We have gone through the process of recording and self-assessing a few times now, but the question is How Are We Improving??? My students have been doing a phenomenal job completing their self-assessment activities although it still takes much longer than I had anticipated. Our 30 minute class period is barely enough time for some students to complete the process. My plan had been to use apps to reinforce goals immediately upon completing the process. We are running out of time though before most students can use apps. Since my goal was to have students use apps to practice skills, I have to find time for this. I already open up my classroom before school and during lunch for any students who need extra assistance or time for learning, but asking students to come in on their own time does not guarantee that it is going to happen. I am thinking that a few minutes at the end of each class period may work.
I am also trying to figure out a way for my students to communicate their goals with their homeroom teachers so they can also track progress and reinforce skills and strategies. At this point in time I am just going to have students turn in their goal sheets to their teachers for them to read and then get back.
