Through videos and helpful quick strategies, this On-Your-Feet Guide will help you build learners' abilities to:

• Create their own learning goals
• Co-construct success criteria
• Self-assess
• Seek and give feedback

On-Your-Feet Guides (OYFGs) provide you with the ultimate "cheat sheet" to implement effective change in your classroom while in the moment of teaching. Designed for accessibility, and providing step-by-step guidance, the OYFGs are written by experts who take research-based practices and make them doable for the busy teacher.

Each On-Your-Feet Guide is laminated, 8.5"x11" tri-fold (6 pages), and 3-hole punched.
