Lots of great ideas from the Goal-Setting presentation with Don and Laura.
My take-away:

• Encourage quick, "in the moment" self-reflections of performance and projects that are not assessed.  Could be written or audio/video/image reflections.  
• Couple that with forma self-reflection document for PLP conferencing, assessed for written or oral expressive proficiency.

They talked about linking and labeling blogs and self-reflections to goals, but was kind of lost on me logistically, but it makes sense to do.

Kids required to set one academic goal and one personal goal ----> both end up incorporating transferrable skills (by default).

Examples of personal goals:  become ambidextrous, be a better beat boxer

Goals

I am looking forward to helping students create wellness/social/emotional goals and meeting with them regularly (i.e., during advisory meetings) to reflect on their progress towards reaching their goals.

Setting Meaningful Goals- Linking goal setting to Transferrable Skills

Reflection: Informal vs. Formal

Formal vs. informal reflection-  What is the goal of reflection?  To reflect informally can lead to more periodic formal reflections.

Goal Setting

We're Famous!

Today we came full circle and tied the beginning to the end. I love the goal setting - reflection - revision process and am incredibly eager to continue to work on our PLP project.

Creating Space for Personalized Learning

Today I attended a choice session on creating space for personalize learning.

Here are some questions that were posed and links to resources shared during this session:

What does it mean to have a learner centered environment?

How is space used?

What choices do students have about how/where they learn?
