Goals
Actions
Monitor
Evaluate and Extend Learning
When I looked at the NETS*S and thinking about how I can use the GAME process to help my students become proficient with the standards, I thought that maybe taking one of the six sections at a time. Instead of students reading over all six standards and then choosing which one they would like to do a plan with, I thought it would be better focused for my students to all work on the same standard this way they can compare and work together on their plans. With teaching special education I have learn that a more direct expectations and focused learning gets better results.
So I would start with working with my students on making goals in the creativity and innovation section. I think this would be a good starting place because of the digital storytelling lesson. Learning how to make digital stories will help them think about what they want to learn and how these goals fit into the standards. Some of my students will need direct teacher assistance with making goals and planning out their actions.
If we start on the first standard we would have enough time during the school year to explore each standard and set focus goals.

Danika,
ReplyDeleteDo you have your students for more than one year? If so, this would really make your idea of hitting the NET-S one at a time a greta idea. That way you wouldn't be trying to cram them all in by the end of the year.
Good luck on your goals. I have an idea that you will be very successful in reaching them.
I like how you are going to spread each strand out over the school year. Do you think that some students might not want to explore each concept though? Maybe you could present two concepts at a time and let the students choose which concept they want to set goals towards. This may help you get through all of the concepts in one school year.

ReplyDeleteI agree with your decision of focusing on one standard at a time. That gives all of your students a common goal and together they can work to achieve the goal. Also, like Nancy said, if you have your students for more than one year, you don't have to cram all of the standards in by the end of one year, but can spread them out more and cover them more.
