Learning Targets

 

Learning Targets are important for so many reasons!   They're a quick and simple way for us to keep track of our daily goals, and pin-point key skills we learn and need to know.   In our classroom these targets are currently changing daily, however, once we begin longer units of study some may remain for a couple of days. 

Pairing the Learning Targets with a self-assessment at the end of each day via our "How Am I Doing" worksheet is proving to be a beneficial way for the kids to monitor their own learning.  Students are encouraged to be honest and they're reminded that these self assessments are for their benefit (not a grade).  I model how to think through this process :)
