Teacher Performance and Classroom Experience Evaluation
Captures how students experience a teacher's clarity, fairness, feedback, and engagement using a rating battery and a best-worst trade-off on what matters most, then uses an AI follow-up interview to dig into the specific moment behind their lowest rating instead of a vague complaint. Built for course or semester-end teacher evaluations.

How likely are you to recommend this teacher's class to another student?
Identify the statement the respondent rated lowest in the earlier agreement battery (or the aspect behind a low overall effectiveness score) and get a specific, recent example of it happening in class — what occurred, how it affected their learning, and whether it was a one-time issue or a pattern. If everything was rated highly, probe what this teacher does that other teachers don't, anchored on a concrete classroom moment.
Is there anything specific this teacher could do differently to help you learn better?
What grade or year level are you in?
- 9th grade
- 10th grade
- 11th grade
- 12th grade
- College/University
- Prefer not to say
Thank you for the thoughtful feedback! Responses are combined with other students' answers into a summary report shared with school leadership to support this teacher's development.

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
- Uses a rating and agreement-statement battery to establish where a teacher is weakest, then triggers an AI follow-up interview specifically on the statement the student rated lowest, replacing vague written complaints with a concrete moment
- Includes a best-worst (max-diff) trade-off exercise so results show which qualities (clarity, fairness, feedback, engagement) matter most to students' learning rather than just raw averages
- Combines quantitative measures (opinion scale effectiveness, recommendation likelihood, grading-clarity rating) with an open-ended 'what could this teacher do differently' question and a targeted AI probe for richer, actionable qualitative detail
- Transparent about what's being asked and why, with a short intro/outro message framing the survey as ~5 minutes and confirming responses will be aggregated with other students'
QuestionPro
Course evaluation sample questions and survey templateA course/teacher evaluation template with sample questions covering instructor effectiveness and course quality, aimed at academic institutions. It's a static question set you can adapt, not an interactive interview. Good starting point for standard Likert-style course evaluations but leaves qualitative depth to open-text fields alone.
What it does well
- Purpose-built for academic course/teacher evaluation context
- Provides sample questions covering both course and instructor dimensions
- Backed by a broader survey platform with reporting/analytics tools
Where it falls short
- No adaptive AI follow-up to probe a student's specific lowest-rated experience
- No built-in trade-off (best-worst) method to rank which teaching qualities matter most
- No published methodology for how open-ended responses are scored or summarized
SurveyMonkey
Teacher Evaluation Survey TemplateSurveyMonkey's teacher evaluation template targets high school settings and offers a ready-to-use question set on teaching quality. It's a conventional static form relying on multiple choice and rating scales, with no mechanism to dig deeper into a specific low rating. Useful for quick deployment but limited for uncovering the story behind a poor score.
What it does well
- Well-known, easy-to-deploy survey builder with broad distribution options
- Template is pre-built specifically for high school teacher evaluation
- Likely includes standard reporting/analytics dashboards
Where it falls short
- Fixed question flow with no adaptive interview to follow up on a student's lowest rating
- No best-worst trade-off question type to prioritize which teacher qualities matter most
- No automated per-response quality scoring or transparent prompt methodology
Typeform
Free Teacher & Course Evaluation Form TemplateTypeform offers a conversational-style teacher and course evaluation form with a clean, one-question-at-a-time UI. It's a static template with no branching logic tied to a respondent's specific answers, so a low rating doesn't trigger any deeper questioning. Good for a pleasant respondent experience but not for structured qualitative follow-up.
What it does well
- Polished, conversational form UI that can improve completion rates
- Free template available, lowering barrier to entry
- Covers both course and teacher evaluation angles in one template
Where it falls short
- No adaptive AI follow-up interview or voice interview option to explore a specific complaint
- No max-diff/trade-off question to identify which qualities matter most to students
- No automated quality scoring of responses or transparent AI prompt disclosure
