Small Lift, Big Insights: How the Tool Works

• Quick & Adaptable: Requires only 5 minutes of prep and 10–15 minutes of class time. It can be administered digitally (e.g., Google Forms) or on paper.
• Student-Centered Feedback: Students respond to 5–6 core prompts you select using an "Always, Sometimes, Never" scale, paired with open-ended reflection questions.
• Core Framework Areas: Evaluates key relational dimensions including Expressing Care, Challenging Growth, Providing Support, Sharing Power, and Expanding Possibilities.
• Actionable Teacher Support: Includes a structured Teacher Reflection Guide to help educators analyze response patterns, identify non-evaluative insights, and close the feedback loop with students.

Explore the Know Me Resources

Help students feel known, valued, and connected.

Strong student-teacher developmental relationships are the foundation for a positive and engaging classroom environment. When students feel seen, known, and valued, they are more likely to participate, take academic risks, and thrive socially and emotionally. The Know Me resources are for all high school educators. These four, easy-to-use, research-informed tools offer practical ways to learn more about students as people and learners, create opportunities for connection, and invite meaningful feedback. While these activities support all students, they're especially helpful in connecting more deeply with students who may not always feel seen in traditional classroom settings, including those with IEP or 504 plans.
