Q07
Multiple ChoiceRequired

Would you recommend this teacher to another student choosing between class sections?

  • Yes, definitely
  • Probably
  • Probably not
  • No, definitely not
Q08
AI Interview

Ask the student about one specific class session or assignment from this term that shaped their overall effectiveness rating, and have them describe exactly what happened and how the teacher responded. If they rated the teacher low, probe what would have changed the outcome; if they rated the teacher high, probe what the teacher does differently from other teachers they've had. If they flagged a specific 'improve most' item, connect it back to a concrete recent example.

Q11
Message

Thanks so much for your honest feedback! Your responses will be combined with other students' answers into a summary report shared with school leadership and the teacher, without your name attached.

What’s included

  • AI follow-ups

    Adaptive probes on open-ended answers that pull out detail a static form would miss.

  • Attention checks

    Built-in safeguards against rushed answers and low-quality respondents.

  • AI-drafted copy

    Wording, ordering, and branching written by the AI — tuned to your research goal.

  • Auto report

    Themes, quotes, and a plain-English summary write themselves once responses come in.

How it compares

We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.

Why this template

  • Combines structured ratings on instructional clarity, fairness, availability, and classroom management with a matrix and max-diff to prioritize what matters most to students
  • Includes an AI follow-up interview that asks each student about one specific class session or assignment, surfacing the concrete moment behind their overall rating instead of just a number
  • Captures grade level and subject via short, low-friction fields so results can be segmented by course without turning the survey into a long form
  • Auto-generates reports from responses, giving department chairs and instructional coaches a synthesized view rather than raw spreadsheet exports

SurveyMonkey

Teacher Evaluation Survey Template

A ready-to-field template covering standard teacher evaluation dimensions like instruction quality and classroom environment. It's a static question set aimed at broad administrative use rather than being tailored specifically to unpacking individual student experiences. Good for quick deployment but relies on fixed-choice and rating items only.

What it does well

  • Fielding-ready template that can be deployed immediately
  • Backed by SurveyMonkey's established survey distribution and analysis tools
  • Likely customizable question library for adapting to different grade levels or subjects

Where it falls short

  • No adaptive follow-up questioning — every student sees the same fixed items regardless of their answers
  • No mechanism to probe a specific classroom moment behind a low or high rating
  • No published methodology on how questions were validated or scored

Jotform

High School Student Evaluation Form Template

A form-builder template for gathering high school student evaluation data, benefiting from Jotform's drag-and-drop customization and integrations. It appears to be a general student evaluation form rather than one purpose-built around teacher effectiveness dimensions like fairness and availability. As a form, it's built for data collection, not automated analysis of open-ended responses.

What it does well

  • Easy drag-and-drop customization within Jotform's form builder
  • Wide range of integrations (e.g., spreadsheets, storage, notifications)
  • Flexible for adapting to different evaluation contexts beyond teachers

Where it falls short

  • Static field-based form with no adaptive AI interview to dig into specifics behind a rating
  • No automated per-response quality scoring of open-ended feedback
  • No built-in report generation summarizing qualitative themes

QuestionPro

Course evaluation sample questions and survey template

This page offers sample course/teacher evaluation questions alongside a template, functioning partly as a question-bank guide rather than a single fielding-ready survey. It covers common course evaluation angles, useful as a reference for question design. It's positioned for general course evaluation rather than specifically isolating a moment that shaped a student's overall rating.

What it does well

  • Broad library of sample questions across course evaluation topics
  • Backed by QuestionPro's survey logic and reporting features
  • Useful as a reference for question wording and structure

Where it falls short

  • Presented largely as sample questions/guide content rather than a single ready-to-launch survey flow
  • No adaptive AI-driven follow-up interview to explore a specific class session or assignment
  • No transparent, published prompt methodology for any AI-assisted analysis
