A1 Give Ss the opportunity to make choices about how they interact with material. Open-ended assessments and tasks.

A1: encourage them to take risks and make mistakes. Model my own learning too.

A1 As an ITS, my Ss are Ts. I ask Qs, give them resources, help them think creatively, ask more Qs, & be a guide on the side.

Feb 9 @ 9:15 PM EST
Q2. Why is "empowered learner" an important standard?
#pisdedchat
stephirsch
Feb 9 @ 9:16 PM EST
A2 By empowering Ss, you are asking them to become “project managers”, a very relevant skill in the world these days.
#pisdedchat
stephirsch
Feb 9 @ 9:17 PM EST
A2 Empowered Ss are more self aware and better equipped to investigate the world around them.

A2 I love how an empowered learner is making meaning. That's music to my UbD ears.
cheryllazarus
Feb 9 @ 9:18 PM EST
A2: This standard puts the student in the "driver's seat." They control the direction of the experience.

Love the idea of controlling direction. Maybe the standards tell us where to end up, but how we get there is open
#pisdedchat

Feb 9 @ 9:25 PM EST
A3 Assessments that require explanation and justification rather than just an answer. Lots of self assessment and reflection too

A3 this can take several forms. Giving students choice to find the right tool, trusting them to be good dig cit plays a role.

Trust is a HUGE component of empowerment!!

A3 I think sharing their knowledge w/ others empowers everyone. If they can teach it, they own it; peers learn too. Win-win.

#pisdedchat

#pisdedchat

Feb 9 @ 9:39 PM EST
A4: I think any lesson can give them this opportunity. Take away the directions & the rules. Allow them to collaborate & think.

A5 The Ss Play a role in this too. It is not just Ts constructing. Give them ownership.
cheryllazarus
Feb 9 @ 9:46 PM EST
A5: It means that student are active rather than passive learners. Keeps the standard & learning in the students' hands.
