My reflection goes here

# data[].attributes.body
Read through the CORE 4 and PL Mindsets responses and share one "Aha" and one question you still have.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Of the core 4 I feel that Integrated Digital Content comes the most natural for me especially thanks to having computers available in my classroom.

2. I really like the idea of students using a self assessment chart to track their own expectations of performance. Especially for programs such like A3K, I think it's a great idea to have kids make their own goals for how many lessons they should complete and how much their Lexile should approve in a set amount of time. This way they're working to not let themselves down and can be more internally motivated to go the extra step.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the most natural area of CORE 4 is integrated digital content and targeted learning. I am able to utilize my laptops in small group settings and each of my students are able to navigate our math and ELA programs at their own pace. These programs allow for students to work on specific areas in which they need extra practice.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Of the 4, I feel that Targeted  instruction  comes most natural to me. I use data to group my students and then work with them in small groups.
2.  The WOOP student goal setting,, of wish , outcome, obstacle and plan is another way to look at student goals.  This is a different way for a student to create a goal.

# data[].attributes.body
Of the CORE 4  areas that comes most naturally to me is Targeted Instruction. I use reading levels to group students into reading groups.

# data[].attributes.body
1.Targeted Instruction
2. Student Reflection and ownership: "choice day" Students will be able to be choose an activity on their own, so they can work on tasks that they are interested in/motivated.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Data Driven Decision Making comes the most naturally.
2. A new strategy for me would be the use of a data wall in my classroom. This would be updated regularly to aid in assessing student progress. The wall could be adapted for my kindergarten to second grade classroom by using a pictograph format.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I feel that the core area of targeted instruction comes the most naturally to me.
2. One of the 4 areas I learned about was Student Reflection and Ownership. Students become invested in their growth and progress. In my classroom, I would like to implement a learning menu that would allow students to choose what they work on.

# data[].attributes.body
1- Data driven decision making...
2 - Playlists looks promising

# data[].attributes.body
1. Data driven decision making comes the most natural to me. Then I use that data in working with my reading groups.
2. I liked the self scoring rubric for self assessment. I could use this after students have read a story/passage to assess how students think they understood the story read.

# data[].attributes.body
I am most comfortable with targeted instruction and date driven instruction.
I like the WOOP for student goal setting. I think this would work well with The Leader in Me as well as other areas of study.

# data[].attributes.body
The Data Driven Decision is the one I am most comfortable with.  The one I need to implement better is the student reflection.

# data[].attributes.body
I am most comfortable with targeted Instruction.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I think that Targeted Instruction comes more easily to me.
2. One new strategy is Station Rotation. I could use it more when working with small groups.

1. I believe that targeted instruction comes the most naturally to me.
2. One new strategy I learned is

# data[].attributes.headline
Jaci   I feel that the Integrated Digital Content works best for me, as the resources are already.  I really am working towards becoming better at the Data Driven Decisions, and I would like to implement a better strategy for exit tickets and assessment.

Integrated Digital Content

Missed questions from previous day.

# data[].attributes.body
1. For me the most natural area of Core 4 is Targeted instruction.
2. Student grouping- I will use small groups to focus my direct instruction. Students will then move to a secondary group for independent practice.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I think the Integrated Digital Content comes the most naturally to me.
2.  Student tracking their own data

# data[].attributes.body
1. I feel the most comfortable with Targeted Instruction.

# data[].attributes.body
Data Driven Instruction (thanks DIBELS) and Integrated Digital Content.
Student Data Binders-- Using them more effectively. :/

# data[].attributes.body
1. Data Driven Instruction

2. I love the idea of a play list or a flipped classroom. Although it is tough to have this work if students don't have access at home.

# data[].attributes.body
Target instruction and digital content come the easiest to me especially since we have Big Brainz and Think Through Math.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Integrated Digital Content is the are of the Core 4 that comes naturally to me.
2. The strategy that I can implement is tracking walls. I can help students set goals for how many lessons they pass and they display their progress.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Targeted Instruction comes the most easily to me. It seems to follow the natural order of things, and can be applied cross-categorically and with whatever materials you have. I think targeted instruction is the best way to meet each child where they are with whatever skill they are working on.
2.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Targeted instruction, Data Driven Decisions and Integrated Digital Content

I find using the data from the day before to most help in planning my instruction.

# data[].attributes.body
1 - instead of simply memorizing facts for a test, we can hopefully dive deeper into subjects, boring methodologies would longer dominate and I could use multiple models to reach different kids. Possibly even allowing me to use more one-on-one instruction.
2 - Determine how students will know and how they will track this
3 - What do you do with students who get fidgety when working in the independent station? and What advice would you give to other teachers who are struggling with management in the small group rotational model?
visual directions as well with screenshots
teacher to rotate from one station to the next
collect all their work for the week on one day
overtly teach impulsive students to learn to prioritize which questions are most important for them to ask.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I think PLs offer students a chance to work at their own pace.  This allows slower students the chance to truly learn the materials and faster students to dig deeper into a lesson.
2.  How students will track their own progress.
3.  What would you suggest for teachers who are struggling to fit everything into a short period?

# data[].attributes.body
1.  I like that students have the opportunity to move from one activity to another, which increases engagement.
2.  I would like to develop a consequence system for misusing devices or digital content.
3.  Question 1: How do you keep students invested and focused while they are working at the independent and collaborative station?
To create a point system where students earn points and are posted each day and earn prizes for achieving a certain amount of points (i.e. 500 point club).
Question 2:   How do you hold students accountable for their work in each station?
This has been a struggle for me. One of the answers suggested requiring students to turn in something for each station either every day or at the end of the week. I'm thinking that maybe a spiral notebook or composition book would be a good place to start.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I like the different ways that personalized learning can be set up, individualized or collaborative.
2. I would like to add procedures for when technology doesn't work so that I am not interrupted during my small group time.  I would like to have some students who are designated trouble shooters for the technology.
3.  What do you tell at teacher who is struggling to fit everything into a short period of time?  This is an area that I sometimes struggle with,  It is suggested to have the student complete the exit ticket or direct instruction at home.
How do you plan for blended learning as opposed to traditional instruction? The planning is the same, however it blending learning and personalized learning planning gives me more of an opportunity to focus on individual students.

# data[].attributes.body
1/2. My favorite point I've learned from this check point is to have a Tech Support Station/ poster to help my kids. I often get interupted with himing a student to help walk them through how to trouble shoot their program and would love to make a poster (or have them make posters) of the most common way to trouble shoot the computer (such as refreshing the page, check your spelling, etc.) then students may only ask for help once they have followed all the troubleshooting steps.

3.
A. One of the responses I found helpful was in regards to needy students. Her solution was to give the students post it notes (or you could have them write on the assignment) what his questions are and then move on with the rest of the work until you can go help him.
B. Another idea I really liked from the "general advice" section is to give points based on each group such as for their collaboration tablework. This adds a little bit of competition to their work and helps them be more accountable.

# data[].attributes.body
1. The Flex Playlist and Stations is compelling to me in PL.
2.The items on the checklist that I would spend time on if I was a classroom teacher are A)
Determine how students will know what they need to learn and how they will track this learning and progress,  B) Identify and train a student troubleshooter (tech team) to support minor technology issues (e.g. forgotten passwords, computer locked, etc.).
3. Two questions/answers to my classroom would be A) If a technology problem then

I identify a technology lead for each group. When students encounter a technology challenge that they can’t resolve on their own, they can raise their hands and request help from the technology lead. I tell the technology lead to spend no more than 3-5 minutes working to resolve the problem. If they cannot figure out a solution in that time then the student encountering the challenge should move on to work on a paper based activity or should partner up with another student working in the independent station.

B) Leveled groups or other factors too?
Sometimes it’s nice for students to work in mixed groups, especially in the collaborative station. I have found that allowing students to work in mixed groups during the collaborative station, helps the groups to stay on track and accomplish activities that the lower group of students might not be able to complete if grouped homogeneously. This grouping strategy also provides opportunities for students to work with strong language models and it creates opportunities for peer-to-peer tutoring. That said, I try to group students in homogeneous groups for the direct station, based on data collected around students’ proficiency on the standard I am targeting in direct.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Personalized learning is what special education has always been.  Refining the face to face specialized and individualized instruction with digital content using a combination of Flex Models, Stations, and Flipped Models is compelling.
2. Items from the checklist that I would like to add to my classroom are developing a Technology Support Plan and training student trouble shooters.
3.  How do you make sure that having two teachers in the room (Assistant and Teacher) is not distracting for students in the independent station.  Reminder to be mindful of tone and voice; speaking in a quieter voice helps to keep attention.
What would you suggest for teachers who are struggling to fit everything into a short period? The answers to this question were not very helpful because they all focused on the students doing work at home.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Personalized learning allows students to learn from different approach/angle (worksheet, games, collaboration, technology, etc)
2. Always have a back-up plan. Post directions visible for each center, strategic setting of the classroom
3. a: Post instruction with positive words without using words like no.
b. Assign a team lead in each center to troubleshoot/help first, instead of all of them going to staff. (visible: wear a hat with "I am busy")

# data[].attributes.body
Personalized learning is making sure that every student learns, at their level. Its giving the opportunity for kids who need extra support or enrichment those valuable opportunities with the teacher.
Troubleshooters for various problems. I currently have one. I think he needs an assistant and tracking progress on digital content.
How do you keep the students on task and invested? I practice each rotation and station as a group until the entire group can do it with stamina. Then if they have trouble with the station they come in at recess and "practice" until they get it right, not the entire recess just until they can do it for a few minutes correctly.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I like the idea of personalized learning. The ability to teach students at their own level and having them move on when they are ready.
2. Identify the students for trouble shooting. A lot of time can be eaten up by teachers helping students instead of students helping students.
3. How to keep them motivated? Nothing really new. It is sometimes just difficult for the motivation to continue.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I am compelled with how personalized learning provides every student with a unique learning experience.
2. I'd like to establish more routines and procedures for technology.
3. I like the idea of providing students with the work they are responsible for completing at the beginning of the week and collecting at the end of the week. I also like the idea of frequent changes in grouping based on exit tickets/previous day's data. Currently, I change grouping based on quizzes which are weekly and sometimes bi-weekly. "Switching it up" often would be an interesting thing to try.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Personalized learning allows for student choice. This creates flexibility for the teacher as well as the students to create and develop meaningful learning opportunities. This also allows the teacher to provide explicit instruction at each student's level.
2. Two items from the checklist I would add to my classroom are sending home a letter to communicate with parents about PL in the classroom. The second item I would choose is a troubleshooter  for the classroom if technology does not work accordingly.
3. Two Q&A questions I found helpful were: 1. What do you do with students who are "needy" of your attention? 2. How do you keep students invested while they are working at the independent and collaborative station?

# data[].attributes.body
1. PL is compelling to me in that it makes sense! You get the biggest bang for your buck with PL in relation to the time we have for teaching. The thing that most disappoints me is that we test in an opposite fashion. State dependent learning is a real thing, which leads us back to "old school" teaching of worksheets, fill in the blank, and work in isolation.
2. I would like to incorporate individualized computer writing prompts via One Drive.
3. I read the question about what to do with "needy" students and ones who constantly interrupt during direct instruction. The answer is what we are currently trying in the classroom--sometimes it works, but not always!

# data[].attributes.body
1. Tech based PL is compelling to me because each student can be working at their own pace on that they need the most.
2.I would like to add an area in my classroom designated to technology.
3. The most relevant Q and A question is planning to include technology in my lesson plans, grouping is the most helpful.

# data[].attributes.body
1.  Personalized Learning is great because it allows students to learn at their own specific level.  It would help students be able to not be hindered by easy material or for students to be overwhelmed by difficult material.
2. I would like to be able to create a system that makes it easier to assess students' abilities and to track progress.  In addition, I'd like to perfect the student rotations I currently have.
3.  I enjoyed reading how stations look with heterogeneous groups yet homogeneous pull-out groups.  While this sounds great, this is something I struggle with.  I also thought the way rotations were sorted, with low students being at the directed station first and and high students going to the directed station last, was very beneficial.  It gave me an understanding of how to enrich for my excelling students, yet also prepare, practice, and introduce skills to my students who need it most.

# data[].attributes.body
Question - Implementation is crucial for this type of environment. How long does it take to complete plan and rollout this type of classroom and what other support systems are in place for teachers who struggle or need odeas?
From Megan - Another idea I really liked from the "general advice" section is to give points based on each group such as for their collaboration table work. This adds a little bit of competition to their work and helps them be more accountable.

# data[].attributes.body
Ideas for different ways to track student data and ways to hold them accountable.
Did we just become best friends?

# data[].attributes.body
Ideas for student reflection and ownership that students can use such as a self assessment chart or checklist to track their progress toward meeting their IEP goals.
How to implement the Flipped Model- What do we have available

# data[].attributes.body
1.  The Flex Stations, the goal-oriented way these are meant to help students find success and the time-management aspects.
2.  I liked the communication aspect with parents, and the back-up plan if the internet goes down.
3. Accountability-give the kids a week to complete the activities will help build "study skills" and learn how to pace their learning. I also liked the idea of an "Early-Finisher Activity" for those who finish quickly

# data[].attributes.body
Aha- Tech Support Station/ poster to help the students trouble shoot.
Question-  How to hold students more accountable and express the importance of BL (like with smarty ants, I have a lot of students who should and could be much farther along).

# data[].attributes.body
My Aha moment was that I need to communicate and establish better routines and procedures for my PL time. I failed to think how the students might perceive how to accomplish things to my expectations.

# data[].attributes.body
Aha: Blended and personalized learning has endless possibilities. There are numerous ways in which it can be utilized in the classroom.

Question: Are there any other digital /online resources to use besides Imagine Math?

# data[].attributes.body
My aha moment was that it is important for students to help track their progress and that this can help them have ownership over their learning.

# data[].attributes.body
My aha monen

# data[].attributes.body
I feel that I can improve upon giving students more choices during small group instruction of how they demonstrate their learning. Also, communicating more explicitly PL to the students and review procedures daily.

# data[].attributes.body
My Aha is to give students more options in their learning about how they compose their work. ex. Worksheet vs brochure vs ppt.
Is there a set ratio as to how much of each lesson should be using a computer? How am I do meet this requirement when I do not have a computer for each student.

# data[].attributes.body
-It is important to keep students motivated as they learn. (Instructional choices, choice days, etc.)
-Centers: re-construct with some changes. Go over the expectations frequently, post visual instructions at each station, have students be in charge of handling some issues/questions on their own.

# data[].attributes.body
My Aha moment,  is to make sure that student goals are communicated clearly, and that expectations are reviewed. This makes the students feel more ownership of their work and their progress. One question I still have is how to incorporate more choice.

# data[].attributes.body
I was surprised at how many people chose targeted instruction as the area that comes most naturally.
I would like to know more about flipped learning--difficult to implement without technology at home.

# data[].attributes.body
Aha moment - I would use group points for Blended Learning just as I used group points in the regular classroom. I still have questions about lesson planning for Blended Learning since I have not had to do that in my current position. :)

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Sandi about how personalized learning is what special education has always been.

# data[].attributes.body
Ideas for implementing learning menus that would help students have more ownership for their learning.
One questions I still have is what can I use to hold students accountable for their independent learning.  How can I keep them doing their best and not just filling in a paper to get it done?

# data[].attributes.body
My Aha would be to remember that it is hard for students to sit for a long time.

# data[].attributes.body
My aha moment is that I need to hold students more accountable for their digital and independent rotations. My question is what is the best, most effective way to do this?

# data[].attributes.body
aha- I love the idea of using a WOOP goal outline in order to have kids think of a possible obstacle to help kids identify beforehand what will be difficult.
Q- I really like the idea of stations and using them in this way but still not sure how to best plan my classes this way because each thing takes a long time and I'm not sure how to keep the same quality of work expected while lowering the time for them to complete it.

# data[].attributes.body
My "AHA" is that I can post my expectations visually. Right now, I verbalize them before each rotation, I think if they were visual it might help my students.
I am struggling with how to use the data that I get from Imagine Math to help fill the wholes in my students' learning. I need to teach new content, but if the students don't have some basic knowledge, they will not understand the new concepts

# data[].attributes.body
My aha moment is that we are doing it already. It looks different in every room. There is always room to improve and easier ways to do it. I can always learn, and can always try to improve.

# data[].attributes.body
Aha moment is the endless possibilities for Blended Learning in the classroom.
My question is how to keep the "pretenders" engaged, accountable and on track with the standards
