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.

AI Interview

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.

Message

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.

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

  • 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 template

A 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 Template

SurveyMonkey'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 Template

Typeform 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
