New TCC Student Questionnaire

Poinciana FL

New students often remark with surprise and delight about something that has changed or improved for them since starting their T’ai Chi Chih classes. “Could this be due to Tái Chi Chih?” they wonder. As teachers we are privileged to hear many stories of transformation from students.

How do we capture these stories and remarkable changes students note early in their practice? Some stories make it into an issue of Blooming the Flower. It’s great to be able to tell stories to new prospects, and how much better to be able to tell new prospects with some authority about the changes your own students have observed.

This is the idea behind the Student Reaction Questionnaire being piloted by a handful of TCC teachers. It includes 12 questions relating to physical, mental, emotional and spiritual areas. The questionnaire is designed to be a quick survey done before the first class starts and during the last class in a series of six, eight or more classes. It takes a couple of minutes to complete and students do not put their name on it, so we can offer confidentiality.

If any teacher is interested in using this survey while we are in the pilot testing phase, we welcome more trials. We want to find out whether the survey is easy to understand and easy to administer. Please let us know if you’d like to use it with a newly starting group. We’ll be happy to send it to anyone who would like to see it. Feedback is welcome and appreciated. Please contact:
