It's not always clear where students and teachers should spend their PRECIOUS TIME. ]]> 2021-01-05 19:27:33 UTC https://padlet.com/trichelg/561tbwkld7yzfedp/wish/1057151828 Isolation https://padlet.com/trichelg/561tbwkld7yzfedp/wish/1057152126 The isolation.  My experience with adaptive software shows me that students do better if they experience their first couple tests with a field expert.

I ask students to do ALEKS, but those who need it most don't use it. No points for HW with SBG, so hard to motivate them.

Students feel accomplished as they work through topics and see the number of goal topics go down. ALEKS does a great job of explaining topics before giving the students the opportunities to try it on their own and gives support if they still struggle. https://padlet.com/trichelg/561tbwkld7yzfedp/wish/1057153904 2021-01-05 19:27:59 UTC https://padlet.com/trichelg/561tbwkld7yzfedp/wish/1057153904 Does this provide personalized support ? bhardwajc https://padlet.com/trichelg/561tbwkld7yzfedp/wish/1057155622 2021-01-05 19:28:24 UTC https://padlet.com/trichelg/561tbwkld7yzfedp/wish/1057155622 Assessment time https://padlet.com/trichelg/561tbwkld7yzfedp/wish/1057155967 For each unit, students are assigned three different assessments in Aleks.

On the contrary, most of my IEP students with study skill goals need someone who will sit and help them focus and motivate them to complete the additional work. ]]> 2021-01-05 20:08:03 UTC https://padlet.com/trichelg/561tbwkld7yzfedp/wish/1057312706 Balance your time/schedule https://padlet.com/trichelg/561tbwkld7yzfedp/wish/1057316688 I need someone to tell me how to coordinate when I have 8 days to teach a unit, how to fit in the readiness check, my discovery lessons, my aleks software, my review, my test, my synergy assessment, etc. ]]> 2021-01-05 20:09:15 UTC https://padlet.com/trichelg/561tbwkld7yzfedp/wish/1057316688
