I would like to make my praise more specific to help students understand their strengths and weaknesses.

This is great for autonomy but with a deadline.  Kids pick a topic and work on it however they want to but they have to produce a product (writing, presentation, etc.) by a deadline or "overnight."  Kind of like 20% time.

I love allowing students to turn themselves into teachers. I do this mostly in math, but I have a hard time incorporating it into ELA.

Could you give them a "learning target" and tell them that they have to prove their learning in whatever way they choose?

I like the idea of having students have a work day where they choose a problem or project to solve.

I'm continuously working on making my praise more specific, and praising my students more for their effort.

I love using this for students to really shine and share their understanding with others.

I want to become better at helping my students see the big picture (why learning Spanish is important and how it can be a useful skill in life).

I love "praise effort ands strategy, not intelligence"

Erin       Yes! Putting students in charge of their own learning.  Providing feedback along the way.  Love having students reflect on their own learning goals!  Compare their self-assessment to teacher's version.  Also including in P-T conferences could be powerful.  Love this.

I would love to help students understand that it isn't about the right answer, it is about the learning process. If they set their own goals they will hopefully keep focus on learning.

This idea is how I try to base my classroom culture

I use praise carefully and have to counteract comments of 'I'm smart today' so students understand that you cannot label yourself smart or 'not'.

Project based learning is good for this.

Yeah, this is an awesome idea. I wish I could throw out grades and just do this!

I have done this in my ELA classes a lot! Just on Friday we had a FedEx day for students to research whatever they liked and they were able to share with others in the classroom. In the end students changed seats and naturally grouped themselves into groups that have similar topics because they kept collaborating! It was so much fun to see students who don't usually talk to one another sitting and collaborating on something they are passionate about!

This is a really great idea. I think it would be beneficial to have students craft their own report cards before the official ones are published. Then, the students could make comparisons between the grades they gave themselves and the actual grades they received.

I love connecting back to big ideas/questions throughout learning. Put their learning in the real world. Transfer.
