Why Should You Use Interest Inventories?

Interest inventories provide students with a safe way to communicate their feelings and experiences to their new teacher. There are many benefits to this activity, including:

• BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS- When you reference information shared on these surveys throughout the year, it will show that you see each student in your class as a valued individual.

• CURATE YOUR CLASSROOM LIBRARY- See what's trending on each student's favorites list and look for materials that support their interests.

• PLAN EFFECTIVE LESSONS- Use information students provide about their learning preferences to plan activities that will make their new knowledge stick.

Included With This Product:

• 3 Interest Inventories
  • "My Super Fun Fact Sheet" - Learn basic info and student favorites, with a superhero-themed twist!
  • "Super School Subjects" - Find out which subjects your students already love, and ones you may need to build excitement for.
  • "I'm a Super Learner" - HOW do your students like to learn? Find out the types of activities that will best engage your current group of learners.

• Inventory Cheat Sheet - A handy way to keep all the info you learned in one spot, so you can easily reference it throughout the school year.

• Trend Tracker - What are your upper elementary students loving these days? Keep track of trends you notice while reviewing their surveys.

Ideas for Use

• Have your students fill these out over the first few weeks of school. I would not recommend doing them all at one time.
• Stress to students that all information is confidential and that they do not have to share any information they don't want to.
• Use the "Relationship Builder" column on the Inventory Cheat Sheet to jot down one way to connect with each student. Make a plan to incorporate these Relationship Builders into the school day whenever you get an opportunity!

This resource is not just for classroom teachers - special area teachers, interventionists, counselors, and tutors can also benefit from using these forms to gain insight into the students they are working with!

This resource works best with upper elementary learners.
