Don't be jelly! Look at what we are learning this morning with @solutiontree @freeseframe912 Denton ISD #AfL2021

“A vision without goals is a vague promise.” Cassie Erkens #AfL2021

The Trifecta of Power for Students: Learning Targets & Success Criteria have always gone hand-in-hand. How are we routinely helping students initiate their own goals to impact their understanding and growth? #AFL2021

Goals come in many shapes and sizes. But, if you have too many goals, you actually have no goals at all. We must prioritize and find what goals are worth tracking and following up on to move students forward! #AfL2021 Denton ISD

What feedback do we need and give to feed FORWARD? #afl2021 Denton ISD

Team Braswell working together on brainstorming. #bengalpride #BraswellHS #AfL2021 #dentonisd

Have we always thought about student goal setting as STUDENT-INVOLVED DATA? What a refreshing (and mind-blowing) perspective!! Denton ISD #AfL2021

A culture of feedback requires clear learning intentions, criteria for success, clear interpretation of proficiency, the welcoming of mistakes, and norms of collaboration. #AfL2021 Denton ISD @freeseframe912 Culture comes first!

Goal-setting conferences sound like: “What is an appropriate goal?” and “Why do we think this is an appropriate goal for you?” Check-in's sound like: “What do you notice about your work from the beginning till now?” and “How do you feel like you grew?” Denton ISD #Afl2021

Communication that builds hope and efficiency for continuous learning. YES! Denton ISD #AFL2021

We can't stop thinking about how important goal setting and co-creating criteria are in the post-pandemic environment. Students re-gain resilience via these efficacy-building practices. @freeseframe912 @cerkens Denton ISD #AfL2021

What matters is how to communicate learning to Ss and how they see hope and possibility to keep learning. Balance honesty w/the manner of hope. @freeseframe912 is speaking my love language today! ❤ Punishing irresponsibility does not teach responsibility. #AFL2021

Goal setting in #AfL2021 this afternoon... I have copious notes to take back to the DHS CLT and am excited about the impact this practice can have not just academically but also social-emotionally for our students. Denton ISD Denton High School

❤️❤️❤️ #AFL2021

Why are all of these practices so important? Student achievement matters... Denton ISD #AfL2021

THIS! I need to always remember! Borman PYP #AFL2021 Denton ISD

It's not about data binders, buying tracking programs, or measuring everything we do... it's about how we INTERACT with students and how they are able to INTERACT with their assessment results that matter. Denton ISD #AfL2021

through my content I am teaching my students how to learn #AFL2021 #DentonISDteach

Thank you to all the amazing Denton ISD educators that attended the 2021 Mary Helen Martin AfL Conference.
