Chapter 8 - Reinforcing Effort
Effort is something that is lacking in a lot of students- even in the SEARCH students I teach. They have figured out what they have to do to get by and that's all they do. I honestly didn't get as much out of this chapter as the others previously. The effort rubric looks worthwhile. The spreadsheet looks easy to manipulate. But this is one of those areas I see myself not following through with. I see the importance, but with time limitations for planning and teaching, I can see this rubric as something I'd like to do , but I don't follow through with. The data collection section really left me with more questions as opposed to something I could walk away with and use.

I feel much the same way about this chapter. I am not sure technology really helps a whole lot in this area. I think back to when I had students keep reading logs. It is quicker to do it on paper than with a computer. The only benefit to the computer is that the students could create graphs.
