Case Study: Riverview Junior Senior High School achieves improved teaching through student feedback with SurveyMonkey

How to collect high-quality student feedback to improve your teaching

Rachelle Poth, a Spanish teacher at Riverview Junior/Senior High School, needed an easy, reliable way to gather honest student feedback and encourage self-reflection so she could improve her curriculum and instruction. She wanted students to feel comfortable sharing personal responses and for the feedback to be quick to collect and analyze.

She began using SurveyMonkey to send short web-linked surveys and pop-quiz style questions about study habits, strengths/weaknesses, test prep, and the usefulness of outside tools. The quick, duplicable surveys let her adapt class structure, identify students who needed extra support, choose better resources, and share results instantly—informing midterm and ongoing instructional decisions.
