Posting learning targets

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…

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. My grade level already had them posted, so we felt like we could check this off our list. They worked great and I loved that they took up very little space. This smaller set is editable, so you do have the option of typing your objectives. I used…

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.

Ahh what a day! I don't think there is any feeling comparable to walking into a classroom that is absolutely empty, and in a few magical weeks, transforming into a space to inspire young minds! It may be one of my favorite parts of the job. Today, I created a goals bulletin board. I half got this idea off Pinterest/ half tweaked it to fit my class' needs. 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…

This is a great idea for those who have to display your standards for each lesson! daily objectives dry erase boards.

Our school implemented a "push" to post and articulate our learning goals for each lesson this year. Teaching all subjects, can make planning a very overwhelming task. I posted my agenda daily on the white board with at least one standard next to each item on our agenda. I found it easier writing them out then digging through the printed ones that I had made up. I wish I took a picture of my daily agenda. Here are a few boards that I like from Pinterest I found this beneficial for me and my…

Posting learning targets is a critical way to keep students accountable and aware of what they are learning. Just print, laminate and hang! Each day I use a vis a vis marker to write on the posters and I use a wet paper towel to wipe off the learning target at the end of the day. You can't get much easier than that!

Learning targets are an efficient visual to help your students meet their daily learning targets, learning intentions or objectives in any subject area. They can be displayed as a sign on a bulletin board or anywhere else in your classroom. They are also easy to shrink and print for individual student use.

I'm a little late linking up with Blog Hoppin for their Classroom Digs, but I have a good excuse :) Tomorrow is Open House and I've been getting things ready like crazy. I'm going to be a day late on all of these... but that's okay :) I've waited so long to show off my classroom. As you probably already know, I moved grades and subjects this year. So, I started off with a clean slate.... literally. It has taken hours upon hours to get my room the way I want it. I still have a few things to…
