A Google Slide Deck introduction to the MITECS competency Empowered Learner - Students leverage technology to take an active role in choosing, achieving and demonstrating competency in their learning goals, informed by the learning sciences.
Example: Seventh grade students in an English class set individual goals based on their initial reading fluency and comprehension assessment results. As the academic year progressed, the students jotted “success notes” to themselves as they mastered new skills. Each student charted their goals and monitored their own progress each week through a personalized goal tracker checklist. As the academic year progressed, each student wrote about their learning journey in an online journal that was shared with their teacher. At the end of the year, students reflected on and celebrated their growth.
Questions for Reflection:
- How do the MITECS complement core content?
- How might you and your colleagues develop cross-curricular experiences to support the MITECS?
- Which of the competencies are you most familiar with?
- Which competency is an area of growth for you, as an educator?
