Teaching tips & learning objectives

Teaching tips

  • Hand it out during the first class period alongside other beginning-of-year procedures so responses reflect students' honest first impressions.

  • Use the "I learn best when..." and "I am motivated by..." sections to inform early seating and grouping decisions.

  • Keep completed inventories on file to refer back to during parent conferences or when planning differentiated activities.

Skills covered

  • Self-reflection — students identify their own preferred learning modes (reading, video, hands-on, explanation) and motivators.

  • Goal-setting — students write a stated goal for the class in the open-response section.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

How could a teacher use the responses to the "I learn best when" and "I am motivated by" sections when planning early lessons?

Because the form separates learning-style preference from motivation type, a teacher can cross-reference the two to group students or choose activity formats (hands-on vs. reading vs. video) that match how a given student both learns and stays engaged.
