There are a few things that I truly believe help student growth. Some of those things include making sure each student knows how they are doing, having students create personal goals, and having students track their success. I have helped implement Student Data Binders in grades K-5. In the classes where they are truly used (and not just dust collectors) they have been a valuable resource. First, it important to teach kids to make personal goals. Think about successes you have had in your life?
