Let's Hear the "Voice of the Customer": Student Reflections Wanted
Let’s hear the “voice of the customer!” Teachers, are you engaging your students in continuous improvement? We want to hear from them, in their own voices. Consider having your students write about their experiences with continuous improvement in your classroom.
Over the next month, the Quality in Education blog will seek input from educators and their students who are willing to share their experiences with continuous improvement. The following questions my help prompt some dialog and reflection:
-What does quality mean to you? How would you define it?
-What is continuous improvement? What does it look like in your classroom?
-Is your classroom “student-focused”? How?
-How do you actively participate in your learning? What responsibilities do you have?
-What are your experiences with mission statements, goal setting, data folders, charting progress with quality tools, class meetings and/or student-led conferences?
-What is the climate and culture like in the continuous improvement classroom?
Teachers, why not have your students write about their experiences today? Give your students an opportunity to write about their experiences with continuous improvement. A paragraph or two is sufficient- only include the grade level and city (no personally identifiable information please). Please email me (jmarino@cr.k12.ia.us) with your students’ reflections in the next few weeks. What a great way to bring closure to another year of continuous improvement!
