A2: The best support you can give for CBL is to start with a strong PLC model from @SolutionTree that empowers teachers #PrinLeaderChat

jvanderels Nov 5 @ 9:14 PM EST

A2: Be resolute. Support teachers, and make decisions based on what’s best for kids. #PrinLeaderChat

winstonsakurai - Moderator Nov 5 @ 9:15 PM EST

A2 Ensure faculty buy-in by discussing challenges and obstacles they see and ask how you can support. #PrinLeaderChat

briley8557 Nov 5 @ 9:15 PM EST

#PrinLeaderChat A1 There so many reasons why CBL, we call it PBL in our dist, is important to our Ss. Def makes the learning transparent.

bstackbu Nov 5 @ 9:15 PM EST

Q3: How does/will CBL change assessment, and how do you assess for mastery? #PrinLeaderChat

jvanderels Nov 5 @ 9:17 PM EST

PLCs are the foundation for this work. 4 critical questions can guide the work of collaborative teams. #atplc #PrinLeaderChat @bstackbu

bethhill2829 Nov 5 @ 9:18 PM EST

A3: I see assessment being more formative throughout, rather than summative to "end" one thing and move to another. #PrinLeaderChat

D_m_Brandon Nov 5 @ 9:18 PM EST

A3. you are constantly gathering evidence of learning and in various formats. May not always be on paper #PrinLeaderChat

briley8557 Nov 5 @ 9:19 PM EST

#PrinLeaderChat A2 Expect failure, in fact embrace the failures. Make sure your staff understands that not every lesson will work.

bethhill2829 Nov 5 @ 9:19 PM EST

Great point! Observation, performance, application to other content, etc. #PrinLeaderChat

bernasconi_edu Nov 5 @ 9:19 PM EST

A3 Assessment must be authentic application. Show what you can do not memorize! Museum curators not data processors. #PrinLeaderChat

briley8557 Nov 5 @ 9:19 PM EST

#PrinLeaderChat A2 what better way to model for our Ss than to show that we con't have all of the answers.

jvanderels Nov 5 @ 9:20 PM EST

Absolutely @bernasconi_edu - Adult Learning = Student Learning. #PrinLeaderChat

A3 Assessments can identify specific strengths and growth areas that can then focus future student learning. #PrinLeaderChat

bpeery11 Nov 5 @ 9:20 PM EST

A3. I’m new to cbl. Can Student self assessment be part of it? #PrinLeaderChat

bstackbu Nov 5 @ 9:21 PM EST

A3: Shift to quality performance assessments tuned to depth of knowledge. @CCEBoston does this: https://t.co/H01VOguHdV #PrinLeaderChat

DuffysClassroom Nov 5 @ 9:21 PM EST

Yes! Curating learning…love it. #PrinLeaderChat

In reply to @bernasconi_edu

LFKerz Nov 5 @ 9:21 PM EST

A1: placing emphasis and focus on student thinking above outcomes #PrinLeaderChat

jvanderels Nov 5 @ 9:22 PM EST

A3: Performance Assessments are crucial. These were the levers for change in our school. @CCEBOSTON has great resources. #PrinLeaderChat

LFKerz Nov 5 @ 9:22 PM EST

A2: looking at learning along a continuum rather than one summative moment; must model the learner mentality #PrinLeaderChat

briley8557 Nov 5 @ 9:22 PM EST

#PrinLeaderChat I believe that it is critical that assessment NOT be teacher centric! The audience for our Ss is critical.

bstackbu Nov 5 @ 9:23 PM EST

A3: In my school @SanbornRegHS, CBL led to small group projects & learning, and devt of collaborative interpersonal skills. #PrinLeaderChat

bstackbu Nov 5 @ 9:23 PM EST

Q4: How do/will grading practices change at the classroom and school level with CBL? #PrinLeaderChat

bethhill2829 Nov 5 @ 9:24 PM EST

Q4: Grades should transition to Progress on learner expectations, not based on individual assignments to form an average. #PrinLeaderChat

A4: We developed a daily flexible learning period with @enrichstudents software to help us find time for reassessment. #PrinLeaderChat

DuffysClassroom Nov 5 @ 9:26 PM EST

A4: Failure isn’t terminal. It’s a step on the journey. Kids are motivated by learning rather than the letter attached to it #PrinLeaderChat

D_m_Brandon Nov 5 @ 9:26 PM EST

In our school we have 3 year old sts who are reflecting on their learning and graphing it with teachers. Pretty neat to see #PrinLeaderChat

LFKerz Nov 5 @ 9:26 PM EST

A3: how might we teach Ss to self-assess progress & analyze ability to transfer knowledge in innovative, authentic ways #PrinLeaderChat

bstackbu Nov 5 @ 9:26 PM EST

A4: We need grades to represent what students LEARN, not what they EARN! #PrinLeaderChat

jvanderels Nov 5 @ 9:26 PM EST

A4: Separation of academics and behaviors. Both are critically important, but they shouldn’t be combined in grading. #PrinLeaderChat

bpeery11 Nov 5 @ 9:27 PM EST

A4. We are pushing for grades to be a direct indicator of what a student has learned. All other go to a citizenship grade. #PrinLeaderChat

DrJohnsonSAHS Nov 5 @ 9:27 PM EST

A4: Teaches resilliancy and grit for students as well! #PrinLeaderChat

LFKerz Nov 5 @ 9:29 PM EST

A4: maybe a model of feedback - i.e. To what extent do Ss implement feedback as responsibility is released to them? #PrinLeaderChat

Mahalo for joining us for #PrinLeaderChat. Special thanks to @bstackbu! Join us next week with guest @DrJohnsonSAHS

bernasconi_edu Nov 5 @ 9:30 PM EST

A4 Grading practices must change to keep the focus on St learning. Grades as extrinsic motivators are in direct opposition #PrinLeaderChat
