Hi Mr. Brown,  I had the pleasure of attending the PLC conference in San Antonio earlier this month. I really enjoyed your session on Student Data Notebooks. I brought the ideas back to my classroom and had kids work on graphing some math data prior to conferences to share with their parents. It was great for the kids to take ownership of their data and then show it to their families, and it helped us create goals for the kids based on their data.

Theories About Goal Setting Students often evaluate their progress in learning, and the belief that one is learning can enhance motivation. Here are key ideas about goal setting and motivation: 

Key components of setting goals are choosing which to pursue and committing to pursuing them (Locke, Latham, Smith, & Wood, 1990).



As people work on tasks, they compare their performances with their goals (Bandura, 1986).



Performances offer the best source of information. Success generally raises selfefficacy, and failure can lower it (Bandura, 1997).



Self-efficacy and motivation are strengthened when people believe that they are making progress toward their goals (Bandura, 1986).



During self-reflection, learners determine whether their current approach is effective (Zimmerman, 2000).



Compared with general goals, specific goal promote higher self-efficacy and mathematical achievement (Schunk, 1995).



Researchers learned that when children received feedback on how well they used a reading comprehension strategy, their understanding, self-efficacy, and achievement improved. The study was conducted among children who experienced difficulty in reading (Schunk & Rice, 1989).



Teachers should shift students to focus on outcome goals that are self-referenced—to compare how well students do with how they did. This is preferential to a socially referenced focus, such comparing the performances of students with those of their classmates (Zimmerman & Kitsantas, 2005).



Because children have short time frames of reference, immediate goals are motivating, whereas long-term goals are not (Schunk, 2009).



Students who graduate from high school with a mindset that includes the importance of setting goals and assessing progress will be well prepared to meet future educational and life challenges (Schunk, 2009).

Ms. Eby’s Room Leader in Me We will be starting the “Leader in Me” process in my district next year. Part of this is to have children record personal and academic goals and chart their progress toward these goals in data notebooks. These are a few pages I have created for our kindergarten notebooks.

Dear Parent or Guardian, Your child is on a team that believes learning is continuous and that students need to see themselves as capable and confident in their own learning. It is important for our students to see how they are progressing with the learning goals of each class. We will be implementing the use of “student data notebooks” in our classes this year. Our students will keep these notebooks and they will be available to you to see at any time. The notebooks are not for a grade, but a tool for students to track and study their progress throughout the year. We want our students to have a clear picture of the desired learning outcomes and reflect on their progress toward mastery. Students will be setting goals and focusing on the necessary actions that lead to success. Students will be able to tell you exactly where they are in accomplishing the learning goals in each class at any time. They will specifically be sharing their progress with you during our parent conference days. We are excited about our students discovering and owning their learning. Naturally, you are welcome to contact us about your child’s progress at any time, but we anticipate and will encourage your child to talk to you about their progress in class. We are looking forward to an exciting and adventurous year of learning!

Unit: Ecosystems

Over the next three weeks, we’ll be studying the ecosystems of the world. Specifically, we’ll be exploring how species live and interact with each other, the factors that explain how ecosystems change over time, and how species adapt to their environments.

Essential Questions: 

How do plants survive and reproduce?



What are photosynthesis and cellular respiration?





How do the non-living and living things in an ecosystem interact?



How do biotic/abiotic factors influence habitats?



Learning Target

How does energy flow through an ecosystem?

Your Proof:

(1). I can explain how flowering plants survive and reproduce. This means I can correctly label the petals, sepals, stamens, anthers, and pistils on an illustration of a flower and detail the role that they play in the survival and reproduction of flowers. This also means that I can explain how plants use dormancy and tropism to help them to survive and thrive. Rate Your Level of Understanding:
