Giving more voice, choice and personalization
How did this impact motivation and learning?
Surveyed students who would be coming into 6th grade
"I was looking for less talking and more hands on"
"I was looking to be able to work at my own pace"
"I was one of the smartest in my class and would get quickly bored"
"I hated blah, blah days. Spacing out and not listening"
How does this work when you have a program to implement?
Homework
Offers self selected options as well as an assignment for students who don't want to have to choose
Reflection on Work Habits - self reflect using a rubric and a written question section
Perhaps useful before student led conferences
How do you motivate students to work and keep pace when it's self directed?
These seem like self directed students
"I want to work with a partner so I had to keep moving"
"I don't need motivation because I want to do the work I'm choosing"
