Video Reflection Tools & Best Practices

Video reflections are an excellent way to engage students in communicating their thinking and understanding. Consider the following when implementing video reflections in the classroom:

Create an example video reflection to model the expectations and objectives of the video reflection
Provide students with sentence starters or word banks to refer to when creating their reflections
Structure the video reflection with reasonable time limits and other video response settings (i.e., screen share & webcam or video backgrounds)
Purposefully plan time for students to learn how to navigate and utilize the video recording tool

Data Tracking & Goal Setting Templates

Data folders do not have to be digital; provide students with charts or graphs they can fill in manually to track their scores and progress toward goals. This can be a simple and effective way for students to see their growth visually. Consider the following when implementing classroom data folders:

Ensure that data folders are easily accessible to students during class time so they can regularly update their progress.
Teach students how to set SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) goals (both collectively and independently) and track their progress toward these goals within their data folders.
Schedule regular one-on-one conferences with students to review their data folders together, discuss progress, and set action plans for improvement.
Keep parents informed about the purpose and use of data folders, and encourage them to review their child's progress periodically.
Establish and model routines for updating data folders, whether it's weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly, to ensure that students are consistently monitoring their progress.
Recognize and celebrate students' achievements and milestones tracked in their data folders to reinforce positive behaviors and outcomes.

Digital Portfolios

A Digital Portfolio represents artifacts of learning that demonstrates both qualitative and quantitative mastery of standards. Consider the following when implementing digital portfolios in the classroom:

Create a portfolio that extends across multiple years so that students can view their growth from one year to the next.
Portfolios are most effective when they are setup early and revisited throughout the year.
Encourage students to choose examples of their work that display their creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration.
Tie the student's work in their portfolio to standards as well as the Portrait of a Graduate
