Wheels of Fortune: How and Why Learning Goal Focus Wheels Should Be Part of Your Lessons
Learn what learning goal focus wheels are, how they increase student achievement and classroom climate, and specific examples to implement them in your instructional design!
What comprehensive evidence do teachers utilize to determine student achievement?
How do we, as educators, evaluate our students' growth towards learning outcomes?
When, along with how often and timely, do teachers determine our students' proficiency and what data do we analyze to ensure the learning is sustainable?
How many different forms of formative assessments do teachers use to determine achievement?
Wouldn't it be spectacular if one student-centered resource could provide all of the assessment information teachers need, and beyond that, build a climate of motivated learners?
Better yet,
students know what they are learning,
why they are learning it,
what relationship it has with the standards,
and
can articulate what skills they use when they are stuck!
Learning Goal Focus Wheels can do this
and more.
I promise you!
