"Let Me Help!": Teaming with Students to Achieve and Succeed Together

Do your students know what your academic expectations are? Have you ever asked for their help? Join us in this interactive session exploring the power of truly teaming up with individual students to gain insight and assistance at any level of tiered support in an effort to exceed expectations and achieve significant gains. We will explore strong research indicating student input and expectations as one of the most significant and overlooked influences to improving student achievement. Through personal reflection and a guided exploration of various strategies and activities, participants in this session will identify procedures and possible entry points where students can literally "help" in the monitoring, learning, and progress that lead to improved confidence and learning ability. Each participant will leave with useful and realistic ideas they can implement in their own setting, regardless of their circumstances to help students exceed their own expectations.

  • After being introduced to insightful research that powerfully shows why involving students and seeking their input and participation is so vital for student achievement, participants will reflect on their own practices and identify potential benefits and possible ways to include students more fully in meeting or exceeding benchmarks and expectations.
  • After seeing various examples of self-assessment strategies and self-monitoring activities, participants will be able to identify underutilized or untapped entry points for student inclusion in the learning process and will clearly see how little changes in their monitoring, assessment, and data practices can result in big changes in student outcomes in any setting.
  • Participants will understand the tremendous importance of establishing environments, systems, and procedures that offer appropriate levels of support and autonomy in order for students to gain the understanding, skills, and confidence necessary to exceed their own expectations.
