Student Inventory
Knowing your students is essential for building strong relationships, fostering inclusive environments, and tailoring instruction to meet individual learning needs.
Build Stronger Relationships from Day One
The Student Inventory serves as an efficient foundational tool that helps educators quickly build strong relationships by uncovering each student's unique background, personal goals, and cultural identity. By gathering key insights on individual learning preferences and potential challenges, teachers can easily tailor instruction and provide targeted, inclusive classroom support.

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 receiving special education services, IEP, or 504 plans.
