Toyohashi JALT:

A Longitudinal Tool for Enhancing Student Responsibility

Date: Sunday, October 15th, 2006 Time: 1:30 PM - 4:00 PM

Speaker: Brad Deacon

Description:
This presentation focuses on an itemized chart system called the Active and Responsible Self-Evaluation List (ARSL) of specific learner behaviors and actions for student self-evaluation and management that are conducted over the course of a school year. Specifically, the items represent a collection of ten behavioral patterns and learning actions that can lead to a greater awareness of each student's responsibility and role towards positively impacting the classroom learning community as a whole. The presenter feels that it is important not only for teachers and students to focus on language and content goals; but to also be aware of communal goals and ways to enhance the learning of all group members.

The presenter will share the system and respective rationale by drawing on techniques and principles largely from the fields of neuro-linguistic programming and Thomas Gordon's Teacher Effectiveness Training (1974). Participants will have a hands-on opportunity to create their own ARSL lists through presenter-lead brainstorming and refining activities. Finally the presenter will offer both quantitative and qualitative feedback from students on the system.
