Lately I have felt a lot of pressure to get this dissertation focused. I am wrestling with a few options and throw in the end of the school year- out of town guest preparation- and job searching and it my time gets squeezed. So I got up 2 hours before the start of the day and wrote a few things.
Could this dissertation be about awareness? Is this concept missing in some schools?
Awareness at the student level- can they tell you what it means to be proficient? Can they tell you where they are personally? Can they tell you about thier strengths? Can they tell you about action steps that will help them?
Glasser writes about how this awareness motivates students to improve.
Marzano writes about how student progress monitoring is part of effective teaching.
Stiggins ties student performance recording to self efficacy.
Senge writes about Personal Mastery.
Covey writes about Personal Victory.
All begins with awareness.
So are students who are in Baldrige or Leader in Me schools more aware than students in other schools?
