I love for students to chart their academic growth in my room. We already chart the number of words they read correctly, so today we started setting goals. It was a huge success today! We started what I like to call "Feedback Friday". My students met with me individually and we discussed areas THEY thought they needed to work on. I was a little hesitant to let them decide for themselves, but I was happily surprised. They came up with really good goals they wanted to work towards.
They chose one area they wanted to get better in and I wrote their goal on their goal sheet. I taped the goal sheet to their nametag on their desk for them to look at all week.
In their "goal setting notebook", they will record daily how they worked towards their goal. On Friday of the following week, they will meet with me again to discuss if they met their goal. If they did, they get one hole punch in their "punch card". We will then set a new goal together!
My students were so pumped with this activity! They took ownership in their learning, which was my ultimate goal! =)
