I want students to show initiative and express their individual learning preferences. sshore12 https://padlet.com/sshore12/dxd9m2973wcpi6dq/wish/1989562400 2022-01-13 04:01:44 UTC https://padlet.com/sshore12/dxd9m2973wcpi6dq/wish/1989562400 Dependency on Teacher Direction https://padlet.com/sshore12/dxd9m2973wcpi6dq/wish/1990922793 Students look to direction/validation from the teacher/instructor, rather than seeking that in their peers/classmates.]]> 2022-01-13 17:56:44 UTC https://padlet.com/sshore12/dxd9m2973wcpi6dq/wish/1990922793 Differentiation https://padlet.com/sshore12/dxd9m2973wcpi6dq/wish/1990923424 How to cater to students' individual needs and different levels, particularly with mixed sections]]> 2022-01-13 17:57:05 UTC https://padlet.com/sshore12/dxd9m2973wcpi6dq/wish/1990923424 Extreme Scaffolding https://padlet.com/sshore12/dxd9m2973wcpi6dq/wish/1990923673 Students seem to need MUCH more scaffolding now than they did pre-pandemic.

Others, however, are less likely to engage actively in the process of solving the problems. How can I prompt these students to be more active in the learning experience?]]> 2022-01-13 18:02:26 UTC https://padlet.com/sshore12/dxd9m2973wcpi6dq/wish/1990933475 Clear student "to do" https://padlet.com/sshore12/dxd9m2973wcpi6dq/wish/1990933857 Trying to find ways to keep students engaged throughout, giving them a clear "to do" at each moment.

School admin has encourage us to be lenient where we can and excuse missed assignments. I worry I have swung to a very accommodating side (open-notes tests, retakes on Canvas quizzes, excusing smaller assignments), which seems to have reduced student motivation to really learn. I feel I need to reassess how to challenge students and make things higher-stakes, while still not over-stressing them.]]> 2022-01-13 18:09:43 UTC https://padlet.com/sshore12/dxd9m2973wcpi6dq/wish/1990946858 Viewing "Failure" as Part of Process https://padlet.com/sshore12/dxd9m2973wcpi6dq/wish/1990949191 Students are looking to achieve perfection, and they see imperfection as a "failure" rather than part of the growing/developing process]]> 2022-01-13 18:10:54 UTC https://padlet.com/sshore12/dxd9m2973wcpi6dq/wish/1990949191
