Student Directed Assignment Task Sheet

If I were to summarise my ultimate vision for my teaching career, it would go something like this - students decide what they want to learn, students manage their own learning, computers do all of the repetitive tasks (including grading, come on AI!) and the teacher facilitates the process. Most of the resources that I develop have one of those four goals in mind, including the one below.
This resource has been through a couple of iterations; it started as a Google Doc that had some good ideas but felt a little boring. Then it became a Google Sheet with the goal of incorporating some automation, but which ultimately proved a little unwieldy. And finally, is now just the right length so as not to scare the kids, that pushes students to properly consider their learning goals, and provides a way for teachers to track and assess the progress of individual students.
It's not perfect, and after a first run through with my grade 8 students earlier this year I'm aware of some flaws, but I do think it's a neat encapsulation of the possibilities I see for student directed learning, and how it can be assisted with technology.
