@MrBaskwill Google is fantastic for this quick feedback. #learnLap

sandyrotto Mar 14 @ 8:10 PM EDT

@mrskochheiser So true. I usually realize it when I see their 1st attempts. Realizing need to model is step in the right direction #learnLap

StefaniePitzer Mar 14 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A1: My district grades K-2 uses standard based grading. Try to keep the 4, 3, 2, 1, scale language across the board #learnLap

nyrangerfan42 Mar 14 @ 8:11 PM EDT

@PTsetsakos we focus on VERBS, what those verbs mean, how you show learning with those verbs, and where on Blooms those verbs are #learnLap

tweetjre Mar 14 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A1: Use scales, rubrics, post lrning objectives, id standards when ever possible and try to give them a visual model "look like". #LearnLAP

sandyrotto Mar 14 @ 8:11 PM EDT

@PaulSolarz Having them visible on your website is such a great idea. We use @Schoology and I post examples there. #learnLap

ARutschke Mar 14 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A1: We make rubrics together based on the standards & I have exemplars available as well #LearnLAP

jacq_mccarthy Mar 14 @ 8:12 PM EDT

Do Ss ALWAYS need to know the learning target upfront? #learnLap

mrskochheiser Mar 14 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@sandyrotto Exactly.I let my enthusiasm drive our focus sometimes & I have to remember the importance of sharing the map w/my Ss. #learnLAP

sandyrotto Mar 14 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@nyrangerfan42 Knowing the learning target and seeing what that actually looks like are different. We need both. #learnLap

TeachKerley Mar 14 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A1. Ss given rubric at beginning of a project but are always expected to be creative & go above expectations with "WOW" factor. #LearnLAP

charrod Mar 14 @ 8:13 PM EDT

We have t/students reflect at t/end of studio time. This also gives them the chance 2 plan their work 4 t/next day. #LearnLAP

PTsetsakos Mar 14 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A2: I have my students keep a portion of their chemistry notebook as a journal where they write about what they learned #learnlap

ARutschke Mar 14 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A1: we post our "I Can " statements in the room, on assignments & on our website as well #LearnLAP

docvs1 Mar 14 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A2: I model by thinking out loud my process all the time. I give them guiding Qs, time & a space in their notebook. Wean off Qs #learnlap

sandyrotto Mar 14 @ 8:14 PM EDT

@PTsetsakos Great idea! Showing students what the standard looks like helps them. Transparency and providing mentor "texts" #learnLap

MrAlbertSES Mar 14 @ 8:14 PM EDT

#learnLap a2 model friday meetings asking them what i need to do better? Every lesson, app presentation what went well what was hard?

nyrangerfan42 Mar 14 @ 8:15 PM EDT

a2: make it PART of the lesson - so many dif. ways to reflect - DON'T fall into the "ok, 5mins left, guess we'll reflect" trap #learnLap

docvs1 Mar 14 @ 8:15 PM EDT

@StefaniePitzer @sandyrotto @PaulSolarz We are looking at class notebook for next school year #learnlap

DVanS41 Mar 14 @ 8:15 PM EDT

@charrod Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to explore later! #LearnLAP

PTsetsakos Mar 14 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A2: I also encourage cogenerative dialogues between myself and my students where we discuss and reflect on the weekly lessons #learnlap

MrBaskwill Mar 14 @ 8:15 PM EDT

@jacq_mccarthy I say no, you can rob them of the moment of discovery if they know what they are suppose to discover #LearnLAP

MrAlbertSES Mar 14 @ 8:15 PM EDT

#learnLap a2 If reflection is done after every thing, then it is about growth not a personal attack.

charrod Mar 14 @ 8:15 PM EDT

Hi @sandyrotto! #LearnLAP

MegFerguson1 Mar 14 @ 8:15 PM EDT

Hey folks Meg From Halifax, NS 🇨🇦 HS music, Sociology #learnLAP

ARutschke Mar 14 @ 8:16 PM EDT

PTsetsakos Mar 14 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@sandyrotto thank you :) #learnlap

sandyrotto Mar 14 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@mrterborg I think it's so important to show the standards in words AND examples as much as possible. Even in front of them. #learnLap

tweetjre Mar 14 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A2: I have made "status of the class" status quo, expanded from our reader's workshop. Also reflecting with a peer helps! #learnLap

PaulSolarz - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A2 - We use our ePortfolios to reflect most of the time, but also trying @RecapThat this week! #LearnLAP - Sample: https://t.co/Cd7zRE0SIx

StefaniePitzer Mar 14 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A2: Try to create an environment of reflection by modeling my own. Then love to circle up at the end of lessons & share out. #learnLap

nyrangerfan42 Mar 14 @ 8:17 PM EDT

@ARutschke @jacq_mccarthy the learning target can be hidden in the #hook #tlap #learnLap

mrskochheiser Mar 14 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2) I use many means for self reflection-- exit tickets, @padlet, @socrative, writer's notebooks, google forms, small groups #learnLap

tweetjre Mar 14 @ 8:17 PM EDT

@sandyrotto @burgessdave That is key - can not cook anything without prep and preheat! #tlap #learnLap

TeachKerley Mar 14 @ 8:17 PM EDT

Usually but not always. Ss are capable of going well beyond what we could ever expect of them! #learnLAP https://t.co/gcj41NI4ql

jacq_mccarthy Mar 14 @ 8:12 PM EDT

Do Ss ALWAYS need to know the learning target upfront? #learnLap

lthomaspaquin Mar 14 @ 8:17 PM EDT

#LearnLAP A2 I feel as though my Ss don't reflect that well. Rubrics, checklists, discussion, but they are quick to feel their work is fine.

mattanasia2 Mar 14 @ 8:17 PM EDT

@PTsetsakos Doyou grade this portion of their journal? Howdo hold them accountable for reflection without discouraging the process #learnlap

mrterborg Mar 14 @ 8:17 PM EDT

@sandyrotto Yes it is. Need to create this or have them create one. #learnlap #tlap

sandyrotto Mar 14 @ 8:17 PM EDT

@tweetjre Love that last part, especially. It's what I've been working harder to do this year. #learnLap

PaulSolarz - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A2: Sometimes give Ss more structure for reflection & sometimes less. - More: https://t.co/kkr8fm8X2N - Less: What did you learn? #LearnLAP

sandyrotto Mar 14 @ 8:18 PM EDT

@MrAlbertSES Hope you'll find it here...although I'm not worried with this crew! #learnLap

MegFerguson1 Mar 14 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A2: While S prepare for solos, Practice plan graphic org, target trouble spots, why dif, strategies to imp, practice + report #Learnlap

KatieJMcNamara Mar 14 @ 8:18 PM EDT

@charrod cool, that looks good! My Studio Habits & project rubrics are also accomplishment-based with mostly positive language #LearnLAP

DouglasHibbs Mar 14 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A2: Language used is vital. Be honest and say I reflect. Take risks. Bring in life experiences. Have portfolios to look at. #learnLap

sandyrotto Mar 14 @ 8:19 PM EDT

@jacq_mccarthy I believe they need to know WHY they are learning something. Whay should they care and put forth effort? #learnLap

PTsetsakos Mar 14 @ 8:19 PM EDT

@mattanasia2 I do not give them a formal grade on their journal. To hold them accountable I do collect it to read & give feedback #learnlap

dmfouts Mar 14 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A2 Carve out time for them to ask questions about where they are and what they need. Must be habitual. #Questionweek #LearnLap

charrod Mar 14 @ 8:20 PM EDT

No grades on blogs either. #LearnLAP

KimberlyOnak1 Mar 14 @ 8:20 PM EDT

@DVanS41 @PaulSolarz @RecapThat Yes that looks like an interesting link you shared. Thanks! #learnLap

mattanasia2 Mar 14 @ 8:20 PM EDT

@learnLAP A3: Reflection in inquiry based science is intrinsic and should be done every lab/lesson #learnlap

KjLeeScience Mar 14 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A3: I think if we assess our students before we teach the lesson they can more easily reflect on their progress. #LearnLAP

@MrBaskwill I love tech for that purpose. So many ways to provide personal feedback and reflection with large classes. #learnLap

charrod Mar 14 @ 8:20 PM EDT

@DVanS41 @lthomaspaquin I think it's about student ownership. #LearnLAP

DouglasHibbs Mar 14 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A3: Reflection should occur more often with at risk students. All should reflect #learnLap

PTsetsakos Mar 14 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A3 :They should reflect at the start, middle and end of every unit to measure progress #learnlap

docvs1 Mar 14 @ 8:21 PM EDT

DouglasHibbs Mar 14 @ 8:22 PM EDT

Reflection is a vital process that all must do daily. Getting students to that level is a progression-self monitoring themselves. #learnLap

PaulSolarz - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A3 - We reflect on all "Big Ideas" that are learned and anything that involves growth over time. Not so much on minor skills. #LearnLAP

KimberlyOnak1 Mar 14 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A3: Ss typically self-assess (form assess)after 2-3 learning activities per target. And have them assess before/after summative. #learnLap

specialtechie Mar 14 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A1: Unpack standards! 1 of our local T's made this template for T's to use w/S's. I've seen K T's use it. #learnlap https://t.co/2NsNqAdFPb

mrskochheiser Mar 14 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A3) Like a good story, reflection should occur at the beginning, in the middle and as a student concludes learning new concepts #learnLap

nyrangerfan42 Mar 14 @ 8:22 PM EDT

@CaseySFW @sandyrotto I agree with that - when I do 'projects' I limit showing ideas #learnLap

#LearnLAP discussion - much is applicable to Portfolio-Based Language Assessment #PBLA initiative in adult ESL in Can.

specialtechie Mar 14 @ 8:51 PM EDT

@mrterborg I believe so! I have a sticky note template for notebooks too. I'll have to find & share. #learnlap

KimberlyOnak1 Mar 14 @ 8:52 PM EDT

@sandyrotto This is so true! When Ss get overwhelmed then we get shut down mode not achiever mode. #learnLap

DVanS41 Mar 14 @ 8:52 PM EDT

@specialtechie @mrterborg I'm intrigued with your sticky note template. Is it something you can share? #LearnLAP

sandyrotto Mar 14 @ 8:52 PM EDT

@tweetjre And so much easier to differentiate when Ss are doing much of the self-assessing & goal setting. #LearnLAP

Dear PLN -Presenting on Using Twitter in the clssrm and Prof. learning. Would love to share any comments. Msg me a comment? #learnLap

PaulSolarz - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:53 PM EDT

A7 - We EVALUATE & set a goal at the end of each day as a whole group. Has led to major improvements! #LearnLAP https://t.co/oh2W0F6uWD

hohmsclass Mar 14 @ 8:53 PM EDT

@sandyrotto sure! Works well in class, also across classes if you plan w/ someone willing to combine & allow structured freedom ha #LearnLAP

specialtechie Mar 14 @ 8:54 PM EDT

@DVanS41 @mrterborg Looking for it. I'm on my chromebook and I think it's on my other computer. #learnLap

sandyrotto Mar 14 @ 8:54 PM EDT

I can't believe it's our final #LearnLAP question...Q8. How can we move into peer assessment? @PaulSolarz #tlap https://t.co/OhcT7WOhAT

Rwenskay Mar 14 @ 8:54 PM EDT

Trolling, but decided to jump in. Rdg/ESL K-12 teacher. When ss create the rubrics, they can set stronger and more specific goals. #LearnLAP

docvs1 Mar 14 @ 8:54 PM EDT

@tweetjre Get to talk w/peers, get ideas, documents, links etc #learnlap

sandyrotto Mar 14 @ 8:55 PM EDT

A8: First, it's obvious that once Ss become better able to self-assess, they will understand which comments push peer's learning. #learnLap

mrskochheiser Mar 14 @ 8:55 PM EDT

A7) Keep asking Ss: "how" can you reach your goal? Ask it until Ss drills down to specific action step. #LearnLAP

lthomaspaquin Mar 14 @ 8:55 PM EDT

@PaulSolarz My Ss do this, but I think daily may be the missing piece! How did we do? What are our goals? #LearnLAP

sandyrotto Mar 14 @ 8:55 PM EDT

@Rwenskay Thanks for joining. Check out the feed. Great sharing tonight in #learnLap

KjLeeScience Mar 14 @ 8:55 PM EDT

A8: Peer assessments will help the students learn how to give and take constructive criticism. #LearnLAP

PaulSolarz - Moderator Mar 14 @ 8:55 PM EDT

Please consider moderating an upcoming #LearnLAP chat! We are a community trying to encourage positive change! :) https://t.co/ND1yt8VMG0

specialtechie Mar 14 @ 8:55 PM EDT

A7: Once they can assess themselves, it's natural to look for the positive changes to make without being critical of peers. #LearnLAP

thedevineone Mar 14 @ 8:55 PM EDT

A8 Self Assessment will give kids the language, experience, and confidence they need to assess peers in a productive way. #LearnLAP

pettispbla Mar 14 @ 8:55 PM EDT

#LearnLAP Research suggests Ss who engage in peer assess become better at seeing strengths/gaps in their own work

ARutschke Mar 14 @ 8:56 PM EDT

A7: SMART goals, daily group goals, time for reflection & feedback, responsibility partners #LearnLAP

tweetjre Mar 14 @ 8:56 PM EDT

A8: Ss will gain practice w/ eff. feedback! It is immediate, timely, helpful + moves Ss toward mastery and increase self-eval. #Learnlap

docvs1 Mar 14 @ 8:56 PM EDT

A8: once learn to be objective, can transfer to peers. Important: peers don't see what our brain fills in that we missed #learnlap

sandyrotto Mar 14 @ 8:56 PM EDT

@lthomaspaquin @PaulSolarz And it doesn't have to be written anywhere. A quick verbal share with partner works well, too. #learnLap

lthomaspaquin Mar 14 @ 8:56 PM EDT

#LearnLAP Thanks so much for getting me thinking-- what works, what to add!

mrterborg Mar 14 @ 8:56 PM EDT

#learnlap Seems like this relates to an upcoming lego chat tonight. on either #xlap or #tlap #tlchat https://t.co/WUSG9BnM2f

nathan_stevens Mar 14 @ 8:51 PM EDT

Never ever ask families to DONATE a kid's Legos. That is a mortal sin. Legos are a lifetimes learning #tlchat https://t.co/c6ZNCFYBPG

docvs1 Mar 14 @ 8:56 PM EDT

A8: gives another perspective when hear what peers got from it #learnlap

If you'd like to connect with others who are implementing ideas from #LearnLAP, please add your name to the PLN: https://t.co/yqOsvP7qVV

mrskochheiser Mar 14 @ 8:57 PM EDT

A8) When Ss understand themselves they can better help peers improve--they have background knowledge necessary for deeper convo #LearnLAP

sandyrotto Mar 14 @ 8:57 PM EDT

Positive PIRATE change is always a good thing for Ss! #learnLap https://t.co/LMAr1cwvVD

A8 - The discussions we have every day help students refine their understanding of acceptable behavior, strong work ethic, etc. #LearnLAP

docvs1 Mar 14 @ 8:58 PM EDT

@pettispbla learn best when you teach it, this is similar #learnlap

MissCastronovo7 Mar 14 @ 8:58 PM EDT

@KjLeeScience So important!It's great to see comments grow from "That was good" to something more specific and beneficial for all #LearnLAP

hohmsclass Mar 14 @ 8:58 PM EDT

A8. Positive, social experiences with academic writing, communication, discussion, etc.=win for Ss and Ts every time #LearnLAP

sandyrotto Mar 14 @ 8:58 PM EDT

@specialtechie Also, the classroom community we build and nurture plays a part in honest feedback that's taken w/best intentions. #learnLap

ARutschke Mar 14 @ 8:58 PM EDT

A8: Once Ss master honest self-assessment they often have gained empathy & objectivity to be an effective peer assessor. #LearnLAP

sandyrotto Mar 14 @ 8:59 PM EDT

Well, that's a wrap, #LearnLAP crew! Thanks @PaulSolarz for the inspiration. What an incredible night. #tlap https://t.co/eHZOsVAv0u
