I would love to use data notebooks, digital would be awesome but we do not have enough devices for that, yet!
I love having the students know what we are learning that day/week/unit and following the learning pathways given to them.
I think if students know what is expected of them and then they share what they know and reflect, then teachers will know what is going on as well.

Student Managed Learning In Action
As a Special Education Teacher it is important that my students use Data Notebooks. My students used Data Notebooks for tests and quizzes. Students were able to compare there tests and quiz grades which determine what goal they needed to work, such as reading comprehension or vocabulary. I also use I-ready which gives you the assessment areas they need to work on. This data helps with writing there Present Level of Performance on a Individual Education Plan (IEP). I plan to implement the technology tool no red ink. I think this be an excellent technology tool for my students to use.

I plan to use Data Notebooks and Centers for Speaking in Spanish class!  Students will keep track of what they want/ need to know and assess themselves with online quizzes so that we (whole class) can spend more time on immersion and cultural education!

I think that it is very important for students to build a relationship with their teacher and within that relationship the teacher can build confidence in that student to understand the expectations they are being held to. With that being said when a student is able to track their learning, reflect on assignments, and share what they are leaning, the student is going to be successful in more ways then they can imagine. They are learning the content, responsibility, and self awareness. All of those things are important and if a student can recognize their growth or when they need assistance then this will help them grow as individual. I started with 2nd graders and they are able to use basic graphs to track data and I have taught them to analyze the work that they have completed through student led conferences.

I think it is very important for students to understand what is expected of them and have them track their learning. When students are aware of their growth that is clear motivation for them. For my virtual kids, I would like to use a way for students to reflect on their own learning.

I learned lots of amazing ideas from the Student Managed Learning session. One things that I would like to use in my classroom would be the Pathways. It is similar to choice boards but it allows students to track their learning. Shifting the ownership to the students allows them to see where they are and where they need to work towards. I really feel like I will have my students have a data notebook. In my current position I am 100% virtual and this would be awesome to have in the digital version.

With student manage learning using student centered activities helps with more student engagement. In doing these I would like to continue to track student progress as well as have students track their own progress. In order for students to do this, they need to be able to recognize and analyze data.

Here are my thoughts:

*A goal with a plan is just a wish.  As teachers we need to teach students to set action steps for their goals.  Just as many adults need accountabiltiy partners, so do students. I was amazed to know there are apps to help with that!  I specifically liked the apps Habit List & Balanced for helping students be balanced individuals.

Data Notebooks certainly are useful tools for students especially when graphics are included & when the data notebooks are used in student-led conferences.

Flexible Learning Environments including flexible seating & virtual schools really make students more comfortable, less stressed, and thus more ready to learn!

I love the flexible order of learning as a part of student choice & want to do that more often.

Here's a question I have: If there is no set length of time to master tasks or complete self-paced learning,  how does a teacher monitor progress and determine if students are learning enough in a given amount of time?

To wrap this up:  Student managed learning empowers students presently and best prepares them for the future.

I love how Student Managed Learning shifts the ownership of learning to the student. Every year we usually track reading levels (for growth) and sight words (for mastery) and we store this in a student data notebook. I did not know until now, that it was considered Student Managed Learning. Moving forward I would like to allow more freedom in choosing what kind of seating works best for their learning style in my first grade classroom.

I really enjoyed the Sutori article included in this section entitled "Guiding Students to Be Independent Learners"! It included 3 strategies to encourage students to manage their own learning: Inspire student motivation for learning, Coach students to set goals and develop a plan for learning, and Teach students to self-assess. As an Instructional Support Coach, I can definitely use these strategies to help the teachers at my school promote self-managed learning within their classrooms.

I like the idea of teaching the students how to track their growth in class. Even though we have PowerSchool, many students seem completely clueless as to how they're doing in class (especially the ones with lower grades). It would be helpful to have the students use a proficiency chart throughout a unit to help them track their grades and understanding of the unit. I have periodic graded notebook checks to incentivize students to keep their materials organized, so I could include this in that and require it to be kept up with. Another idea I liked is that I could use a formative assessment to check for student understanding, and then assign them different review assignments based on their scores and areas they need to review.

Student Managed Learning has become so important during the past year. Beginning Teachers need this help on innovative ideas on how to accomplish this kind of learning for students. Coming right out of college, these idea, videos, and articles are a great start for a new teacher to have for resources. With data so important , these are some great programs to assist with this. I am familiar with some of these. We use Canvas in our county plus others.

As a BT Coordinator, my main reason for taking this course in the Virtual Innovation Academy was to see if it was something that would be a Professional Development for my Beginning Teachers. This first module was great and really presented topics that would be a great benefit for new teachers. Student Engagement, Diversity, Student Centered Learning, Working with Disengaged Students, Student Ownership, and the 8 ways to Empower Students were all content and instruction with choice and voice that BT's could use.
