Transcript
It's really important to me that the students are clear of the learning goals at each subject area in the class. We brainstorm together what the learning goals will be at each subject and the students actually come and write the learning goals with me. This board becomes a reference point for them, if they ever are wondering what were working on they can easily come to this board and see what were working on.
