Setting Objectives and Providing Feedback HELP!
I would love to hear from expert teachers that use individual goal setting in their classrooms. I really want to use this Marzano strategy more in my classroom, but have struggled in the past with finding the time to meet individually with my students. I have set classroom objectives, but would really like to have my students set individual learning goals that they can personally work on throughout the year, put forth effort, receive constructive, appropriate feedback from me, and then see that they have accomplished their goal, and set a new one. Do you have students set personal learning goals for every subject? How do you keep track of the goals of 30+ students? And, how do you find the time to meet with them often to review and give feedback on their goals?

I feel your pain, it is hard to find time to meet individually with each student on setting goals. I have students set goals, but I'm unable to meet with them on a regular basis, this is why I have them collaborate in small student groups--3 maybe 4 students. They set goals individually and as a group, then they encourage each other and give each other feedback. The students rate themselves and each other. This takes a lot of time to setup, because you want to have all students to take it seriously. I then try to meet with them once a term. Time is always the issue. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteGood idea, what age group do you teach?
