Davis School District R&R Conference 2024

Do some of your students struggle to meet a Standard because they lack the skills (or the interest) the unit requires? I've watched English Language Learners (and students who just don't like English class, for that matter) become suddenly excited to take on an assessment once it was freed from all the created expectations and requirements that weighed it down. Personalized learning lets students show mastery with more investment and confidence than standardized assessments. Objective-based lessons and units, especially when they are personalized by student choices, can allow even our struggling students to succeed. Join us to practice designing assessments that focus on your standards yet invite students to take ownership of their learning. Your students will enjoy your class more than ever, and you may feel some new freedom as well.
