  2. Learning Profile Pre-Assessment • The following exercise can be used to group students according to their learning profiles. • It is a great way to gain some insights into the interests of students and the way they learn. • It was developed by a grade five teacher in Virginia (as described to ASCD’s Carol Ann Tomlinson) as a pre-assessment activity at the beginning of the school year, but is transferable to any group.

  3. Learning Profile Pre-Assessment • Favorite subjects in school are indicated by head color and body color: • Math: Purple • Science: Red • Language Arts: Blue • Social Studies: Orange • Physical Education, French, etc. • Least favorite subjects in school are indicated by hair color (you can design fun hair). • If you are a boy, use shorts. If you are a girl use the pants. • Make the color pants with your favorite color.

  4. Learning Profile Pre-Assessment • Strongest intelligence area (using Sternberg model) is indicated by the shirt color: • Analytical = Green • Creative = Red • Practical = Blue • These could also be grouped by multiple intelligence areas (intrapersonal, interpersonal, musical, kinesthetic, logical mathematical, verbal/linguistic, visual/spatial, naturalist). • Learning preference is their shoe color: • Visual = white • Auditory = black • Kinesthetic = brown

  5. Learning Profile Pre-Assessment • If you prefer to work alone on project , put on stripes. If you prefer to work in groups, draw polka dots on your shirts. • If you like to be challenged and learn new and difficult things, design a hat for yourself.

  6. Learning Profile Pre-Assessment • Obviously, this approach might work best with a younger group of students, but what a quick and telling method of creating different groupings of students in our classes! • In older groups, various approaches include creating: • A coat of arms; • A musical instrument; • Sports-themed objects like designing hockey sweaters, etc.
