A Blueprint for Full Implementation

Step 1: Create a template that you can re-use and revise.

Once you have found a platform, it’s time to start developing some templates that you can use with all of your classes for different kinds of data collection. Here are a few tips:

Make the form generic, but include a question that allows the students to say which class they are in. This general query makes the form easily customizable. This will also help when cutting and pasting to create new forms.

Make sure the form has a clear purpose. For example, if you’re preparing for a conference, label it as such, and include goal setting and feedback collection. At the end of the term you may want a lengthier reflective form that can also serve as a scaffolding tool. Be cautious, though, because long forms tend to get clunky in the middle.

Keep most forms short, something the students can fill out in a few minutes.

Create a form to use as an exit ticket at the end of class.

Consider creating forms describing growth around specific standards or skills.

Always ask yourself, “What data do I need?” and ask students for the information that matches your needs.
