The Student and Community Interest Inventory is a way to systematically elicit and use information about students to supplement what you already know.
Anonymity allows students to share both positive and negative experiences with science so that you can repair as needed.

Make a copy and edit to meet your goals for developing meaningful assessments.
Notice how the sets of questions are aligned with the 5D vision.
Analyze your students' responses.
Use a spreadsheet to help you analyze your students' responses. (If you are using the Google form version, the spreadsheet is automatically generated.)
Use the Development Tool to guide your analysis.
What patterns did you notice? What was surprising to you?
How can we use what we’ve learned to help students feel like they are knowers, doers, and users of science?
