  2. Solid relationships are what make an ordinary student become an extraordinary student. Relationships

  3. Team Work • Book Clubs jobs are done individually but whole group discussions lead to better comprehension. • Students are seated in heterogeneous groups. • Group projects are assigned and teammates assess leadership and responsibility by rubric. • Students can shine in their area of strength under Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences. • Teacher-student reflection conferences • Teacher-group conferences

  4. Communication • Planners – Daily/Weekly assignments and Homework • Nightly signatures • Email with parents for communication • Email with students over homework and projects jbanta@washoeschools.net jwu@washoeschools.net

  5. Relevance “Our job is not to teach students everything that they need to know. It is to teach them how to figure out everything they need to know.”

  6. A Student Choice Classroom • What books they read • Leveled Learning Activities • Research Topics • Choose grade based on rubric • Social Studies and Science are project and lab based (PBL) • Students choose method of presentation

  7. Rigor “Students will find the initiative and self direction they need to accomplish classroom tasks. Which is a necessity for success in life.”

  8. Model of Four Gradual release to student independence • Model with origami • Every lesson taught this way • Focus of year follows same pattern • Used to check for understanding • Homework is not assigned until level 4 is achieved

  9. Standards Based Grading 92.5 85 • Grade book is organized by STANDARDS rather than assignments to follow growth through out the year • Giving grades of 1-5 removes negative association of traditional grades • Every assignment shows the standard that will be evaluated • Gives a positive comment to all students • Fist to 5 immediate self assessment • Transfers to letter grade for report card
