WIP GAP: Today’s the Day
Today is the de facto date for progress reports, so you have been asked to complete a work-in-progress grade abatement profile score report — what you now should recognize as a WIP GAP report. The guide to these scores is available here:
The form you must fill out is available here: https://forms.gle/FM5aZbDR8Stgfk6v8. You’ll need to be signed into your Brewster account to access it. What you’ll find is a stripped-down version of the formal GAP report.
As always, this kind of self-assessment requires you to weigh evidence honestly and objectively. It is “collective human judgment informed by evidence,” as Tony Wagner calls it: a collaborative effort to validate your progress, hold you accountable for any missteps, and give you direction moving forward.
You can mark the assignment on Google Classroom as done when you’ve completed the report. Alternatively, you can create a document there to start a discussion about your progress. That is strongly encouraged! The more you invest, the more successful you will be.
In fact, you are also strongly encouraged to ask questions here, in the comment section of this post, about your progress. Those questions will benefit others, and what benefits them will also help you.
It might be most helpful to read some of the testimonials about this makerspace that are available online:
This makerspace approach to your learning is highly effective for 95% of students, but 100% is more than possible. If you find yourself in that 5%, start a discussion. Ask questions. Invest in the space, and it will pay off, because it always does.
Remember that a lack of communication and honesty is what kills any relationship. Your integrity is as much a part of your learning profile as any other skill or trait.
