Personalized Learning Goals and SLO’s Impact State Report Card.

Shifts in Instruction • Reading in the Content Area/Reading Strategies • Formative Assessment Tools- providing feedback to students WHILE they are learning, not AFTER • W, P, W Lesson Plan Framework that promotes small group/strategy group • Using the Learning Continuum to drive instruction and facilitate small groups/strategy groups to meet individual student need • Learner Targets/Closure Activities – Neuro-Courtesy for learners If You Always Do What You Always Did, You Will Always Get What You Always Got

Setting Goals Specificity • Specific goals are typically stronger than “Do your best” goals Feedback • Better results with MORE feedback from teacher to student- DAILY!!!!!

Discussion Topics • How do teachers currently conference with students and parents about their MAP Goals? How can we improve this process? • Consider all elements of SMART Goals when goal setting • What resources and tools do we currently have access to that are mechanisms to help students achieve their goals? • What additional mechanisms might we tap into a deeper level? • What will be done differently to meet the personalized MAP goal? • By the student • By the teacher • How will your house set goals with students? • Ideas to award students
