Empower students to own their learning The world today needs
students prepared to set goals, to fail, to get up and try a new
strategy, to fail again, and to persist until their goals are
realized. Therefore, we must ask, "Are all students in our
classrooms equipped with the skills and confidence to take
ownership of their learning? If not, what can we do to change
that?" Building on the work of John Hattie, Larry Ainsworth, and
other leaders in the field, Partnering With Students: Building
Ownership of Learning offers a powerful framework to accelerate
student motivation and learning. This resource is designed to
empower teachers and leaders with strategies to develop learners
who have the confidence and tools to engage in any challenge. By
flipping the focus to student ownership of learning, the authors
provide clear and simple ways to: Develop collaborative
relationships Jointly establish clear expectations for learning and
criteria for success Intentionally build learner strategies that
last a lifetime Use formative assessment results to monitor
progress Harness the power of reciprocal feedback to improve
teaching and learning Empower and motivate students set meaningful
goals and prove learning When students are invited to partner and
share in the responsibility of learning, they become our greatest
allies, and we will learn as much from them as they will learn from
us. "O'Connell and Vandas provide a wealth of information to
educators, proving that it is not only important to be
student-focused, but essential if students are to reach their
fullest potential. In an era where we seemingly complicate things
because we can, it is refreshing to see a book like this that is
clearly written, driven by commonsense, evidenced by good practice,
and supported with tools and clear examples." - Russell J. Quaglia,
President/Founder Quaglia Institute for Student Aspirations "An
extremely rich resource for educators who genuinely want to empower
students to be successful in college AND careers. The
research-supported strategies put forth press educators to engage
in deep reflection and analysis of their personal beliefs and
practices, while equipping them with practical techniques to engage
students in rigorous, relevant ways in the classroom." - Kim S.
