How will we measure success?
- Can students identify the type of functions we have studied (lines, quadratics, geometric shapes) 
- Can students create the correct equations 
- Compare to previous student work
- Conversations and observations with students

How to measure success:
-Are students participating in ongoing self and peer reflection of the Dragon's Nest student template, as well as teacher-led formative assessment via "teacher-student meetings"
-Are students actively involved in creating the success criteria for the Business Issues portfolio, as a class?
-Is the personal finance budget a realistic reflection of how they could manage their own finances, and is their reasoning supported by concrete sources?
-Has the student been able to critically reflect successes and mistakes made during the Stock Market challenge, and can they communicate how they would alter their decisions if given the chance to repeat the challenge. ]]> 2016-10-25 14:27:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jugreenwood/m71ohb1p1q18/wish/133019940 SCIENCE https://padlet.com/jugreenwood/m71ohb1p1q18/wish/133020072 If we compartimentalize the different areas of the scientific inquiry process, then students will be better enabled to solve problems and make connections between material and scientific investigation.

Success criteria:
-peer feedback
-individual reflection 
-use of rubric to check for understanding/criteria for success
-comparison of student work (initial and from after feedback)]]> 2016-10-25 14:28:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jugreenwood/m71ohb1p1q18/wish/133020072 English: If we can use 'How?' and 'So what?' questions in existing metacognitive processes such as discussion logs, worksheets, surveys, and collaborative learning activities, then students will better understand the connection between learning goals and success criteria. https://padlet.com/jugreenwood/m71ohb1p1q18/wish/133020352 We can collect student responses to questions on worksheet tasks and collaborative tasks to provide peer and teacher feedback on formulating better thesis statements for analysis of texts.]]> 2016-10-25 14:28:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jugreenwood/m71ohb1p1q18/wish/133020352 https://padlet.com/jugreenwood/m71ohb1p1q18/wish/133022586 2016-10-25 14:33:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jugreenwood/m71ohb1p1q18/wish/133022586 Success criteria will involve observing for full student participation during the activity, analyzing responses for key words (ie, menu layout, advertisement choices, and general structure) and individual and peer reflection of how their own website compared to the design of the analyzed website. https://padlet.com/jugreenwood/m71ohb1p1q18/wish/133023873 BUSINESS

Success Criteria: 
- student completed self-evaluation reporting what they are comfortable communicating (in spoken language)
- students will be able to speak/interact when given an example of a previously discussed situation with confidence]]> 2016-12-08 18:49:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jugreenwood/m71ohb1p1q18/wish/142650984 Physical Education https://padlet.com/jugreenwood/m71ohb1p1q18/wish/142651270 If we give the students an opportunity to view and evaluate video of their gameplay, their skills and team play will improve.

Success Criteria:
- Improved gameplay because of a greater knowledge and understanding of strategy

Success Criteria:
- student completed self-evaluation reporting of effectiveness of website (i.e. menu layout, advertisement choices, and general structure) and do so via individual and peer reflection of how their own website compared to the design of the analyzed website.]]> 2017-03-08 14:44:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jugreenwood/m71ohb1p1q18/wish/158670930
