**How do I ensure that students meet standards in open-ended activities and projects?**
If students are taking notes or writing in journals during group discussions, activities, and projects, this can help teachers identify if standards are being met.

Use assessments throughout project. The open-ended activities should be broad enough that the standards are included. Daily journals will show what each student is learning each day. KWL charts at the beginning and end of the unit will demonstrate learning. Projects will demonstrate learning. But I still want to give an assessment to address the standards at the end.

If students are in charge of their own learning, how will we be sure they learn what is important?
Student checklist and self-evaluations CFQ's to direct learning and self assessment checklists Formative assessments while the project is in progress will provide feedback. If students are off-track, teacher should redirect or even modify the steps of the project to ensure specific learning goals are met. Checklists will ensure the teacher of each students progress.

How do I ensure accountability when students are working in groups?
Group checklist Monitor group work group checklists and observation Each student in the group must have a well-defined and necessary role to play that makes them accountable to their team. Monitor group work and address activities with checklists. Have brief discussions with those individuals who appear to be off task. Group work usually has a few stragglers that do not participate as much as we would like. Review or discuss a grading rubric with these individuals to emphasize the grade aspect of the project.
