Assessment
Learning Profile Pre-Assessment The following exercise can be
used to group students according to their learning profiles.
It is a great way to gain some insights into the interests of students and the way they learn.
It was developed by a grade five teacher in Virginia (as described to ASCD’s Carol Ann Tomlinson) as a pre-assessment activity at the beginning of the school year, but is transferable to any group.
Learning Profile Pre-Assessment
Favorite subjects in school are indicated by head color and body color:
Math: Purple Science: Red Language Arts: Blue Social Studies: Orange Physical Education, French, etc.
Least favorite subjects in school are indicated by hair color (you can design fun hair).
If you are a boy, use shorts. If you are a girl use the pants.
Make the color pants with your favorite color.
Learning Profile Pre-Assessment Strongest intelligence area
(using Sternberg model) is indicated by the shirt color:
Analytical = Green Creative = Red Practical = Blue
These could also be grouped by multiple intelligence areas (intrapersonal, interpersonal, musical, kinesthetic, logical mathematical, verbal/linguistic, visual/spatial, naturalist).
Learning preference is their shoe color:
Visual = white Auditory = black Kinesthetic = brown
Learning Profile Pre-Assessment
If you prefer to work alone on project , put on stripes. If you prefer to work in groups, draw polka dots on your shirts.
If you like to be challenged and learn new and difficult things, design a hat for yourself.
Learning Profile Pre-Assessment Obviously, this approach might work best with
a younger group of students, but what a quick and telling method of creating different groupings of students in our classes!
In older groups, various approaches include creating: A coat of arms; A musical instrument; Sports-themed objects like designing hockey
sweaters, etc.
