2. Student Voice…

Engage students in discussions - Use

Learning Buddies/Talking Partners/Elbow partners!

Buddy. They discuss their learning and ideas

with their buddy throughout the day in all

curriculum areas.

There are co-constructed guidelines.

Reflection at the end of a lesson…

I do about it?”

“I TIME”…

Kath Murdoch

Woohoo…One session a week

where I get to inquire about something I

want to know!

3. Co-construct…Use Models first!

Ask questions of the content.

Students can then create the Success Criteria.

Students highlight where they are at throughout the process.

A co-constructed target rubric for impromptu speeches.Targets were VERY familiar to students…

Students viewed examples of excellent speeches (Martin Luther King, Steve Jobs etc) and questioned what made great speech. They then co-constructed their success criteria on a target rubric. They self assessed and peer assessed by highlighting the rubric following their speech to the class.

Target Rubrics…

Students co-construct the target levels…
