Let the Ps still see data and growth, but attach a grade only when mastery is met. Allow them to understand growth mindset. #formativechat

A1: Are the outcomes & criteria for success clear? #formativechat

Hey Ann! #formativechat

A1:Can Ss have the opportunity to fix mistakes and relearn content? Give the Ss a time to reflect. #formativechat

How do we show them the data and growth if there are no grades? That’s a question that has been asked me to me by Ps. #formativechat

In reply to @LScumpieru

TechieTeachOtt Jul 31 @ 7:42 PM EDT

A1 Be flexible in how quickly Ss progress through the PBL. If formative results say they need more time, give it to them! #formativechat

rowens1 Jul 31 @ 7:43 PM EDT

A1: Also - give Ss an opportunity to brainstorm what they think they need to know, do,& have available to be successful. #formativechat

I love that PBL allows Ss to demonstrate their knowledge and skills in a variety of ways. #formativechat

A1 Because there are many different approaches to PBL there will not be one "correct" answer #formativechat

kispypniko Jul 31 @ 7:44 PM EDT

A1 FA should always validate Ss learning, enable them to recognize where they're and enable them to recognize what to do next #formativechat

SusZanti5 Jul 31 @ 7:44 PM EDT

Have Ss help create the formatives they want to use as checkpoints along the way as they journey through PBL #formativechat

davidwkwan - Moderator Jul 31 @ 7:44 PM EDT

Q2! Do certain formative assessment strategies work particularly well with PBL?Why? #formativechat

LScumpieru Jul 31 @ 7:45 PM EDT

A2: Yes, because of the nature of PBL. It is Ss working at their own pace so many strategies I use mirror that thinking. #formativechat

Stella_Pollard Jul 31 @ 7:45 PM EDT

Good point! But there are Ps out there who only care about their Ss getting the highest GPA. #formativechat

I say "grades for the gradebook" come with proficiency or at various benchmarks. Redos are prevalent though. 😬#formativechat

In reply to @Stella_Pollard, @LScumpieru

kncaton Jul 31 @ 7:46 PM EDT

A2. I like to offer choices as to how to present final product. Work to create objective rubrics to make expectations clear #formativechat

SusZanti5 Jul 31 @ 7:46 PM EDT

A2: Utilize inquiry as formative assessments that help Ss determine the what if...how can we..did we get there & what's next! #formativechat

Totally! Preparing to be flexible with data and instruction is a huge part of it! #formativechat

A2: Conferences! I also like content elevator pitches. 90 seconds to update me and classmates on research/progress of project #formativechat

Yes. I think that would be interesting to see how Ss build them as well. #formativechat

DMooreSpanish Jul 31 @ 7:56 PM EDT

A3 someone said b4 to have them create their own formatives. awesome idea! #formativechat

Stella_Pollard Jul 31 @ 7:57 PM EDT

True. I just wouldn’t have a buy in from Ts either. I think that’s what would make it so difficult to go w/less grades here. #formativechat

A3: Give Ss options for reflection tools.Ss could reflect on #flipgrid, while others could blog, or share goals on Padlet #formativechat

We still do student-led conferences in the fall. Parents seem to love it! #formativechat

A3: S created FA; variety of FA choices, Ss discuss what they did and/or what they would do different to improve their work. #formativechat

Since you use #goformative, you could have Ps login to their Ss accounts. You could set "office hours" when scores are shown #formativechat

Grades vs. feedback is a huge mindset shift #formativechat

FA can be used as an update to the class on progress with their pbl and giving them a public forum to showcase learning #formativechat

Stella_Pollard Jul 31 @ 7:59 PM EDT

That is an awesome idea. But we live in a rural area where large pieces of our area do not have internet access. #formativechat

A3. Set goals and reflect wo the stigma of grades = more S centered. #formativechat

Do they have a phone? Cellular data? @Flipgrid is an app on my phone. #formativechat

I think feedback may function the same way, but other aspects of FA may change depending on what works well for project #formativechat

In reply to @paulsteffan

davidwkwan - Moderator Jul 31 @ 8:10 PM EDT

For ex. , the level to which you activate Ss as resources for one another may change depending on project and proficiency #formativechat
