    A1 - Since we want to know what each individual Learner knows, we do not include group work in a grade. #TooHardToDiscern #sblchat
  • RoweRikW Sep 27 @ 9:08 PM EDT
    @kirk_humphreys Always great to see you Kirk!! #sblchat
  • CoachLesterBHS Sep 27 @ 9:08 PM EDT
    A1- Can't tell who knows what. Collaboration and teamwork is a crucial part of my classroom, but on assessment day Ss work alone. #sblchat

      Q1 In a SBL environment, we don’t include group work in a grade. Why not? #sblchat
  • _Ashley_Torres Sep 27 @ 9:08 PM EDT
    A1: the ability, or inability, to work with a group does not reflect understanding of content. Group work isn't a common strength #sblchat
  • BrittanyRNelson Sep 27 @ 9:08 PM EDT
    A1: Many students learn from each other but at some point learning has to be shown by the student and not the group! #sblchat

    A1: Grades are a reflection of where an individual student is in their journey to mastery - this isn't reflected in gw #sblchat
  • KatieBudrow Sep 27 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    A1 We need to know what each individual student has learned. Group work muddies the water too much. #sblchat
  • MsJdickinson Sep 27 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    A1: Learning is individual, pacing in individual, not a group effort. You cannot assess the learning as a group. #sblchat
  • BrittanyRNelson Sep 27 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    A1: Although I do think the act of listening to a S teach a standard to another S speaks volume for their knowledge! #sblchat
  • KarlBaresel Sep 27 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    A1 SBL is all about the student's current level of learning. A group score cannot appropriately assess a single individual. #sblchat
  • ehaan308 Sep 27 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    A1: In a group environment it is difficult to discern which S(s) actually showed growth on the standard(s) and which did not. #sblchat
  • KarlBaresel Sep 27 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    A1 The group work might be the formative assessment. The summative assessment must show what the individual can do. #sblchat
  • KatieBudrow Sep 27 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    Totally does. I tell my learners they don't really know it until they can teach it. #sblchat
    In reply to @BrittanyRNelson
  • bbbullis Sep 27 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    A1 Group work can be a powerful means to an end when it comes to learning, but cannot entirely discern individual growth. #sblchat
  • kirk_humphreys Sep 27 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    A1:group work is not an indicator of individual progress towards meeting a standard and cannot be assessed for individual work. #sblchat

    A1: Grade shld indicate individual student's progress toward standards mastery. Group work isn't usually just about the individual #sblchat
  • KatieBudrow Sep 27 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    I like that thinking. :) #SBLchat

  • RoweRikW Sep 27 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    I like thinking...period! #sblchat
  • MathJunkie4 Sep 27 @ 9:11 PM EDT

  • kenmattingly Sep 27 @ 9:15 PM EDT
    Yes, and make success criteria clear to students. This type of standard requires lots of models/examples for clarification for Ss #sblchat
    In reply to @MrHallihan
  • DrMarianaAdame Sep 27 @ 9:15 PM EDT
    A1. Perhaps because we want to measure the individual growth. Nevertheless, group work is an amazing strategy #sblchat

      A1 Collective grades for group work teaches students to hate working with others, #sblchat
  • KarlBaresel Sep 27 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    A1 It breaks my heart when students say that they hating working with others. Life is all about working with others. #sblchat
  • KatieBudrow Sep 27 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    Truth. #sblchat
    • KarlBaresel Sep 27 @ 9:15 PM EDT
      A1 Collective grades for group work teaches students to hate working with others, #sblchat
  • RoweRikW Sep 27 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    Question #2 is hot off the press! #sblchat
  • CoachLesterBHS Sep 27 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    This. It turns group projects into a free for all. No way to adequately police or assess who does/knows what. #sblchat

      A1 Collective grades for group work teaches students to hate working with others, #sblchat

      A1 It breaks my heart when students say that they hating working with others. Life is all about working with others. #sblchat
  • RoweRikW Sep 27 @ 9:17 PM EDT
    A2 - Since we want our Learners to take #Ownership of their Learning, we do not assign roles. We empower them to evolve! #sblchat
  • DrMarianaAdame Sep 27 @ 9:17 PM EDT
    A2. Depending on the skill I want the SS tu work on and the benefit they will get from it. #sblchat
  • BrittanyRNelson Sep 27 @ 9:17 PM EDT
    Kids are having to TALK about the math in front of them. It forces retention while also teaching them HOW to work with others! #sblchat
    • RoweRikW Sep 27 @ 9:14 PM EDT
      Tonight in #sblchat, put yourself in the seat of your Learners. How does Collaborative Learning generate graeter retention?
  • CoachLesterBHS Sep 27 @ 9:17 PM EDT
    A2- Not in my classes, but see the value at lower levels. Giving feedback about effective group work is more powerful than roles. #sblchat
  • KatieBudrow Sep 27 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    A2 Nope. They always seem so inauthentic to me. Also can box Ss in too much, and their skill set could be needed elsewhere. #sblchat
  • KatieBudrow Sep 27 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    Agreed. So instead of forcing it, I try to let it happen naturally. And praise like crazy when they do it. :) #SBLchat

  • bbbullis Sep 27 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    Q2 Absolutely to "providing" roles, not necessarily "assigning" them. S input into their active involvement can be powerful. #sblchat
  • kenmattingly Sep 27 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    A2: Assigned roles can help all Ss get chances to learn/grow. There can be times S choice,but too much risks some Ss being left out #sblchat
  • CoachLesterBHS Sep 27 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    I use a car analogy, sometimes you are the driver, others passenger seat, others back seat. Depending on where you are in learning. #sblchat
    In reply to @RoweRikW
  • MsJdickinson Sep 27 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    A2: Not always. Depends on the situation. If the students need more structure and organization, then I assign roles. #sblchat
  • MathJunkie4 Sep 27 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    A2: I would assign roles to strengthen S weaknesses. Throughout the course I would make sure each S participates in each role #sblchat
  • BrittanyRNelson Sep 27 @ 9:19 PM EDT
    A2: No. I just feel it puts them in a box of one role when they could take on many! They aren't getting the full learning value. #sblchat
  • RoweRikW Sep 27 @ 9:19 PM EDT
    More ownership when they drive it, right Brian? #sblchat

    A2: Depends on the task and the readiness of the class for self assignment, and if they know their strengths, and and and and #sblchat
  • _Ashley_Torres Sep 27 @ 9:19 PM EDT
    A2: Don't normally assign roles. Letting Ss pick lets them be comfortable/empowered in their role. Then working more efficiently #sblchat
  • MrHallihan Sep 27 @ 9:19 PM EDT
    A2: If roles are assigned, I would allow Ss in group to determine the roles each student takes on. T may have to determine groups. #sblchat
  • kirk_humphreys Sep 27 @ 9:19 PM EDT
    A2: Personally I would not assign roles. I want learning to be authentic. The more I intervene the less authentic it is. #sblchat
  • KarlBaresel Sep 27 @ 9:19 PM EDT
    A2 Everything in moderation. I sometimes assign roles, sometimes let them choose, sometimes have no roles. #sblchat
  • RoweRikW Sep 27 @ 9:19 PM EDT
    We're on a roll now! #sblchat

    A2 Roles for group work provides scaffold, when necessary! Assign as needed, but the learning occurs when planning and executing. #sblchat

    Cool idea. #sblchat
    In reply to @MrHallihan
  • BrittanyRNelson Sep 27 @ 9:20 PM EDT

  • bbbullis Sep 27 @ 9:20 PM EDT
    Absolutely. Don't force into boxes. They often know where their talents and passions lie. #sblchat

    In reply to @BrittanyRNelson
  • lisa_westman Sep 27 @ 9:21 PM EDT
    A2: Contrary to popular belief, group work is not synonymous w/cooperative learning. To ensure all students in a group benefit from learning activities, all group members must have equal and active participation and opportunities to learn. #sblchat
  • RoweRikW Sep 27 @ 9:21 PM EDT

    A6 It is self-serving, but when Ss see how collaboration can promote their own growth they are further drawn to it as well. #sblchat
