I believe that great instructional planning is the foundation of effective teaching and learning. When we design with intention, clarity, and flexibility, we create opportunities for all students to succeed. I’ve found that sharing best practices and challenges with others helps me grow and improve my own approach. I’m excited to learn from this community’s collective wisdom and to contribute my experiences as well. Together, we can make instructional design more impactful and meaningful!

I ensure that my grading is complete within 2 days of the assignment date.  This lets my students know that they matter to me.  

I ask for feedback from students as we finish up a big assignment and at the end of each semester.  This gives the students buy in, in the course so that they feel like they are in control of their education.

I like the idea of going back through the list on the white board and circling them to show connections.

I like the idea of having people come into the classroom and guest teach.  I also have an unpublished section in my canvas course where I write down notes about things that I want to update / change for next year.  This helps me to remember what I need to change when the time comes again.

I learned that sustainability in a school-based enterprise means creating a business that can last over time through planning, teamwork, and consistent effort. I plan to apply this by focusing on long-term goals, training others, and keeping the business organized and student-driven.

Student-based enterprises develop learners by teaching practical and soft skills. I plan to apply this by encouraging teamwork and reflection to help everyone grow.  It’s ok to fail, embrace failures as we learn more from them. 

Implementation is about putting the business plan into action and managing daily operations. I plan to apply this by staying organized and working closely with my team of students.  Evaluating, communicating, collaborating in a creative positive environment. 

I learned that student-based enterprises help develop real-world skills like teamwork, problem-solving, and entrepreneurship. I plan to apply this by actively participating in creating and managing a business that benefits our school community.

Although it may be scary to students, independent assignments are a good thing!
