Grade the Teacher 2012

I would like you to take the following survey to help me determine the strengths and weakness of my techniques and activities in class this year. Your input is very important to me. Please take time to write any comments that you wish on the last question. I won't be able to tell who submits each survey, unless you chose to include your name. Thanks for your time!

  1. Give me your thoughts on graphic organizers. Do you like them or not? Do they help you learn?

  1. Now to sum it all up - please be honest - What overall rating would you give Mrs. Kincaid on how well she teaches this class - not on how hard the material is but on how well it is presented, the activities, assignments. You can consider if enough things are done to learn the material. The next question asks you to explain your rating. Use a scale of 1 to 9 ?? ( 1 is the lowest and 9 is the highest)
    *
    1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9


  1. Explain why the rating you gave in question 11. Please start with the number of your rating and then explain. Try to give some specific examples. You can give both positive and negative comments. ( Example if you rated a 7 what was good and what kept from being higher) This will really help me see the things that are good and help me change things that are not. Thanks!
