Helping Students Better Understand What Works Best for Their Learning

To more effectively meet the learning needs of my students, I've begun to provide more options for understanding concepts and building skills, but I need to help my students determine which options are best fits for them and build a classroom culture where students feel comfortable and supported as they make various educational decisions.  This past week I started having my students set weekly goals at the beginning of the week and then providing an opportunity for them to analyze what worked and didn't work for their learning at the end of the week.  My hope is that this makes them feel more in control of their learning and helps them make effective choices among the options and supports that I provide as well as options they can seek out on their own.

CAST provides some great resources for eliminating learning barriers in my instruction.
