Use Student Learning Goals to Sustain Your Passion

1/17/2016

I want to share my most recent teacher workshop with you. 5 minutes, short and sweet! 
In Washington State we call it TPEP, and in Oregon it's the OR Framework..but either way,  we are now required to prove student growth. For many teachers this is very overwhelming and confusing. But I don't think it has to be. 
Picture
We can use this mandate to sustain our passion for teaching. It's an opportunity to celebrate the amazing things we already do in our classrooms, and a chance to shine a spotlight on the huge benefits kids get from being around us. Doing so, is how we avoid burnout and sustain ourselves.

For it to work, however, we need to tweek TPEP and make it for us, rather than just an annoying hoop to jump through. 

Take a look at my short video, and I'll show you how it works. And then please let me know if it helps shift your perspective.

​Good luck! -Ryan

Yes! Invite students to participate in the setting of their own individual goals, based upon their unique "present level of performance." The growth they see in themselves is empowering and confidence building. I believe in basing grades much more on student growth than on a one-size-fits-all definition.
