@RESP3CTtheGAME I asked Ss this yr to crowd-source study guides. Fascinating S pushback re: "Just tell us what to learn." #hacklearning

MrDataGuy May 29 @ 8:56 AM EDT

A3 The grading process must reflect/inform the learning process, and support the student as a learner. Too often disconnected #hacklearning

polonerd May 29 @ 8:56 AM EDT

@EdTechDash And so many Ts will complain about those comments, but they don't hand the grading to the Ss either. #HackLearning

mssackstein - Moderator May 29 @ 8:56 AM EDT

Are you tired of grading student work because it doesn't adequately communicate learning? #TTOG - https://t.co/XTl7X3ARH6 #hacklearning

A3: Ss should be involved in the content, process, products, goals, evaluations - every part! #HackLearning

@teachlib I love single col rubrics. More possibilities at the upper end 4 Ss to extend beyond us #Hacklearning

A3 When students are part of the process they buy into the process ... #hacklearning

fisher1000 May 29 @ 8:57 AM EDT

A3: If students involved in grading process, particularly if beyond just summative, learning becomes focal pnt, not grade. #HackLearning

I am so w you #HackLearning we should be assessing & making instructional decisions minute by minute #HackLearning https://t.co/WpAq6RcKMb

janeinjava May 29 @ 8:54 AM EDT

Assessment is only useful when it informs the learner so they can learn from it. Why is it done mostly at the end of a unit? #HackLearning

@mssackstein You are so right. Is it about what Ss learn or about checking off a letter to be "done?" #HackLearning

MrPChick May 29 @ 8:57 AM EDT

A3: Ss need to know about their learning process, reflect on their learning, know their strengths, own their progress #hacklearning

teachlib May 29 @ 8:57 AM EDT

I don't put a mark on rubrics the 1st time I hand them back. Chance to improve work. #HackLearning

teddygriffin01 May 29 @ 8:57 AM EDT

A2 Attempt to use success criteria but with many subject & many criteria becomes cumbersome and hard to manage esp for stds #HackLearning

DerekRhodenizer May 29 @ 8:57 AM EDT

@DennisDill when the process belongs to the students they don't need to buy in, because there is ownership #HackLearning

@markbarnes19 @msfrenchteach maybe it should be based on attendance, no referrals, and citizenship instead of grades #hacklearning

millerpEDU May 29 @ 8:58 AM EDT

A3 Student learning motivated by a grade is artificial. Self reflection and feedback make learning iterative and meaningful. #hacklearning

mssackstein - Moderator May 29 @ 8:58 AM EDT

@JanineCaffrey It was a valiant effort this year... #deafears #hacklearning

EdTechDash May 29 @ 8:58 AM EDT

Would love to start a regular meeting time with Ss to discuss and reflect on learning. 46 min classes are tough #goals #hacklearning

@millerpEDU Agree. How can I memorize this to get an A for today. #hacklearning

@AustinELA8 @mssackstein we can't have the same set of expectations for both ... someone will get left behind. #hacklearning

We can't do student centered classrooms unless Ss are involved in EVERY step of the process. Very difficult to change mindset #HackLearning

mssackstein - Moderator May 29 @ 8:59 AM EDT

.@tlightrlc every child can... We just need to figure out what it is with them. The grade means nothing #hacklearning

MrDataGuy May 29 @ 8:59 AM EDT

@KRScienceLady and making the learning and progress visible to the learner. Showing them YES I can do this. #hacklearning

JanetChowMSc May 29 @ 8:59 AM EDT

@EdTechDash Spend the first 10 or the last 10 on it. If you value it you'll get it in there #hacklearning

brianrozinsky May 29 @ 8:59 AM EDT

@EdTechDash a great reason to rethink the traditional school day #hacklearning

msfrenchteach May 29 @ 8:59 AM EDT

@AustinELA8 @markbarnes19 #hacklearning That wouldn't be any more "comfortable." Many variables & still a system where one can't reach goal.
