Asset-Based Student Interest & Identity Survey (Free Download)

Asset-Based Student Interest & Identity Survey (FREE Download)

Get to know the whole child—not just the student you see in the classroom. This 4-page, printable Student Interest & Identity Survey is designed to help educators and families share meaningful information about a child's strengths, interests, cultural background, family traditions, learning preferences, and experiences. Unlike traditional interest inventories, this asset-based resource encourages teachers to recognize and build upon the unique knowledge and perspectives every student brings to the classroom.

This resource can be sent home for families to complete together or used by parents to introduce their child to a new teacher. The insights gathered can support relationship-building, culturally responsive instruction, family engagement, and classroom planning that fosters belonging from the very beginning of the school year.

What's Included:

• 4-page printable PDF
• Family-friendly, asset-based questions
• Student interests, strengths, and learning preferences
• Home languages, traditions, and cultural experiences
• Family insights to support meaningful teacher-student relationships

Perfect for: Back-to-school, meet-the-teacher, family engagement, beginning-of-year conferences, and creating classrooms where every child feels seen, valued, and has a true sense of belonging.
