Daily Blog Challenge Day 50/365
One of my favorite times this year is when I have the opportunity to spend one on one time with my students. This summer I joined in many conversations on Twitter about Standards Based Grading and I am on a mission to include it into my classroom. In order to assess my students real abilities, I needed to find a way to incorporate one on one time with my students. It can be a challenge to schedule this time and it does not happen as often as I would like, but I am taking baby steps towards setting up the classroom that I want to have.
I have enjoyed one on one time because it allows me to encourage and support my students. I am able to encourage them when they are frustrated and overwhelmed and I am able to help them individually. Often what my students see as a total failure is just confusion in one area. One on one time has helped me strengthen my relationships with my students and it has helped me see a honest look at how much students are accomplishing music concepts.
One on one time has been a great addition to my classroom this year. Do you use one on one time? How do you ensure the rest of your class stays engaged? Thank you for reading.
