Posting learning targets

Having a fun way to display learning objectives in the classroom makes them more attractive for students and more likely they will interact with them daily.

It is important to explicitly tell the students WHAT they will be learning, HOW they will be successful in mastering that skill and WHY it is an important skill to learn. This is where learning targets and success criteria come in to play.

When I looked at my last post and realized it was Christmas themed, I realized I was long overdo for a blog post. This new year has brought a lot of changes for my district, and one of those changes was the requirement to have all objectives posted.

We have daily classroom meetings in room 10! I love this. It brings us together and lets the students know they are a part of a team! I…

I had the opportunity to visit another school yesterday to be a part of their site review team. It was an incredible experience and something I wish teachers had the opportunity to do more. Seeing wonderful teachers in action is the BEST professional development, in my opinion! One thing that I noticed in classrooms was a focus on Learning Targets. These were written on the front board and teachers & students referred to them throughout the day. One teacher had a great gesture to go along…
