Scholar Target Posters!!!

"But all the magic I have known, I've had to make myself." -Shel Silverstein, "Magic", Where the Sidewalk Ends

Many teachers (like me!) post "Learning Targets" to help students make sense of what they are doing and what they are trying to achieve. I post "I can" statements every day next to each subject on my daily schedule on my whiteboard. Students check them out to see what the day will bring, and we sometimes read aloud through them together. It really helps me as a teacher to make sure I understand the learning goals of each lesson! Every day matters. :)

There are also a variety of behaviors that we can teach our students that will lead to their success in school. I have created “Scholar Targets” for this very purpose! You can find them in my TPT store (see link below). Students can choose which target they want to work on each week, or you can work on one as a class. There are 40 different Scholar Targets you will find in this pack, plus blank templates you can use to create your own. There is a HUGE variety of targets you will find. Examples include: "I can respond to the attention signal." "I can ask an academic question today." "I can do my share of the work." "I can answer by speaking in complete sentences." and MANY more!

Students can reflect in writing how they are doing, compliment each other at the end of a lesson or at the end of the day, or participate in a class discussion about the targets. There are lots of directions you could go with these!

Do you do something like this in your classroom? How would you incorporate "Scholar Targets" into what you are already doing?
