Consensogram is a tool used to identify a knowledge level or opinion that a student has on a topic. It is a way to quickly measure readiness levels of students based on student’s own self-evaluation.

When you want to know how comfortable students are with a topic.

· When you want to survey and compare opinions.

· To gain insight into how much children know about a topic before or after learning new material.

Ask students to rate themselves on a scale of 1 to 10 on the topic of discussion. A 1 means "I know nothing about this topic" and a 10 means "I can teach the class about this topic." Allow students to place a marker on the chart as to where their comfort level is. After the lesson, allow students to revisit the Consensogram and rate themselves again. This is an easy way for the teacher to see if more instruction is needed.
