    A1: Learning objectives must be clear. Choice boards are a great way of scaffolding Ss towards them choosing their own way to demonstrate. #satchat
  • HERprincipal Apr 7 @ 7:38 AM EDT
    A1: There should be variety in how students can demonstrate knowledge. Projects, oral demonstrations (versus written), formative assessments along the way instead of the "final" assessment. #satchat

  • BrianHerb17 Apr 7 @ 7:38 AM EDT
    A1: Students need choice when it comes to finished product. They should be able to write, create a visual, present to the class, participate in a discussion. I’d much rather see a variety of finished products than sit down to grade a stack of essays. #satchat
  • bgriffinteach Apr 7 @ 7:38 AM EDT

  • carlameyrink Apr 7 @ 7:38 AM EDT
    A1 I like to give them choice, not only in what they'll be learning but in how they'll show their learning - a menu of options, one includes "free choice - create your rubric & okay it with T" #satchat
  • CaseyKocsis16 Apr 7 @ 7:38 AM EDT

  • engineerteacher Apr 7 @ 7:39 AM EDT
    A1: Scrap the idea of a one-size-fits-all test and allow students to demonstrate mastery of any learning target at any time via a one-on-one conversation, through their #PBL, or other authentic assessment. Demonstrate DOK vs. jumping through hoops. #satchat

  • HERprincipal Apr 7 @ 7:40 AM EDT
    A1: Demonstrations of knowledge in a variety of manners including projects, students telling Ts and Ls about what they are learning. Formative versus summative assessments along the way to truly "see" what students are learning. #satchat
  • bohndrake Apr 7 @ 7:40 AM EDT
    A1- and why I do give options or these choice boards I see, one problem is that I was required to give a rubric for every single option. That seemed too much. Do rubrics prove learning in all cases ? Sometimes just discussions prove that #Satchat

    A1 Depends on where we are in the learning process. If it’s a quick formative, I usually chose, so my data is easy to work with. Summative, I give options from which they can choose, or come up with their own way and tell me. #satchat

    It starts with knowings your Ss & knowing what real-world things they'll connect to. Ask your Ss how what we're learning is relevant, see what they come up with. Showing relevance goes a long way. Also, start with a real-world problem or scenario as a jumping off point. #satchat

      Q4: In what ways does your classroom encourage risk-taking and embracing mistakes when students demonstrate their learning? #satchat
  • Tkohlmann25 Apr 7 @ 8:09 AM EDT
    A4 students will take risks if the classroom environment is set up in a way that allows students to learn from their mistakes. Learning from ones mistakes can be very powerful. Mastering practice leads to successful assessments! #satchat
  • deirdrefaughey Apr 7 @ 8:09 AM EDT
    A4: I find that I need to be a risk-taker myself. I attempt to do whatever I'm asking students to do, and show all of my thinking. It's also about the relationships and trust you build with kids. They should know that you support them, and that you are a learner too. #satchat

    But even the typical high-achieving students are pushing back, b/c they've been conditioned to think that success = high grades. So if they are asked to direct learning, they are opening themselves up to the possibility of failure, which could be reflected in a grade. #satchat

    A6 Students can pass without doing the work, if “passing” only entails showing what they know. But is the point of taking a class to acquire knowledge & achieve a grade? Or is it to collaborate, ask questions, connect ideas, take creative risks, and build a community? #satchat

    Q6. In a perfect world? Absolutely. If the only thing being graded = transfer skills aligned w/ standards, then the only thing that should matter = student’s ability to demonstrate those skills. Sadly, far too many schools conflate “compliance” w/ “content” for a grade. #satchat

    A6: It's a mindset thing. If "classwork" isn't all about helping each student develop their own custom path to grow and learn so that they ultimately demonstrate depth of knowledge, it's a waste of my time and theirs. The only thing I "grade" is DOK of learning targets. #satchat
  • supervxn Apr 7 @ 8:22 AM EDT
    A6: YES! The classwork is just one method of learning. If it isn't personalized and the S learned another way, why not? #satchat
  • chrisclinewcps Apr 7 @ 8:22 AM EDT
    Exactly. Do we reward Ss who "do" school well? Do we penalize Ss who don't play the game of school well? Great thoughts Jacquelyn, thank you. #satchat
    • MsJWhiting Apr 7 @ 8:19 AM EDT
      A6: Instead of "passing the class," think of it as earning credit; mastery of the outcomes becomes the benchmark, not task completion. Passing is a minimum number assigned to a task; credit is earned through growth & learning #satchat

  • 2Devine16 Apr 7 @ 8:22 AM EDT
    A6: That’s a tough one, I think they could possibly pass the class, but if our assessments are meaningful and purposeful I don’t think they’re fully demonstrating that they “get it” by not doing all the class work. We need concrete evidence to grade them. #satchat

    Q6- Ts need to figure out why/how the Ss only did some work, but still learned. Was the work not engaging or necessary? Was it a certain type of work the S avoided? If the S can show understanding & transfer of knowledge, I think that's enough. All Ss learn differently. #satchat
  • MrTravisDrake Apr 7 @ 8:23 AM EDT

    A6. Depends on the relevance of the classwork. If it's the same, assignment based system that grades students based on what they write on a piece of paper, students should pass if they demonstrate what they've learned. #satchat
    In reply to @chrisclinewcps
  • engineerteacher Apr 7 @ 8:24 AM EDT
    Indeed! If I'm not failing in front of students on a routine basis and then learning from those mistakes side-by-side the students, then I'm not only growing, but I'm also reinforcing the misguided idea that failure is bad. #satchat

    A6 | We R looking at this improperly. Schools or mini schools within schools set their own criteria. E.G. Mixed age classrooms with no grade, college prep electives, service component, etc. Kids w/ choices deserve institutions offering multiple routes. #satchat

    You can use @Triventy It's a collaborative quiz making app. All Ss submit their questions to the same quiz. #satchat

    A6 this one is hard and I think in some ways is tied to the cultures of the school and classroom. #satchat
    • chrisclinewcps Apr 7 @ 8:18 AM EDT
      Q6/FQ: Can students pass a class if they demonstrated they learned the material but did not complete all the classwork? Why or why not? #satchat

    Kids will take you with them if you let them lead- I had a Ss do a project on the Las Vegas shooting and the importance of blood banking and donors leading her to a study Charles R. Drew and African American doctors in early 20th C. #satchat

    A6 see this a ton in art - naturally gifted student doesn’t do the prep work but produces the most amazing final piece. Having grades applied to all areas of the lesson ensures that value is placed on prep work, but doesn’t mean they won’t pass for skipping bc of %. #satchat
  • MsSalvac Apr 7 @ 8:29 AM EDT

    Thanks again #satchat PLN for a great discussion this morning! Weird, all the talk about engagement & authentic learning AND not 1 mention of how important low-level WORKSHEETS are to the development of deep learning & understanding! Have a great week.
  • HERprincipal Apr 7 @ 8:29 AM EDT
    A5: Assessments can be authentic. Yesterday, I received a stack of persuasive essays from a class claiming why the class needed 5 more chromebooks! #satchat
