By Craig Gastauer and Laura Stott On the second day of the #Empower18 ASCD Pre-Conference session, “Students at the Center: Discovering Who They are by Learning the Habits of Mind” with Art Costa, Bena Kallick, and Allison Zmuda, five incredible students shared their experiences of developing their own long term personalized learning project.
The entire session was awed by the passionate young people eager to share their journey and their learning experiences. At the close of the day, the two of us were tasked by our presenters to talk about our own experiences as teacher practitioners trying to bring personalized learning experiences to their students and answer questions from the rest of the session participants. Within these moments, the question of where to begin was clearly on the forefront of teachers’ minds. We thought back to our first steps into personalized learning, and particularly about our many, MANY errors!
To This Day Project - Shane Koyczan. 6 ways to support kids who don’t take ownership of their learning. You know the exact problem I’m talking about: You’re patiently showing a student how to solve a problem or figure out a process, and the student responds by saying, “Can’t you just tell me the answer?”
Or you’re responding to a student’s question with questions of your own to try to prompt him or her to figure out a solution independently, and the child says, “Can’t you just tell me what to do?” When kids are unmotivated, the solution is natural: Give them more ownership. In more traditional schools, that might mean homework menus where students have a choice about which type of assignment to complete or other small ways in which kids get to make decisions about their learning.

T.E.A.M. Togetherness: Rethinking Student Goal Setting. Kate and I have been doing a lot of reflecting about how how we have done student goal setting up to this point in our Personalized Learning Journey.
It was great for a while...it helped us start...it helped our previous students gain some metacognition skills...BUT...it felt like we could do it better. It felt like something was missing. We wanted to push ourselves more, as well as our students. In all honesty, it sometimes felt like "busy work", rather than pushing our personalization further. Up to this point, we had always required WEEKLY goal setting with our students. Kids, by nature, have difficulty setting goals. In our reflection, Kate and I were looking for how we could do this differently. We pre-assess for everything we teach. So, this year, we will be tackling UNIT GOAL SETTING with our students. Our plan: Each unit we will still pre-assess and score the results. Each of the images above link to the Google Sheets that we made. We'll keep you posted!

Untitled. Can Six Year Olds Really Demonstrate Their Learning? - Getting Smart by Guest Author - edchat, EdTech, eportfolios, student blogging. By Kathy Cassidy This week we finished up another one of our project based learning (PBL) or inquiry-based units in my first grade classroom.
It had the grand title of rules, relationships and responsibilities. Why I Let Students Take the Lead in Learning Demonstration At the end of each of our units, I have the students create an artifact that can be posted on their blog to show what each of them has learned about our topic of study. I have never been a big supporter of “tests”, especially in first grade, where the students are usually much more comfortable showing learning in a verbal way rather than a written one. Even as young as six years old, students begin to realize that they are stronger in some areas than others. Some students do like to write. For these reasons, I always let the students chose the way they present their learning. Setting Clear Expectations & Guidelines Promotes Success. What is personalized learning?

Communication is changing fast (my 7-yr old daughter and I just exchanged Snaps while I am in Chicago and she is outside of Philadelphia in different time zones, with real-time interaction). Collaboration has evolved to a point of instantaneous feedback loops (my colleague and I are on a shared Google Slide presentation changing and adding to slides for this week’s presentation in real-time, able to modify and go back to old versions if need be.
We also shared this with someone who is going to be in the presentation to get their feedback on a teacher perspective.)

At Forest Lake Elementary School, in Columbia, South Carolina, the student population grows more diverse by the day. Income levels, ethnicities, family structures, first languages, interests, and abilities now vary so much, that a traditional teaching approach, with a uniform lesson targeted to the average-level student, just doesn't cut it.

Jose Popoff: 10 reasons why I believe students should blog. Teach Me: Student-Led Instruction Strategies. Teaching tools, tricks, and ideas are an essential component of a teacher’s ‘arsenal’ when it comes to having engaged students and strong teachable moments. The one tool that I rely heavily upon is a concept I termed as ‘Teach Me,’ though you may heard it called by other terms.
Simply, the idea behind Teach Me is when the teacher lets the student teach a concept to them. The student goes through the whole concept, or study, giving it to you in extreme detail. What it basically means is that your student becomes the teacher; teaching it to you. Do Personalized Learning Programs Offer Authentic Choices?
