Maybe I am just tired…and it could be that I somehow completely missed that there was a blog post last week so I am a bit frustrated. All of which is my own fault.
I do not see the game plan process, at least in the exact format that it has been modeled working for my classroom. I definitely like the reflective practices, and reaching out to classmates is definitely useful. Personally, the game plan process has been more of a “going through the motions” thing vs. an actual ah-ha moment. My gut feeling is that my students will have some of the same feelings.
I definitely want to incorporate the reflective practices and classmate help into my student’s everyday practices. I just do not see it being a formal process only used on projects.

Charles,
ReplyDeleteMy only suggestion for you is that maybe you do not need to be so detailed with the GAME plan. Maybe the acronym could just be an outline for simple projects you may deal with in the course of your curriculum. Maybe just using a poster with the words "Goals, Action, Monitor, Evaluation" could remind students that any work completed should not be a quick task with no reflection. It is a process. I can understand your frustration, but a simple start may be the best.

Charles,
ReplyDeleteThe GAME plan is an involved process. I think your students could probably benefit from its struture. Maybe you could possibly make this an individual assignment that students work on throughout the year? I think that might alleviate some frustration!
I understand your frustrations. This process takes alot of planning and can be very tough to implement into the classroom. Good luck and keep trying and it will work out for you.
