On the first day of class, have students write down, in order, their three main goals for the class, what they hope to accomplish. This can be done anonymously on index cards handed out. The teacher should then collect and compile a list of goals to refer to as the class progresses.

 

With this activity the teacher has created an informal needs assessment toward which to tailor instruction. Targeting student needs increases motivation and success in class.
