I could see myself using many of the pre-assessment forms. The multiple intelligence information would probably be beneficial but I don't see myself using it-it seems too exhaustive for students. I liked the questions on the interest survey but prefer the ones in the "Fulfilling the Promise" book, they were the right length.
Probably what I really liked the best were the focus questions for anecdotal notes in different subjects. I imagine it will take a while as a new teacher to be comfortable knowing what to look for in students and then being able to determine where their needs are and how I can best help them. These focus questions will help me get a ton of information about the individual students and where they may be lacking.

I agree... the MI survey seems like too much information to manage, for me. I MIGHT feel differently if I had just one class. But it's a lot of stuff to "keep track of." You will get some practice in figuring out what you need to learn about kids in order to differentiate for them, in field. During field in November you will choose two different types of inventories and give them to your class. Then, after field but before student teaching, you will write two lesson plans that utilize the information you got in those pre-assessments.
