Standard 6: Criteria A

Creates a learning community that encourages positive social interaction, active engagement, and self-regulation for every student.

I chose a lesson plan as an artifact to show strength and growth in the above criteria.

Artifact:  Got Games?     

Reflection:  This lesson allows students to work in groups, create a board game of their own creation, and comes with a scoring rubric for groups to choose their grade.  It is a very active, engaging lesson as students get to design a game of their own as well as play games that other student have created.  It also acts as a review lesson for the American Revolution.  Positive social interaction, active engagement and self-regulation are definitely a part of this lesson plan.
