IN THE SPOTLIGHT
"The task of keeping track of student progress by individual objectives within each unit can seem unmanageable. Yes, it is a little more wok than more typical approaches, but the rewards of increased student motivation and achievement make the effort worthwhile." - Spence Rogers
So, why not let the students track their own progress to grow student motivation and achievement?

Classroom Setup - Room Arrangement
"The physical environment is at the foundation of building positive relationships in the classroom. A positive physical environment is a strong nonverbal statement that says 'I care about you as a learner,' and, 'Learning is the most important thing here." - Spence Rogers
SLOs -- If you are NOT on the SLO train, then you NEED to get on BOARD and FAST!
All SLOs, including student tests, answer documents, and Eduphoria reports are due October 20, 2017. Please mark this date on your calendar.
All SLO tests must be submitted for approval before administering.
The TxCee website is open to type in your SLOs. If you need help with this, please see either your department head or myself. When you save your SLO, make sure that you see a blue success box on the top right. If this box is not seen, do NOT close the window because it did not save and hit the save button again.
All student score must be entered in each SLO before you change them to "submit for approval."
If you have any questions, please ask!! Let's get this SLO Mountain Conquered. :)
