I encourage students to break their long-term goals down into short-term goals and define the criteria for their success by whether or not they accomplish those short-term goals. This builds transparency, and makes long-term goals seem more within reach.

Giving resources to students can improve their success into reaching and achieving their goals.

Student participation in the creation of a rubric helps them to identify the learning objective and the expectation of the ned product. They should be provided with samples of what the end product would look like at each level, to provide a visual for comparison.

As an instructional assistant, I work with a one-to-one student. I like to ask what goals she has for herself, and what steps she can take to work towards them. In addition, I collaborated with my student to create and manage a spreadsheet to keep track of her assignments.

In the creation of a rubric, give students examples to read/see so they understand what a passing example looks like vs non-passing example.Have them point out where the examples are strong, weak, and what they would do to make improvements so that they have these ideas on what to do or not do. This time can also be used to help students see that respectfully critiquing/correcting an example is meant to help improve rather than assume or imply that the person who did the example is "dumb."

Student involvement in the rubric creation process increases student investment and therefore participation. Students will also understand and visualize the next goal and how they might be able to reach it.

Make sure that students have opportunities to improve upon completed work to increase scores.

Having students involved in the process of creating rubrics allows them to have a clear understanding of expectations. It also gives them greater power in the classroom and therefore has them more actively involved.

It's important to make the expectations as clear as possible and to spend the time making sure the students understand the learning targets and how we can help them be successful.

By working with students to create a rubric, students are able to see and understand what they need to do in order to be successful. This is specifically a good practice so both students and teacher are on the same page with expectations. This also allows students a chance to self-assess while working on the assignment/project in case they need to make revisions or get extra help.

It is important to give our students the resources needed to be successful. We are to create a learning community that promotes growth mindset, give voices to the learners and get to know them, and it is also important to communicate as clear as possible the expectations and goals of the learning experience.

Use students to create the rubric for our first writing assignment based on the essential standards for the unit.  Ask students to find/create exemplars for each level of the rubric.
