I’ve been using the same base of a survey for years. Here are my previous results: 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020. I’ve slowly been adding and taking away certain questions. I’m striving to get feedback that I can actually use and that I care about.

Here’s the survey I used this year (It will force you to make a copy): https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1UIA_j9FCekEm3Ye96qIRjHzQD4VJFH4YzCv_rK9neq8/copy?usp=sharing

*Disclaimer: These results are being published because I like to go back and review them and see how things have changed/improved throughout the years. The rest of this post probably won’t be too useful for readers who aren’t me, but feel free to read if you wish! Reflection will be coming at a later date; these are merely raw results.

Anything else you want to say to Mrs. Grayson?

• Thanks for having me as a student.
• I know this is supposed to be anonymous butt this is h**** and i wanted to say you are a very good teacher and are always helping me when i need it. Im glad i got to have you for 2 years, also i think it definetly helped me with being online to have a teacher i already had before and i wish i had you again next year but thank you for teaching me so much about math i appreciate it!
• good bye
• Thanks for being a great teacher!
• have a good summer, and i will miss you!!
• Your an amazing teacher and im glad i got you
• no more quadratic song 😉 bye Mrs Grayson ❤
• You are an amazing teacher.
• Your my favorite math teacher!
• It’s clear she has a strong passion for teaching and for math. It’s just a shame that unfortunately a lot of students simply just don’t care. They didn’t come to class, they didn’t come to online class, they didn’t do the work, etc. Those students just can’t see that school affects their future – getting into college, getting a good job, establishing a good work ethic, etc. I just don’t think you can help someone who doesn’t give a hoot, that is just biding their time till they are out of school – if they even graduate.
• You are a good teacher
• Thank you for teaching me this year, I can imagine how difficult the transition is and I appreciate how hard you’ve worked this school year to make sure I am successful!
• Keep being a great teacher! I think you really care about kids and love teaching, and in the world we are living in today that could really help some kids out down the road!

• Thank you for doing your best to teach me this year. You were a fun teacher.

• you are a great teacher

Not only you make me want to attend your class everyday and having fun but seeing you as a teacher teaches me some of teacher qualities that I should use when i become one.

• Thank you for being understanding. Have a great summer!
• You handled remote learning the best out of all my teachers and you were very lenient and helpful. Will miss having you as a math teacher next year. the only reason i think my math skills declined is just because of the pandemic and forgetting a lot and less class time, nothing you’re doing.
• Thank you for all the hard work you’ve put in to try and make this class feel like a safe space. Your hard work does not go unnoticed and I am happy to be your student.
• Although this last year was hectic beyond measure, thank you! Thank you for your hard work, late nights/early mornings, and your patience with me personally haha!
