The Benefits of Sharing Our Planning With Students
As educators, we know that when students have ownership over their learning, they are more engaged and achieve better results. One way to encourage student engagement is to give them a say in their own learning. This can be done through active learning in which students are encouraged to take an active role in their own education.
One way to implement active learning is to involve students in the planning process. By sharing the planning stage with them, we can help them feel ownership over their learning and foster a sense of responsibility. This involvement can lead to a number of benefits, including:
1. Increased Engagement: When students feel a sense of ownership over their learning, they are more engaged in the process. This increased engagement leads to better results, including increased comprehension and better problem-solving skills.
2. Improved Learning Outcomes: When we involve students in the planning process, we help them learn how to think critically and solve problems. This skill set is essential for success in any field, and it can be learned through active learning.
3. Increased Responsibility: When students are given a role in the planning process, they are more likely to take on responsibility for their learning. This increased responsibility can lead to a stronger sense of self-awareness and greater determination.
The benefits of sharing our planning with students are clear and compelling. By involving students in the planning stage, we can help them learn how to think critically and solve problems, increase their engagement and responsibility, and achieve better results.
