Something I have dabbled in, but need to do more intentionally and frequently, is having students self-evaluate on the tested standards and then track their growth, as they see it, through the semester or year. ]]> 2022-03-10 20:52:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ChristineSnow/InnovatorsMindset/wish/2089151370 Center work - having a choice board for students. In kindergarten, students get overwhelmed or are indecisive with too many choices. However, giving them two choices per center would allow them to drive their personal interests. If students have a choice, they are more interested therefore, they are more likely to want to learn. https://padlet.com/ChristineSnow/InnovatorsMindset/wish/2089151662 2022-03-10 20:52:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ChristineSnow/InnovatorsMindset/wish/2089151662 For older students, teach them a series of standards/lessons. For review, have students create a game for review. Teachers could have a couple students due this for each unit. In order to create the game for others to play, students must think critically and really understand the standards. https://padlet.com/ChristineSnow/InnovatorsMindset/wish/2089151965 2022-03-10 20:52:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ChristineSnow/InnovatorsMindset/wish/2089151965 Centers victoriametal https://padlet.com/ChristineSnow/InnovatorsMindset/wish/2089152553 I've used centers in my elementary music classroom to challenge students on the concepts we are learning.

I want to create more reflection by providing lines for reflection in the notes.

I would like to find a way to recreate this in Math. Maybe by having students create, solve, and apply their own knowledge. ]]> 2022-03-10 21:00:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ChristineSnow/InnovatorsMindset/wish/2089161631 victoriametal https://padlet.com/ChristineSnow/InnovatorsMindset/wish/2089163617 I love using Chrome Music Lab to allow students to create music and explore.]]> 2022-03-10 21:02:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ChristineSnow/InnovatorsMindset/wish/2089163617 https://padlet.com/ChristineSnow/InnovatorsMindset/wish/2089164464 Our job is not to control the students, but to unleash their talent. ]]> 2022-03-10 21:03:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ChristineSnow/InnovatorsMindset/wish/2089164464
