Build Real Connections with Your Students!
Hey there, teacher superheroes!
Start the school year off strong with this powerful, relationship-building tool that goes way beyond “What’s your favorite color?”
This isn’t just another icebreaker sheet—this student questionnaire is designed to help you connect with your students on a deeper level from day one. It combines fun, low-pressure getting-to-know-you prompts with a “Seven Levels Deep” motivation exercise that reveals what truly drives each student to succeed.
You’ll discover what inspires them, what challenges they face, and the kind of support they need—straight from their own words. Imagine how much easier lesson planning, classroom management, and student engagement will be when you already know what makes your students tick.
What’s Inside:
- A warm, approachable “About Me” section that invites honest answers about students’ favorite books, quotes, hobbies, and goals.
- Reflective prompts to uncover learning struggles and the best ways you can support them.
- The Seven Levels Deep guided exercise—a step-by-step reflection tool that takes students from surface-level answers to the real “why” behind their goals.
- Easy-to-use format for printed handouts or digital completion.
Perfect for:
- Back-to-school relationship building
- Advisory periods, homeroom, or SEL lessons
- Helping quiet or new students open up
- Creating a supportive, trust-filled classroom culture
Give yourself the inside scoop on your students’ motivations, strengths, and needs—so you can teach, inspire, and connect more effectively all year long.
