Student Centered Classrooms...Shift the Ownership
Critical Attributes of a Student-Centered Classroom - Shift the Ownership!
Construction of learning (teacher clarity and gradual release)
Metacognition (thinking about their learning; visible learning, tracking their growth over time)
Educator/student partnership in learning (relationships; CKH)
Collaborative learning (GRR Productive Group Work/Authentic Learning; PBL)
Meaningful assessment in real-world contexts (solid assessment and grading practices)
(Student Centered Classroom Brief, Iowa Core, 2015)
**See below a great article on re-assessments done right as we continue to refine our SBG practices.
Levels of Engagement
The Growth Mindset
Great visual compliments of Fishtree Education.
Power of Positivity
Kindness...
"...kindness is one of the strongest characteristics a person can show because being mean is simply too easy" (Education Week Teacher, The School Kindness Project)
It goes with the same theme of Capturing Kids' Hearts and simply asking "Are you alright"?
