Scott Johns is a former high school CTE teacher, and now works for Education Elements, former educators and administrators who are passionate about education.
What education elements does.
Personalized learning - what is it?
Core Four
Targeted Instruction - break down whole group instruction into smaller groups of students. Dynamic and purposeful groups of students.
After 7–8 students in a group, results taper off.
Challenges of targeted instruction.
Presence of small groups does not necessarily equal targeted instruction.
Data Driven Decisions - Data should inform instruction in the classroom.
Allow teachers AND students to reflect on and work with the data.
The problem with the question, “Why did you give me this grade?”
Tight feedback loops.
Standards-based grading. Can help with the process, but not the only way to do it.
