Kids pick a topic and work on it however they want to but they have to produce a product (writing, presentation, etc.) by a deadline or "overnight." Kind of like 20% time. https://padlet.com/clalko/wnurj6b3paxp/wish/240462617 2018-03-10 15:50:41 UTC https://padlet.com/clalko/wnurj6b3paxp/wish/240462617 Kate https://padlet.com/clalko/wnurj6b3paxp/wish/240462632 I love allowing students to turn themselves into teachers. I do this mostly in math, but I have a hard time incorporating it into ELA.]]> 2018-03-10 15:50:45 UTC https://padlet.com/clalko/wnurj6b3paxp/wish/240462632 Could you give them a "learning target" and tell them that they have to prove their learning in whatever way they choose? https://padlet.com/clalko/wnurj6b3paxp/wish/240462675

Putting students in charge of their own learning. Providing feedback along the way. Love having students reflect on their own learning goals! Compare their self-assessment to teacher's version. Also including in P-T conferences could be powerful. Love this. https://padlet.com/clalko/wnurj6b3paxp/wish/240462816 2018-03-10 15:52:45 UTC https://padlet.com/clalko/wnurj6b3paxp/wish/240462816 Betsy https://padlet.com/clalko/wnurj6b3paxp/wish/240462938 I would love to help students understand that it isn't about the right answer, it is about the learning process. If they set their own goals they will hopefully keep focus on learning.]]> 2018-03-10 15:54:01 UTC https://padlet.com/clalko/wnurj6b3paxp/wish/240462938 'Smartness' https://padlet.com/clalko/wnurj6b3paxp/wish/240462976 I use praise carefully and have to counteract comments of 'I'm smart today' so students understand that you cannot label yourself smart or 'not'. ]]> 2018-03-10 15:54:20 UTC https://padlet.com/clalko/wnurj6b3paxp/wish/240462976 https://padlet.com/clalko/wnurj6b3paxp/wish/240462987 This idea is how I try to base my classroom culture]]> 2018-03-10 15:54:27 UTC https://padlet.com/clalko/wnurj6b3paxp/wish/240462987 https://padlet.com/clalko/wnurj6b3paxp/wish/240462999 Yeah, this is an awesome idea. I wish I could throw out grades and just do this!

Just on Friday we had a FedEx day for students to research whatever they liked and they were able to share with others in the classroom. In the end students changed seats and naturally grouped themselves into groups that have similar topics because they kept collaborating! It was so much fun to see students who don't usually talk to one another sitting and collaborating on something they are passionate about!]]> 2018-03-10 15:54:39 UTC https://padlet.com/clalko/wnurj6b3paxp/wish/240463013 Brendan https://padlet.com/clalko/wnurj6b3paxp/wish/240463059 This is a really great idea. I think it would be beneficial to have students craft their own report cards before the official ones are published. Then, the students could make comparisons between the grades they gave themselves and the actual grades they received.]]> 2018-03-10 15:55:06 UTC https://padlet.com/clalko/wnurj6b3paxp/wish/240463059 Erin https://padlet.com/clalko/wnurj6b3paxp/wish/240463083 I love connecting back to big ideas/questions throughout learning. Put their learning in the real world. Transfer.]]> 2018-03-10 15:55:24 UTC https://padlet.com/clalko/wnurj6b3paxp/wish/240463083
