    In reply to @ClassDojo

    And de-emphasize grades. It's not about what's been achieved. You can't grow from an A if that's the focus. #dojochat

    A4 Mandatory every 4-5 weeks. Personally, when needed. #DojoChat

    We do this a few times a year but I'm excited for student portfolios to come out so I can do it more! #edim510 #dojochat
  • smithstrws - Moderator Sep 13 @ 7:28 PM EDT
    A4.2 Mostly through progress reports from teachers & RTI data. #DojoChat
  • TinaHulsey17 Sep 13 @ 7:28 PM EDT
    I like how you said "Mandatory". If teachers used this "Mandatory" can you imagine how much more successful the child would be? #DojoChat

    We're feeling inspired! 😍 #dojochat Q4 is up!

    If you want to "shock students " , do a short pre-test and a post-test after the lesson. INSTANT REALISATION of growth potential. #dojochat
  • JeremyDBond Sep 13 @ 7:28 PM EDT
    I do wonder if it causes some to perform under their abilities. #dojochat

    Well, it's kind of common sense to me, but our district is great about making sure we communicate progress. #DojoChat

    A4: At LEAST once a month. If a student is struggling, it should be every 1-2 weeks so parents can work on literacy at home more #dojochat
  • icameisawipad Sep 13 @ 7:30 PM EDT
    In NSW, Australia we update student literacy and numeracy every 5 weeks. Formal reports twice per year. Informal chats often #dojochat
  • Miss2ndgradeWCS Sep 13 @ 7:31 PM EDT
    A4: every 4-5 weeks with interms and report cards...sooner if it is a major concern. #dojochat
  • TinaHulsey17 Sep 13 @ 7:31 PM EDT
    One thing my school does is we have the students graph their reading progress. When they see the progress they want to keep going #DojoChat
    In reply to @icameisawipad

    A4) My experience as a parent is it's been often limited to conferences and when there's a concern. Where's the regular good news? #dojochat

    I hear you, I just ask them to sit and complete this task. They know and trust me. Everyone loves the post-test results #dojochat
    • MSUteachSP Sep 13 @ 7:40 PM EDT
      Be careful calling it a "test" in front of the students. It could un-motivate them and skew their results! #dojochat

    A6: my kids now say im not sure how to do this yet vs I can't do this. Motivation has changed! Our culture is way more positive #dojochat
  • Miss2ndgradeWCS Sep 13 @ 7:45 PM EDT
    A6: They've learned #thepowerofyet and the importance of not telling ourselves "I can't". We want our brains to grow! #dojochat
  • mrshaskell213 Sep 13 @ 7:45 PM EDT
    A6 I dont know about this philosophy YET! I will have to look it up! I know that Growth Mindset builds confidence in my Ss though #dojochat

    It has taken the β€˜off-task - learned helplessness” out of their default behaviours and made them learners! #dojochat

    A6 students aren't scared to take chances, be themselves --> they thrive in an enviro. where they strive to do the best they can! #dojochat
  • JeremyDBond Sep 13 @ 7:48 PM EDT
    Do you find that calls work best for everyone or do you vary how you reach parents? (I guess dojo would be one...) #dojochat

    Q7: The more positives you send their way, the more student progress you have! More student and parent buy-in! #dojochat
  • smithstrws - Moderator Sep 13 @ 7:51 PM EDT
    A7 The more invested the stakeholders are, the more the child grows - academically & personally. #DojoChat
  • JeremyDBond Sep 13 @ 7:51 PM EDT
    Absolutely. Actually I expect I'll want more from our 8th grader's teachers. Seems harder to connect in middle school and beyond. #dojochat

    A7 Positive communication creates more opportunities for the positive. Growing together, team for student, communication is key. #dojochat
  • educbailiemcgee Sep 13 @ 7:51 PM EDT
    A7 The more you share progress, the more parents will be open to communicate. Everyone wants to see their child succeed! #dojochat

  • techytess Sep 13 @ 7:53 PM EDT
    A7: + communication creates trust that helps if there is ever a conflict. Kids thrive when Ps & Ts show they are working together! #dojochat
  • JeremyDBond Sep 13 @ 7:54 PM EDT
    Sure does. I'll take communication in any form, though. Many of us are joined at the hip with our mobile devices. #dojochat

    A7: When parents are aware of progress, they can support them to further their learning at home. We want our students to succeed! #dojochat
  • JeremyDBond Sep 13 @ 7:54 PM EDT
    Especially because the No. 1 stakeholder is the child. #dojochat
  • educknhochst Sep 13 @ 7:54 PM EDT
    A7: Meaningful & consistent communication = a more involved & invested parent! Invested parents = invested students #dojochat
