However, I struggle creating the rigor that traditional learning environments foster.]]> 2016-11-07 15:18:38 UTC https://padlet.com/rblumke/PLShoutoutsStruggles/wish/135801954 PL Shoutouts/Struggles- Weldon https://padlet.com/rblumke/PLShoutoutsStruggles/wish/135834205 Students are able to work at a pace and on a level that best their individual needs.

I struggle to keep each individual actively engaged at the same time.]]> 2016-11-07 16:27:43 UTC https://padlet.com/rblumke/PLShoutoutsStruggles/wish/135834205 PL Shout-out / Struggle (Lewis) https://padlet.com/rblumke/PLShoutoutsStruggles/wish/135870244 I like that students have voice & choice in their own learning. 

I struggle with finding a way to give students accountability that is valued by teacher, students, & parents.  ]]> 2016-11-07 17:49:24 UTC https://padlet.com/rblumke/PLShoutoutsStruggles/wish/135870244 PL Shoutouts/struggle https://padlet.com/rblumke/PLShoutoutsStruggles/wish/135925865 McDaniel
Students are happy and engaged in learning with choice time.

I struggle creating choice activities that keep all students engaged with sportsmanship/teamwork.]]> 2016-11-07 20:02:17 UTC https://padlet.com/rblumke/PLShoutoutsStruggles/wish/135925865 PL Shoutouts/struggle https://padlet.com/rblumke/PLShoutoutsStruggles/wish/135960219 Fessel
Students respond better when they have a choice.
I struggle with keeping students transitioning smoothly and making rigorous choices.]]> 2016-11-07 22:38:54 UTC https://padlet.com/rblumke/PLShoutoutsStruggles/wish/135960219 PL Shoutouts/Struggle (Edmond) https://padlet.com/rblumke/PLShoutoutsStruggles/wish/135964100 Struggling students gain confidence as learners, because  lessons are tailored to their specific needs.

I feel like I'm constantly restructuring my classroom to find that perfect fit to ensure PL is being implemented most effectively. ]]> 2016-11-07 23:09:05 UTC https://padlet.com/rblumke/PLShoutoutsStruggles/wish/135964100 Student w/ Behaviors https://padlet.com/rblumke/PLShoutoutsStruggles/wish/135965802 (Stewart)

Students with behaviors need a choice or direct instructions to engage in their learning with structure all around.

I struggle with shaping the behaviors of these students then sending them to another environment where consistency and structure may be lacking!]]> 2016-11-07 23:27:40 UTC https://padlet.com/rblumke/PLShoutoutsStruggles/wish/135965802 Roberts https://padlet.com/rblumke/PLShoutoutsStruggles/wish/135971946 Students like knowing what all needs to be accomplished for the week so they can plan out their time. Also, with PL every student can feel successful.

I feel like I am trying so many different things in my classroom to fit in Eureka in the time frame, meet all the requirements for digital content AND teach science.....

Making sure ALL students are actively engaged and accountable continues to be a challenge.]]> 2016-11-08 01:41:01 UTC https://padlet.com/rblumke/PLShoutoutsStruggles/wish/135978373 PL Shoutouts and Struggles https://padlet.com/rblumke/PLShoutoutsStruggles/wish/135979795 Johnson
Students get a choice of what they would like to work on first, but they also can see what all they will have to accomplish so they can keep that in mind throughout the week.

I struggle with the students staying engaged the entire time that I want to work with a small group. ]]> 2016-11-08 01:53:56 UTC https://padlet.com/rblumke/PLShoutoutsStruggles/wish/135979795 Essex                                            I like seeing my students gain the confidence to complete a difficult task on their own.  Many get excited when accomplishing a TenMarks assignment and succeeding at it while on their own pace. Many will bring their computers to me, to show me their results. https://padlet.com/rblumke/PLShoutoutsStruggles/wish/135980808 I struggle with keeping all students engaged and on task, while attempting to pull small groups without interruptions, big or small.]]> 2016-11-08 02:04:34 UTC https://padlet.com/rblumke/PLShoutoutsStruggles/wish/135980808 PL Shoutout and Struggles chawks11 https://padlet.com/rblumke/PLShoutoutsStruggles/wish/136034721 Shoutout-I love sending pictures of students good work from Compass or ST Math to parents, so they can be proud of their child's success.
I'm struggling with students 'buying in' with Eureka math.  It is challenging for many.  I am working on conveying the message of blended learning that this is 6th grade math and we have to attack it, but here is work at your level-you will be successful and we will improve on Eureka math.  I hope that makes sense. :)

Struggle- Providing motivation to complete tasks when a student(s) has lost theirs is an occasional hurdle.]]> 2016-11-08 12:05:30 UTC https://padlet.com/rblumke/PLShoutoutsStruggles/wish/136056926 Shoutout-I really like that the PL allows students to work at his/her instructional level. Very helpful for SpEd students to stay engaged and experience success.  Tria_Yoder https://padlet.com/rblumke/PLShoutoutsStruggles/wish/136059041
Struggle-Sometimes I observe students just click through answers and not really understand the content.

I struggle to build a sense of accountability in students to complete all of their work without the need for me to check their progress throughout the day]]> 2016-11-08 12:19:19 UTC https://padlet.com/rblumke/PLShoutoutsStruggles/wish/136059513 Shoutout - I am seeing student improve as students and as people already. I see that they are learning how to be better as a over all person.  scaldwel https://padlet.com/rblumke/PLShoutoutsStruggles/wish/136065576 Struggle - I struggle to motivate students to complete work and turn it in. I have students still do not see the importance of class work and trying on assignments. ]]> 2016-11-08 12:52:18 UTC https://padlet.com/rblumke/PLShoutoutsStruggles/wish/136065576 https://padlet.com/rblumke/PLShoutoutsStruggles/wish/136067730 Shoutout - Students enjoy being able to work at their own pace.

Struggle - I struggle with students completing their work when working at their own pace.]]> 2016-11-08 13:02:22 UTC https://padlet.com/rblumke/PLShoutoutsStruggles/wish/136067730 Shoutout - Students love having the choice to work on things when they want in my classroom. Some students really enjoy that freedom to get work down before Friday to earn incentives.       Struggles - Students being engaged and on task the majority of the time. The students who are less interested in classwork struggled to finish tasks. jblayloc1 https://padlet.com/rblumke/PLShoutoutsStruggles/wish/136067838 2016-11-08 13:02:56 UTC https://padlet.com/rblumke/PLShoutoutsStruggles/wish/136067838 Shoutout - Students are generally more engaged when they can work at their own pace. https://padlet.com/rblumke/PLShoutoutsStruggles/wish/136068671
