Interested in student-driven classrooms? Join Dr. Nancy Sulla @nsulla (author of Students Taking Charge, Its Not What You Teach But How, Building Executive Function: The Missing Link to Student Achievement, and more) and educators from all over in #LATICchat on Thursday nights at 8pm ET. We hope to bring together a community of educators to share insights, stories, examples, pictures from their classrooms, and more. We welcome all educators to join; no need to be running a #LATIC classroom.
A6: I love to ask questions that require synthesis and metacognition: What connections do you see between x and y? Which strategy do you feel is best? WHY? #LATICchat
A5 using formal and informal assessments periodically throughout the ALU allows me to see where S’s are and what Benchmarks might be needed to inspire or direct them and SGML’s to build or expand needed skills #LATICchat
A6 qualitative questions that reflect the Rubric are key. Also Q’s that push decisions and solutions back to the S. Empower through questioning! #LATICchat
A7: our rubrics have check boxes in each row/column aligning to the task. We usually have a peer edit activity requiring the use of the rubric to check progress. I’ve also pulled SGML with students who need support marking the rubric #LATICchat
A7-As you facilitate utilize the rubric in your discussions with the students. Also putting it on the activity list as an activity can help to ensure Ss are engaging with it. #LATICchat@IDECorp
A8 Good facilitation and open ended questions and tasks as well as open ended expectations all allow S's to strive and thrive towards mastery of standards and success on the rubric. #LATICchat
Open-ended expectations... like leaving a row of the expert column blank for students to determine and share with the teacher how they will go beyond practitioner? #LATICchat
A8-Having a balance of independent and partner/group activities is so important. Also having ongoing strategically placed formative assessments will be so informative. #LATICchat@IDECorp
