They have to use all 4 transformations including the arrow notations for each. However, the path they choose for the final product, their theme, etc is completely up to them.

Being able to take students who need support regardless of labels has built confidence in students who lacked it before we began this idea. I know this isn't possible for all teachers and in all contents, but when it is available to do, it can make a HUGE difference.]]> 2021-02-15 14:56:34 UTC https://padlet.com/trelawny_shepherd/cq0nk139u6qm4hzx/wish/1203908584 terry_popp https://padlet.com/trelawny_shepherd/cq0nk139u6qm4hzx/wish/1203911410 2021-02-15 14:57:34 UTC https://padlet.com/trelawny_shepherd/cq0nk139u6qm4hzx/wish/1203911410 terry_popp https://padlet.com/trelawny_shepherd/cq0nk139u6qm4hzx/wish/1203923922 2021-02-15 15:01:48 UTC https://padlet.com/trelawny_shepherd/cq0nk139u6qm4hzx/wish/1203923922 terry_popp https://padlet.com/trelawny_shepherd/cq0nk139u6qm4hzx/wish/1203933848 2021-02-15 15:05:14 UTC https://padlet.com/trelawny_shepherd/cq0nk139u6qm4hzx/wish/1203933848 https://padlet.com/trelawny_shepherd/cq0nk139u6qm4hzx/wish/1203946619 Allowing a choice of when to complete an assignment (within a certain window) is helpful for remote students. It allows them to complete the work at their own pace. However, some have struggled with thinking all the work is "homework" since they are not necessarily using the 44 minute scheduled class time to complete it. The flexible time is great for some and not so great for others. - Jennifer Edwards]]> 2021-02-15 15:09:35 UTC https://padlet.com/trelawny_shepherd/cq0nk139u6qm4hzx/wish/1203946619 sierra_baggett https://padlet.com/trelawny_shepherd/cq0nk139u6qm4hzx/wish/1203952672 Each of the assignments I have my students complete for a grade is open for the entire 9 weeks. This allows them to not only take their time at completing an assignment, but also allows them to redo any assignments they are not happy with their grade. I give them reminders throughout the course of the 9 weeks as to which assignments they are still missing, but it does not harm their overall grade until the end of the 9 weeks.]]> 2021-02-15 15:11:28 UTC https://padlet.com/trelawny_shepherd/cq0nk139u6qm4hzx/wish/1203952672 terry_popp https://padlet.com/trelawny_shepherd/cq0nk139u6qm4hzx/wish/1203958281 2021-02-15 15:13:19 UTC https://padlet.com/trelawny_shepherd/cq0nk139u6qm4hzx/wish/1203958281 michellemarinangel https://padlet.com/trelawny_shepherd/cq0nk139u6qm4hzx/wish/1203975433 It is easiest for me to have a path with many options when it comes to my GTIS classes. Right now, they are working to design their own 2-week road trips with a budget and 4 people to accommodate. They got to choose their car (however it would affect their mileage on the road). I also incorporated the option for students to work individually or with a partner for this project. I have been trying to learn having a balance of expectations and enough support in the framework of a project for students to support a lot fo choice in how they do the project and what they explore through the learning process. I need to improve on this with my biology classes. ]]> 2021-02-15 15:18:49 UTC https://padlet.com/trelawny_shepherd/cq0nk139u6qm4hzx/wish/1203975433 https://padlet.com/trelawny_shepherd/cq0nk139u6qm4hzx/wish/1203977740 As a RISE teacher, we offer the content in as many ways as possible. We do the blended learning with students in person, on webex and the others complete paper copies that their parents pick up. Our students need a lot of support in just navigating the online learning systems. We have continued to practice accessing the resources with our students that are in person. We want them to be as independent as they can possibly be. ]]> 2021-02-15 15:19:30 UTC https://padlet.com/trelawny_shepherd/cq0nk139u6qm4hzx/wish/1203977740 https://padlet.com/trelawny_shepherd/cq0nk139u6qm4hzx/wish/1203988312 In the RISE setting, we allow for students to turn in the work at any point during the 9 weeks for credit. The ones that are in person don't need to utilize that option since teachers are there with them to assist with assignments. The ones at home usually completely rely on family to help them finish assignments or they don't have the support at home and need additional time to work on things or get help from the teacher. We provide paper copies of work for those that request it as well. ]]> 2021-02-15 15:22:55 UTC https://padlet.com/trelawny_shepherd/cq0nk139u6qm4hzx/wish/1203988312 https://padlet.com/trelawny_shepherd/cq0nk139u6qm4hzx/wish/1204071427 Give students a choice in how they show mastery of content. -Harper]]> 2021-02-15 15:49:26 UTC https://padlet.com/trelawny_shepherd/cq0nk139u6qm4hzx/wish/1204071427 jamie_halliburt https://padlet.com/trelawny_shepherd/cq0nk139u6qm4hzx/wish/1204083714 Meet students where they are by providing pre-assessments so their learning path starts where needed.

However, on the days that they complete independent work, they choose which order they complete their activities, as well as what books they read and what topics they explore. ]]> 2021-02-15 16:10:53 UTC https://padlet.com/trelawny_shepherd/cq0nk139u6qm4hzx/wish/1204136858 heatherware https://padlet.com/trelawny_shepherd/cq0nk139u6qm4hzx/wish/1204188080 A lot of my students go back and forth between learning in-person and remotely.

their learning place at any time.]]> 2021-02-15 16:27:19 UTC https://padlet.com/trelawny_shepherd/cq0nk139u6qm4hzx/wish/1204188080 heatherware https://padlet.com/trelawny_shepherd/cq0nk139u6qm4hzx/wish/1204198777 Some students do not have access to wifi that allows them to participate in daily Webex meetings. Posting pre-recorded videos and/or detailed instructions allows for students to learn when they can. Additionally, it allows for students to focus on their work when they get an opportunity to do so. Many students are taking care of their homes, siblings, and other things.

Giving students power and a voice helps to develop those relationships. They see that I care about their feelings and opinions. Students that work at home can choose when they do their independent work, as long as it is completed by the end of the week. Students in my class have a much more structured schedule. When it's possible, I ask them when they want to complete something. We vote on when to take a mask break during the class. They get to choose what independent work activity to start the class with and which to finish it with. The little choices are important, and even within a strict schedule, there is always room for choices about time. ]]> 2021-02-15 16:37:42 UTC https://padlet.com/trelawny_shepherd/cq0nk139u6qm4hzx/wish/1204218116 kameron_jonesbalsley https://padlet.com/trelawny_shepherd/cq0nk139u6qm4hzx/wish/1204477607 My 6th grade Social Studies classes are currently working on a project/presentation.They were given multiple topic choices as well as product/presentation choices. They also have the option to come up with their own topic and/or presentation idea. If they choose something outside of the choices given, they just have to check in with me for approval. By providing this choice, students are more engaged and it's fun to see how excited they are to share what they have learned with the class.
I find this much easier to implement in Social Studies than in my ELA classes.

I feel like I create a great deal of choice in the Designs themselves as well- they choose partners often as well as methods of their design within stated limits.  
I need to do a better job of choice in lead up to designs and wrapping up Challenges when we don't have projects though.  -Nate Dunn

To that end, allowing more time and being flexible with deadlines is the key. I find a good 25% of my kids are "ahead" of my pacing, 50% are on my "schedule" and another 25% are "behind". And that list can sometimes vary depending on the particular Design Challenge in my class. I do have the luxury of allowing kids to work ahead, stay on schedule, or lag behind as the only one really dictating the pacing is really me (and end of grading periods....To that end if I can adjust deadlines, depth of activities, amount of work and number of assignments to insure kids have flexible time to master a topic, I will bend the requirements to allow them the time they need to "get it".]]> 2021-02-16 06:37:46 UTC https://padlet.com/trelawny_shepherd/cq0nk139u6qm4hzx/wish/1205689496 baileycarmack https://padlet.com/trelawny_shepherd/cq0nk139u6qm4hzx/wish/1217346568 I have incorporated a lot of choice boards this year to allow for more freedom in what they choose to do. ]]> 2021-02-18 23:03:41 UTC https://padlet.com/trelawny_shepherd/cq0nk139u6qm4hzx/wish/1217346568 baileycarmack https://padlet.com/trelawny_shepherd/cq0nk139u6qm4hzx/wish/1217347919 With the changes we've had this year, I've found that I am offering more options when it comes to where students work on their assignments for the day.
