You helped me reflect on the flow of responsibility between teacher and students- it's my responsibility to provide tools to support their independence, with my goal being to empower them to be responsible for their independent learning. I think that's what I'm trying to say :) It's then my responsibility to monitor that independence to see when to pull back on a scaffold AND to use new tools to continue to help them be responsible for lifting the level of their learning. The classroom is a beautifully dynamic place!Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136971507031013274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760018118498685466.post-85221312747566648882016-07-17T17:09:21.522-04:002016-07-17T17:09:21.522-04:00Karen,

It's such an easy thing to skip, yet it helps us take big steps. Taking time to reflect helps us to monitor our progress, adjust goals, and make changes needed for continued learning. I also appreciated the idea of having students compare beginning and newer artifacts of learning to see the growth they have made.

What a perfect analogy! I was fortunate to try a micro progression I made (using a student sample of work) with another student I tutored today and it truly was like moving a magic curtain to reveal what was possible. In just a short time with a few samples, it made a big impact with this student! The samples in the progression made such a difference... just like magic!<br /><br />I love that you quote the "footprints" comment in the text. When we have authentic evidence of growth and learning over time, that is so powerful. Those footprints of progress over time provide motivation to keep learning too I think!Mrs.HWeberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06723974240853644960noreply@blogger.com
