One of my goals for students this year in my math classes is for them to become
more aware of their own learning. Recently, I added an element to our classroom that will hopefully help foster that reflection. On days where we are learning brand-new content, I ask that before students leave my room, they reflect on their understanding of our learning target for the day. On sticky notes, the students have to complete one of three sentences: Today I learned... or Today a question I had was... or Today my learning stopped because... You can see the stoplights that I have posted on the wall in the picture. Their exit ticket out the door is placing their sticky note on the appropriate stoplight (with names on the back to make sure that everyone feels comfortable being honest.) We have talked about this serving two purposes: 1. It requires them to look back at the learning target and assess their own learning and understanding. 2. It allows me to see who needs more time and/or more instruction from me to insure they grasp the concept. It is my hope that through this process during the year, students will take ownership of their learning and become focused on putting forth their best effort everyday.
