There are amazing reference charts, I call them the purple charts. #bookcamppd

Stella_Pollard Aug 26 @ 9:07 AM EDT

A1: Grading makes the task feel final when completed, feedback encourages us to think and grow to reach our fullest potential. #bookcamppd

bgriffinteach Aug 26 @ 9:07 AM EDT

A1: Grading means there is no way to improve. Feedback allows Ss to made adjustments to the work to show growth. #BookCampPD

Exactly! #bookcamppd

That is what we want, them to take our feedback and grow as writers. #bookcamppd

In reply to @bgriffinteach

educatorhock Aug 26 @ 9:07 AM EDT

Feedback is given to the writer throughout the writing process. Grading is the final product after conferencing with the writer. #bookcamppd

teresagross625 Aug 26 @ 9:08 AM EDT

A1: "Grades do not cause learning but can be an acknowledgement of learning." (pg.29) #bookcamppd

pmgmcgee Aug 26 @ 9:08 AM EDT

A1: So glad you are asking this question. I have to be totally honest, the grading chapter was the hardes for me to write. #BookcampPD

teresagross625 Aug 26 @ 9:08 AM EDT

Yes! So important during the writing piece. #bookcamppd Want them to feel success!

Love this response .. a constant work in progress. #BookCampPD

In reply to @Stella_Pollard

ShelfieTalk Aug 26 @ 9:08 AM EDT

A1 Grading is a judgement, an evaluation. Feedback is a conversation about how the work is going and where it can go next. #bookcamppd

TamiJ123 Aug 26 @ 9:08 AM EDT

A1) Feedback describes what the S is doing well & where he/she can improve. Grades put a # or letter value w/out much info. #bookcamppd

teresagross625 Aug 26 @ 9:08 AM EDT

That is one of my favorite chapters! SO much good insight and ideas. #bookcamppd

In reply to @pmgmcgee

Love the growth mindset in your response. #BookCampPD

In reply to @bgriffinteach

TamiJ123 Aug 26 @ 9:09 AM EDT

A1) Feedback is also more what you would get from a coach.This happens "during the practice" so the S improves. Grades r @ end. #bookcamppd

teresagross625 Aug 26 @ 9:09 AM EDT

I like the idea of conversation. So true! #bookcamppd

In reply to @ShelfieTalk

tolbertplant Aug 26 @ 9:09 AM EDT

A1 Grading is more summative, whereas feedback is more formative. Grading also is judgment... necessary evil IMO #bookcamppd

teresagross625 Aug 26 @ 9:09 AM EDT

Yes! Like a temperature check. #bookcamppd

In reply to @TamiJ123

ElemCoach Aug 26 @ 9:09 AM EDT

A1 grading is a numerical or letter assessment of Ss work. Feedback is an observation you want the Ss to reflect on & integrate #BookCampPD

pmgmcgee Aug 26 @ 9:09 AM EDT

A1P2: I think grades can do a number on writers. As Ts we feel conflicted. Obligated to grade but not sure grades help. #BookcampPD

teresagross625 Aug 26 @ 9:09 AM EDT

We can learn a lot from sports coaches. Listening to them give feedback to athletes. #bookcamppd

In reply to @TamiJ123

I would argue that grading isn't necessary, except we've set up our system that way. #bookcamppd

In reply to @tolbertplant

A1: feedback coincides w/ instruction while grading may stop instruc. completely for assessment. #bookcamppd

A1: Grading evaluates a S task. Feedback highlights Ss strengths, goals, it helps writing growth and progress. #bookcamppd

teresagross625 Aug 26 @ 9:11 AM EDT

A1: I confer and provide feedback consistently throughout writing. #bookcamppd

teresagross625 Aug 26 @ 9:11 AM EDT

Exactly. I agree 100%. I like the word you used "integraded". #bookcamppd

In reply to @pmgmcgee

pmgmcgee Aug 26 @ 9:11 AM EDT

A1: Feedback is writer centered. We think about what the writer wants to voice and we support that. #BookcampPD

Yes, a necessary evil that doesn't improve but sometimes deflates the effort. #bookcamppd

providing sufficient, usable feedback for S can be completely overwhelming... esp if you don't know where 2start #bookcamppd

A2 tone is how an author feels about the topic. Word choice is important bc you want the right words to convey your feelings #BookCampPD

@pmgmcgee For content area writing, do you prioritize feedback that focuses on mechanics, style, clarity, message,... etc.? #bookcamppd

teresagross625 Aug 26 @ 9:22 AM EDT

Yes! There are so many resources that can help us with this! #bookcamppd

A2 So important. No body leanguage makes it hard to interpret. So we have to show through thougfhtful responses as examples #bookcamppd

WOW! What a group today! LOVING this conversation! Writing is such a passion of mine! #bookcamppd

Hahne_Elyse Aug 26 @ 9:23 AM EDT

A2 We can't set ourselves apart. Students must see us set goals and write to continue on their journey. #bookcamppd

teresagross625 Aug 26 @ 9:23 AM EDT

That's a great question! #bookcamppd

I always am careful about crossing my arms, if I do accidentally it's because I am cold and I share that with the Ss. #bookcamppd

A3. Have you ever surveyed students to learn their thoughts about how they would best like to receive feedback? #BookCampPD

CathyFiebs Aug 26 @ 9:23 AM EDT

A1: Feedback building on strengths honors the writer & process, encourages risk-taking & growth. Grading can be destructive. #bookcamppd

teresagross625 Aug 26 @ 9:24 AM EDT

I do set goals and write with them. I never show a finished product. I share the process with them. #bookcamppd

My Ss love when I put a little post-it note on their pieces. LOL I won't write on them without permission. #bookcamppd

A3: Lots of Ss expressed the need for less distractions while writing. Is there dedicated, quiet writing in your class? #bookcamppd

I never write on the final product. They worked so hard to get there. I write on the rough draft with permission. #bookcamppd

Everything is digital now, we are 1:1 Chromebooks. I print off a copy, but never write on them either. Attach a rubric to it. #bookcamppd

Ladies, do you model writing the same assignments that they do? #bookcamppd
