2024 ROE8 Summer Institute

Using standards to drive a student-led classroom may seem like an oxymoron. However, there are many research-based instructional practices that fit a standards-driven curriculum or program and are well-suited for all learners in becoming independent. When teachers help students understand and apply the qualities of good learners, students begin to take responsibility for their learning, increasing their drive, motivation and achievement. This fully interactive workshop will use John Hattie’s research on effective influences on achievement as the anchor for modeling fun, yet rigorous strategies that are student-led and driven by appropriate grade level standards.
