Student Productivity
Productivity is one idea that always concerns students and their ability to learn. Tracking a student’s progress in the classroom can help find and mitigate problematic areas in instructional procedures.
“When teachers use systematic progress monitoring to track their students’ progress in reading, mathematics, or spelling, they are better able to identify students in need of additional or different forms of instruction, they design stronger instructional programs, and their students achieve better. “(ASCD, 2005.)
How do we improve a student’s productivity? In most cases, it is easier said than done. However, in this brief article, we trust you can discover valuable insights to apply in your classroom.
3 Ways to Track Your Students Productivity:
SMART Goal Sheets
At the beginning of the week, have ready-to-go weekly SMART goal sheets. On these sheets, you can help them create measurable goals they can look back on at the end of the week and see how they did. (You should make an extra copy of all of theirs, as the most likely outcome is that they might lose theirs by the end of the week.) By reflecting on how they did and building that habit, you can have good data on how you can change your classroom, and they can make life skills.
Create Their Own Goals
This approach can be more challenging to measure and track, but it often yields the most significant results. When students set their own goals, they become fully accountable for what they want to achieve and how they plan to do it. This method can also be combined with previous strategies if students struggle with goal-setting. Moreover, having students create their own goals allows for a smoother transition to real-world scenarios.
Use Historical Reports
With AristotleK12, you can pull data insights on students’ work and productivity. With one click, you, as an Educator, can have a report on where your student has been going based on top websites, searches, and documents. You can export these detailed reports as PDFs to their parents, administrators, or themselves. The data is detailed so you can search where they have been and for how long. Having these records ready, you can better understand how to mitigate them from websites, how much time you should give them on specific tasks throughout the day, and so on.
