As teachers, we are constantly making decisions as we select math tasks, literacy tasks, books, and mentor texts to use in our math and literacy instruction. We want to get the most out of our instructional time and empower students to engage in their own learning. During this session we will examine the three components of the workshop model and how it can support student assessment and goal setting. We will then unpack the steps necessary to make intentional decisions in terms of task selection, differentiation and student goal setting with in the workshop. Through a literacy and mathematical lens, we will explore strategies for differentiating the content, process, and product based on student goals as well as strategies to select and match tasks to students. This workshop will build on the groundwork laid in the workshop Goal Setting in Literacy & Math (October 24, 2018), but attendance at the first workshop is NOT required for participation in this event. After the workshop, participants will receive a biweekly blog post with additional information, classroom examples, and resources. Participants will be encouraged to respond to presenters with questions and ideas as they work to differentiate and match tasks to students.
