What did you ask students to evaluate their learning? What was your rubric for evaluating them?
We asked students to respond to the following:
I do my work for the team on time.
I help my team
I listen to the ideas of my teammates
I share my ideas with my team
I trust my teammates with respect.
What responses did you receive from students via your evaluation?
Over all the majority of the students felt positive about working in groups together sharing ideas with each other as well as with the teacher/artist. They felt they were listened to by their peers as well as the teacher and artist.
Reflect: How do students' responses inform your understanding of student learning? How does it inform your teaching practice?
