Student Survey -  On his website, Ron Ritchhart has a student survey (and survey breakdown) on classroom perceptions.  This is a great idea to give to your students at the end of this school year and use for personal reflection for improvement for next year.  The constructs being surveyed include: Teacher Goals (work vs. learning), Academic Press or Thinking, Learning as Collaboration, Building a Community of Learners, and Academic Efficacy.  You can then use the breakdown to look at each type of question and what the response say about your classroom.  I have also attached these documents.  

Maker Spaces -  Nicholas Provenzano and Suzie Boss highlight some of the positive influences maker spaces are having in schools across our country.  Stop by our own maker space to see what’s happening here at Reuther! 

Food for thought:
