Learning Targets are a tool to use. Posting them out of compliance does NOTHING for learning. Create them, use them, let them drive the clarity of the learning that gets you 0.85 effect size or 2+ years' learning potential. Otherwise, don't bother.

Time for Reading and WRITING is never wasted time. “Silent Debate” Directions: 1. Post essential open ended questions around the room. 2. Students move about to answer, comment, or ask a question. 3. Whole group share at end. SHARE the idea with your teachers and school.
