“Students can teach themselves and each other if

they are motivated by curiosity and peer interest”

-S.Mitra, 2010

These interactions/experiences led me to

self reflect . . .

• What am I doing in my classroom to MOTIVATE my students?

• Why does it become difficult to put our “best practices” into words? Is it enough to just “do” and not actively and consistently re-assess why?

Tips for Plus/Delta +/∆

• Purpose: This evaluation quality tool provides a method for continuous improvement. The +/∆ evaluation can help students attain higher levels of achievement.

•  

Pluses +

 • Identify one thing that is working • The student wants to maintain and strengthen this area

 

Deltas ∆ (opportunities for improvement)

• Opportunities for improvement. These are areas that can be improved/changed so that the student may be more effective/efficient.

• Deltas should be action oriented and begin with a verb• Deltas should be specific• Deltas should be within the realm of possibility• Deltas should be reviewed and acted upon as soon as possible
