This highly engaging, hands-on workshop will provide educators with the methodology to co-construct criteria with students, giving them a voice and deep understanding of how to meet the learning intentions. As a result, students will be able to confidently answer: Where am I going?, How am I doing?, and Where to next? (Hattie, 2011). In addition, students will be empowered to develop personalized learning goals and track their own progress toward their learning goals.

Coaching & Implementation Support

For this reason, coaching is available to support educators as they work to implement this powerful practice into their classrooms.
