“This (assignment/exercise, etc.) will help me in my life because” Students should be able to answer this clearly and directly. There shouldn’t be any guessing about it. So the point of why we reflect on these learning experiences should also be clear and understandable…or else the time spent processing could be an enormous waste. In this session we will examine the PLC process questions at the student level. Our hope will be that you will consider your next steps for building student self-efficacy in your classroom and hopefully, your grade level team. We will address the following questions in this interactive session: • What are the key components of a highly motivated and engaged classroom? • What products do teams create to improve student learning and self-efficacy? • How can teachers use these products effectively to help students own their learning?
