differentiated classroom by Carol Ann Tomlinson, there is an explanation of Student profile Survey's.
