Do you know what a square foot is? Can you visualize it? Well, if it's challenging for you, imagine your child! It's simple to cut up some cardboard and have them measure spaces in your house. It's much more memorable that way 馃
This is why it is important to have individual graphs for each student, but also graphs for the entire class 馃槑
Doesn't it make sense? Most students don't know what they are expected to have learned by the end of the year. Simple Solution: TELL THEM!
It's important to identify if the students are being motivated to LOVE learning (and retain that knowledge) or to "get the right answers on chapter tests." BIG difference.

Not what is the "average." Not how did you perform against your other classmates. This is about doing your personal best and what is more motivating than that?!
What a dream 馃槏 Could you imagine a high school where the students came to school with the same enthusiasm that Kindergartners did? Well, let's set that as our goal. 馃憣 馃挴
How does it save time? Well, how much would you need to spend reviewing material if you're constantly using the information? 馃憖 馃摉
Isn't this interesting? In a study done, more children were motivated by non-graded quizzes that informed them of their learning rather than graded quizzes! 馃

What a gift to students...Show them the roadmap for what they will be learning. It gives your students a power they don't normally have. A simple yet practical way to manage their own learning!

Can we get to perfect? Maybe not. But how do we move forward if we don't define what perfect is?
