Well I am 2 and half months into year 2 for my self-paced classroom and some things have improved, some things I am questioning, and some things definitely need to change. I was super excited going into this school year with my self-paced structure and interested to see how the pieces I was adding would work. Overall I am pleased with how things are going, but I have definitely found more things that I need to work on. What I added This year
What I am struggling With
Overall, I am still happy with the student-directed structure of my class and really not sure I could go back to the more traditional setting. I do know that I still want improve and that are things that I can improve on. I am going to keep working and looking for inspiration and people to collaborate with. If any of you have some ideas or suggestions, I would love to hear them!

I have just started implementing a self paced classroom. Have you found any techniques in particular to deal with your "struggles" that have worked for you? I would appreciate any suggestions! Thank you!

Thank you for your comment Carol! I am sorry that it has taken me so long to reply. To be honest I am still struggling with some of them. For the weekly tracker grade I have combined that with the unit checklist. I still keep track but enter the grade with the unit tracker grade. What students told me was that it was a lot of information that they weren't really understanding its impact, so we talk about it when I conference with them and then at the end of the unit, we discuss how their self-regulation skills impacted their unit. That has been more productive this year.
