We have a fun activity during the first week where students design a lab coat. They put their interests, goals, and anything else they want me to know. It is so important to get to know your students so you can make those connections with them and help them succeed.   ]]> 2018-03-31 01:11:10 UTC https://padlet.com/ashanklin08/2lykbgq45337/wish/247564138 Reference ashanklin08 https://padlet.com/ashanklin08/2lykbgq45337/wish/247564228 Magana, S., & Marzano, R.

Individual Student Learning Goals- Students create their own goals on the topic you are currently studying
Commenting on Student Achievements/areas of importance - teachers should notice and comment on individual achievements made by the student. This can be in school or personal life.  ]]> 2018-03-31 01:17:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ashanklin08/2lykbgq45337/wish/247564368 Technology ashanklin08 https://padlet.com/ashanklin08/2lykbgq45337/wish/247564591 Polling devices are a great tool for identifying student interests. Students can use reflective online journal to set learning goals. Evernote or Kidblog are great tools for this. I keep track of my students through our facebook page. Parents post and you can keep track of your students achievements. ]]> 2018-03-31 01:24:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ashanklin08/2lykbgq45337/wish/247564591
