She will be thrilled to know that. Congratulations on tackling the “feedback” challenge. It is big one that will take a career to crack. But as you said you are now “read for take off”
Congrats on some great work! You should feel really good about…Read more

You’ll hear it a hundred times or more tomorrow, but this truly is the “end of the beginning”.

I achieved connecting with one school rather than 4 but it was a meaningful connection and one that I hope will be ongoing.
Love the idea of encouraging students to identify the next step. Often the feedback goes well and conferencing does too, then the next step doesn’t happen.

There’s nothing wrong with having a long list of to do’s and not getting to all of them – it just means you have lots of great ideas. Shift some of them to the next term, or even next year. Keep building on what you’re doing, a little bit at a time, and you’ll soon find your goals are…Read more

I think that reflection is so very important in making learning matter to our students. Thanks for taking this on in your work as well! I know that @hprosser is interested in this as well!

I have used a couple of ways to reflect with my littles that might be of use to you. One was to share a key term or concept with parents and ask them to ask their child about it at home. Parents were provided with some prompts – what was challenging, what did you like…Read more

It’s funny how we, as teachers, often just assume we know how are students feel without ever asking them. Congrats on taking the leap!

As for the “they find it hard to remember”, I know some math courses are now being “spiraled” so key concepts keep coming back up throughout the year. For example, if there are 3 main…Read more

I’m so happy to hear that your students are benefiting from even small amounts of homework, as this has been my personal feeling for a long time, and I’m happy to see it’s paying off.
I totally understand the student mindset of not wanting to do “optional” problems, and we’re hoping to…Read more

I too am interested in student reflection with younger learners. Sometimes I also struggle with them feeling “ok with there being no right answer” in their reflection but also to re feel like their reflection is productive in the learning process and not just another task to be completed.

We are on the same page. I too think one of the best gifts we can give our students is the ability to be self-reflective and resilient.

Let’s all plug into this idea of reflecting. @hprosser, @lfarooq and @vwade and I are all interested in this integral part of education. I’d like to propose that the four us – and counting! – meet during our F2F to chat more about this and how we might make an action plan for this!

In the meantime, check out their blogs on this…Read more

I’ve been doing a school-wide audit of significant moments of doing, achieving, engaging and accomplishing and noticing that alongside these moments are very few opportunities for our students to reflect on their experiences.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your awesome tool. I used that quotation from John Dewey as the inspiration for my first blog post of the year, too 🙂

Even as a professional, I find that the most powerful learning for myself takes place when I’m thinking about and reflecting on how a lesson or activity went. (The Cohort21 process is for sure reflection and meta-cognition for grown-ups! :))

As a school we recently went through a learning skills inventory and came to very similar conclusions. We also found that self-confidence and resiliency in the face of failure were skills we needed to bolster/develop as well. I look forward to…Read more
