Knowing
your students:
Student profiles
Filling out a form is not developing
a relationship; but it may lead to or be a prompt for one.
This process should be seen as an opportunity for a personal
yarn or a series of yarns rather than an administrative task.
Many schools keep student profiles as
a matter of course. The template below has been derived from
one such case. It may provide some points which are helpful.
Another tool to use for pre-school students,
with notes for educators and observational suggestions, is
the IESIP
Preschool Profile.
Note that some issues may require
handling with high levels of sensitivity. Get advice and help
from an Indigenous staff member or community representative
in regard to the right protocols and to build your own awareness
of relevant issues. There are also issues of privacy, which
may need to be resolved. Be alert to these matters.
