We partnered with Amplify Ambassador Allie Appel to create these goal-setting bookmarks! Allie works with her students to set goals, then checks in on their progress and places a sticker or star in the box below a goal once they’ve completed it. Once one goal is met, the students set another!

💬 Advice and answers
|
|
How can I differentiate using Amplify ELA?
The Differentiation section of the Lesson Brief explains the supports provided in each level and when these supports may be helpful for particular students. Don’t forget that activities with a plus icon contain differentiation levels with supports and extension activities for all learners. And in the Student Level Assignments screen, you can easily drag and drop student names into the level appropriate for their needs!

|
Do you have any struggling writers in your classroom?
For those who find that some students are writing below the threshold and not producing their targeted word count, we’ve provided recommended strategies in the Strategies for Struggling Writers section of the PD Library.
