Creating Independent Learners with “Words their Way”

All Freebies

A team of 3rd grade teachers in my district, Ginger and Becky, were willing to share their system that creates independent learners when using the program “Words Their Way.”
Research shows us that taking the time to train students to be independent learners is a necessary component for a successful multigrade or single grade classroom.

Ginger acknowledged the amount of teacher effort needed to create independent learners, but “Once the students are “trained” to be independent, it is pretty amazing.”

Visit my blog, Multigrade Matters: Ideas for a Split Classroom, to download 4 different group checklists the students use to track their individual progress, and a student rubric to assess that individual work. 
I really liked how each checklist was so clear and understandable. Every student,  regardless of level, knows EXACTLY what they should be doing.
