Learning Targets for Review Days

Have you found yourself wondering how to write a Learning Target for a unit or test review day?  Here are some ideas:

I can identify which learning targets from this unit I have mastered and which ones I still need to practice.  I can create a plan to for working on the targets I haven't mastered yet.

I can identify which skills I can apply independently, and which ones I still need to work on. I can create a plan for how I will practice and/or learn the skills I can't apply independently yet.

I can develop and refine my skills in ________________________.
Student would select specific skill(s) from the unit.

I can apply the skill of ________________________ to novel or real-world situations.


Possible Success Criteria:
Identify the specific material I need to master.
Identify who can help me with my plan for learning what I want to work on.
Identify the resources I will need.
Identify a timeline.



Students will make the best use of their time if they focus on skills they haven't mastered, rather than reviewing every skill or concept taught in a unit.  Setting up this type of review should also allow students to predict fairly accurately how they will perform on an assessment.

If you have students who have already mastered all of the skills or concepts, give them the job of coaching other students during the review.
