    Questioning some conventional wisdom tonight. Here goes! Q1: T/F: Good instruction and assessment require backwards planning. #caedchat
  • LemarrTreadwell Jun 4 @ 11:06 PM EDT
    Hello #caedchat. Lemarr Treadwell, Fresno CA.
  • CohenD - Moderator Jun 4 @ 11:07 PM EDT
    Any Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe fans here tonight want to weigh in re: backwards planning? Do we need to define the term? #caedchat
  • CohenD - Moderator Jun 4 @ 11:08 PM EDT
    oops! Backwards planning means designing your final/summative assessment first then work backwards #caedchat
  • MrStrong3rd Jun 4 @ 11:08 PM EDT
    A1 True. I’m a PBL lover and the best outcomes demand content, skills, capabilities etc. Start with dream and then build. #caedchat #pblchat

      Questioning some conventional wisdom tonight. Here goes! Q1: T/F: Good instruction and assessment require backwards planning. #caedchat
  • teachermike72 Jun 4 @ 11:08 PM EDT
    Q1: Not necessarily, it is one helpful way of establishing learning outcomes but not the ONLY way. #caedchat
  • KKleespies Jun 4 @ 11:08 PM EDT
    A1: True. Knowing the end goal will help you to guide your students there...but there should be room for Ss interests #caedchat
  • AppEducationFox - Moderator Jun 4 @ 11:08 PM EDT
    A1 True. Know what you want Ss to know or be able to do, then plan the steps/scaffolds to get there. #caedchat
  • principledlady Jun 4 @ 11:09 PM EDT
    A1: False. There are no absolutes when you are talking about teaching. #caedchat
  • CohenD - Moderator Jun 4 @ 11:09 PM EDT
    Does PBL suggest that the end isn’t entirely planned out ahead of time by the teacher? #caedchat

    A1: Not entirely true! That leaves no room for exploration & creativity. #caedchat
  • AppEducationFox - Moderator Jun 4 @ 11:09 PM EDT
    Well that is the truth. Thinking about how I plan PBL or mini-lessons, I usually know some kind of outcome first. #caedchat

  • arturo_calisto Jun 4 @ 11:09 PM EDT
    A1 Backwards planning good in some situations but sometimes letting concepts evolve provides great learning opportunities. #caedchat

    Okay, if I got #caedchat people in some disagreement about a question, I think that was a good question!
  • LemarrTreadwell Jun 4 @ 11:10 PM EDT
    A1. I think we need to disruption regarding backwards planning to this. First, understand how Ss learn a new skill. #caedchat
  • CohenD - Moderator Jun 4 @ 11:10 PM EDT
    when I was sitting in a Wiggins workshop I was thinking, yes, this is the only way. Now, not as sure #caedchat
  • AppEducationFox - Moderator Jun 4 @ 11:10 PM EDT
    A1 Important to note that the "assessment" at the end isn't the only place where we should be "assessing." #caedchat
  • dubioseducator Jun 4 @ 11:11 PM EDT
    Wow in a few minutes this Q/A have my brain a buzzing. Remember I taught kinders so end outcome was really a beginning for most #caedchat

    A1: But I do tend to think backwards. #caedchat
  • MrStrong3rd Jun 4 @ 11:12 PM EDT
    I think a great project includes thoughtful planning & constraints, but allows for tangents/offshoots t make the Ss/class better #caedchat

    ------------> Q2 is up next. Look for @CohenD. #caedchat
  • principledlady Jun 4 @ 11:12 PM EDT
    A1: Asking yourself ?s is essential. What do I hope my Ss will learn, how might my Ss demonstrate there understanding. #caedchat
  • AppEducationFox - Moderator Jun 4 @ 11:12 PM EDT
    I'm a big picture thinker so I usually see the end before I know how to get there. If that makes sense. #caedchat
    In reply to @HowardKiyuna
  • johnccarver Jun 4 @ 11:12 PM EDT
    #caedchat This needs to be the foundation of our thinking
  • CohenD - Moderator Jun 4 @ 11:13 PM EDT
    Q2: To increase literacy, do we need to guide students to read books at the right reading level? #caedchat
  • DebbieHurtado Jun 4 @ 11:13 PM EDT
    A2 Guess we'll have to define 'right' reading level first... #caedchat
    In reply to @CohenD
  • AppEducationFox - Moderator Jun 4 @ 11:14 PM EDT
    A2 FALSE. Levels are a myth. Even the leveling system is questionable bc it does not take interests and motivation into account. #caedchat
  • teachermike72 Jun 4 @ 11:15 PM EDT
    TBH I have never thought about what the students should be learning in a given assignment, which is probably short sighted of me #caedchat
  • LemarrTreadwell Jun 4 @ 11:15 PM EDT
    A2. I believe a combination of right level, then tech supports with tech tools like Immersive Reader @MicrosoftEDU @OneNoteC #caedchat
  • arturo_calisto Jun 4 @ 11:15 PM EDT
    A2 Independent reading should be done at their level but reading slightly outside of it if the interest is there is ok. #caedchat
  • CohenD - Moderator Jun 4 @ 11:15 PM EDT
    Are there any systems for determining reading level that you would trust, maybe somewhat, maybe not? #caedchat
    In reply to @DebbieHurtado
  • KKleespies Jun 4 @ 11:15 PM EDT
    A2: I think encouraging reading of any kind increases literacy. Getting them to ENJOY reading is what's most important #caedchat
  • CohenD - Moderator Jun 4 @ 11:16 PM EDT
    As a HS English teacher with mostly very strong readers arriving at my school, I haven’t studied up on this very much, but… #caedchat
  • principledlady Jun 4 @ 11:16 PM EDT
    A2: sometimes but more importantly we need to teach them strategies for how to access all kinds of texts. If #caedchat
  • btcostello05 Jun 4 @ 11:16 PM EDT
    It depends on why they are reading, but to increase literacy you increase reading time. That works best with a passion for reading #caedchat

  • DebbieHurtado Jun 4 @ 11:16 PM EDT
    I'm going to defer to those who know better. I am a math teacher. Know I liked my kids to stretch but each stretched differently. #caedchat
    In reply to @CohenD
  • AppEducationFox - Moderator Jun 4 @ 11:16 PM EDT
    A2 Let's stop crushing the joy of reading with levels, quizzes, and points. Let's help kids find books they love. #caedchat
  • rose_pavlicek Jun 4 @ 11:17 PM EDT
    I am Rose, 2nd grade teacher, Never done Twitter chat. I start from standrd look @ spec child(ren) then plan #caedchat
  • dubioseducator Jun 4 @ 11:17 PM EDT
    A2 Don't get me started. But False. Nothing seems to have been a bigger disaster 2me then level w/little regard 2kid's interests #caedchat
  • CohenD - Moderator Jun 4 @ 11:17 PM EDT
    From what I have seen, lexile info is pretty limited usefulness. Some very heavy content can be written at a low lexile #caedchat
  • teachermike72 Jun 4 @ 11:17 PM EDT
    A2 Agree with Leila, they will not always get to choose their readings and the skills are essential for all ages #caedchat
  • ChristineMonge Jun 4 @ 11:17 PM EDT
    A2 No, Ss need to read what interests them. It doesn't always mean it's at their "level" #caedchat
  • principledlady Jun 4 @ 11:17 PM EDT
    Texting will riding in a truck is not the ideal way to participate in #caedchat lol

    Right on!! #caedchat
    In reply to @AppEducationFox
  • MrStrong3rd Jun 4 @ 11:18 PM EDT
    A2 Maybe reading levels get in the way of literature? Lit=social/emotional/philosophical too. I’ve read The Giving Tree w/ HS Ss. #caedchat

    Why don't you question practices? I'm just curious. #caedchat
    In reply to @HowardKiyuna
  • CohenD - Moderator Jun 4 @ 11:19 PM EDT
    Also important to consider importance of knowledge in building literacy - it’s not just about practicing the process #caedchat
  • CohenD - Moderator Jun 4 @ 11:19 PM EDT
    Ugh - I never liked that book! But I wouldn’t question that you can make it work for the right purpose! #caedchat

    This is true, but if they are allowed to read what they enjoy now they will be more inclined to read period #caedchat

    • teachermike72 Jun 4 @ 11:20 PM EDT

    A2: I do like lexiles. It helps make sense of wide gaps across Ss. Also tracks growth across yrs (1 yr growth over 3 yrs, etc) #caedchat

    A3 False. Failure is a part of the learning process. Read about the growth mindset to understand this better. #caedchat
  • teachermike72 Jun 4 @ 11:23 PM EDT
    Do you have time to do that? Not saying it isn't critical but can we seriously do that for every kid? #caedchat

  • rickeducation Jun 4 @ 11:25 PM EDT
    A3: Failure is not an option for Ss although Ss will make plenty of mistakes along the way. It is essential to learn from failure. #caedchat
    In reply to @CohenD
  • MrStrong3rd Jun 4 @ 11:26 PM EDT
    A3 Agh! False! Mistakes make your brain grow! We have to TRY, CRITIQUE, REVISE Iterate, Iterate Iterate! Unpack, Debrief, Dialogue #caedchat
  • KKleespies Jun 4 @ 11:26 PM EDT
    A3: False. Ss must learn from their failures. Our job is to set them up for success but they must learn some things on their own #caedchat
  • ChristineMonge Jun 4 @ 11:26 PM EDT
    A3 FALSE Ss need to learn to fail! It's part of life! #caedchat

    A3: for me as a HS teacher the consequences for my students failing a class are pretty serious #caedchat
  • AppEducationFox - Moderator Jun 4 @ 11:26 PM EDT

    In reply to @teachermike72, @arturo_calisto, @LemarrTreadwell
  • arturo_calisto Jun 4 @ 11:26 PM EDT

    Q3 sometimes failure causes a student to stop, think, relearn, and grow #caedchat
  • dubioseducator Jun 4 @ 11:27 PM EDT
    A3 F. If I felt mistakes were not steps to iteration, learning & growing, I would have lost opportunities to try my wings #caedchat
  • AppEducationFox - Moderator Jun 4 @ 11:27 PM EDT
    A3 Obviously getting an F in a class isn't good. But inside the system, kids need to know that you learn from mistakes and failure #caedchat
