@hoffmanteambret Awesome to have you Brett & we small potatoes here at #ankedchat -

Mr_Lisek Oct 20 @ 9:06 PM EDT

A1: Only grade assessment of Ss learning. If it's practice or collaborative learning items, feedback only. #ankedchat

MrsReadout Oct 20 @ 9:06 PM EDT

A1: #SBG makes it easy to decide what to grade. We only report assessment on standards and when a majority of Ss have mastered. #ankedchat

ScotSoups Oct 20 @ 9:06 PM EDT

Scot Surprenant DMPS instructional tech coordinator checking in but Beery very distracted #ankedchat https://t.co/phENgYb8zu

A1 Our summatives are performances in lessons every 6 weeks. Demonstrating several standards at once after several formatives. #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:06 PM EDT

@hoffmanteambret Welcome Brett! Glad to have you. #ankedchat Size doesn't matter BTW - Edupassion does.

DRich0696 - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:07 PM EDT

A1: If it measures the standard and Ss have had proper instruction and practice and data shows they're ready then grade it. #ankedchat

SarahWessling Oct 20 @ 9:07 PM EDT

@Mr_Lisek Really helpful practice! How does it impact students, do you think? #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:07 PM EDT

@ScotSoups Welcome Scot! #ankedchat

chemelnalic Oct 20 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1: When I first taught, I used to grade EVERYTHING!!! Then I realized that a few grades when Ss are confident is better measure! #ankedchat

SarahWessling Oct 20 @ 9:08 PM EDT

@MrsReadout Yes! I can see what you mean. #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:08 PM EDT

@BurtonHable Any chance to reassess? Tough in your field. #ankedchat

hoffmanteambret Oct 20 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1 Grade only after S's have had enough "touches" on the goal info. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1: Unfortunately, we grade when our curr tells us to grade - at the end of a unit...would prefer more fluidity with standards. #ankedchat

BurtonHable Oct 20 @ 9:09 PM EDT

@DRich0696 Ss have 2 show work on supporting skills: scales, patterns, etc. Reassess through recording. Agreed, it is still tough #ankedchat

SarahWessling Oct 20 @ 9:09 PM EDT

@DRich0696 Yes, I can see how SBG is helping your district! #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:09 PM EDT

@chemelnalic Right?? The more points available, the more chance for success?? That's how I felt too. #ankedchat

Mr_Lisek Oct 20 @ 9:10 PM EDT

@SarahWessling Ss recognize that trial and error don't destroy their overall standing. Ss buy in and work harder on assignments. #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:10 PM EDT

@hoffmanteambret I like that terminology #ankedchat

hoffmanteambret Oct 20 @ 9:10 PM EDT

Ditto here! Then refocused. Amaze how persp changed after stop homework grades! #ankedchat https://t.co/wVmIdr8Q06

chemelnalic Oct 20 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1: When I first taught, I used to grade EVERYTHING!!! Then I realized that a few grades when Ss are confident is better measure! #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:10 PM EDT

@englelaura yes, please!! #ankedchat

SarahWessling Oct 20 @ 9:10 PM EDT

@chemelnalic Me too!! Sometimes I think it's still tough to walk this line. #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@hoffmanteambret Same! #ankedchat

SarahWessling Oct 20 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@PeaceLoveMHeine Do the units end at certain times then? A specific pace? #ankedchat

chemelnalic Oct 20 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@PeaceLoveMHeine Absolutely! Then I realized I had it wrong!!! LotS of time spent grading warm-ups! What was I thinking?! #ankedchat

Mr_Lisek Oct 20 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@PeaceLoveMHeine Is it possible to break the unit into different performance tasks and assess Ss learning in smaller chunks? #ankedchat

hoffmanteambret Oct 20 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@DRich0696 Coach brainset coming through. Big on the 10000 touch theroy. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@SarahWessling Yes - we follow a pacing guide set by the curr - not strictly - but close. #ankedchat

chemelnalic Oct 20 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@hoffmanteambret That is so true! When Ss see assignments and activities as growth opportunities, they enjoy way more! #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:13 PM EDT

@Mr_Lisek Yes - we are doing some of this - we assess every std twice & the 2nd time is separate from other stds - on its own. #ankedchat

SarahWessling Oct 20 @ 9:13 PM EDT

Q2: How does grading impact classroom culture and/or dispositions like growth mindset in both teachers and students? #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:13 PM EDT

@chemelnalic yes me too! HW quizzes of all things!! #ankedchat

Mr_Lisek Oct 20 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@PeaceLoveMHeine What would happen if you flipped that process and did the smaller first, then the summative? #ankedchat

hoffmanteambret Oct 20 @ 9:14 PM EDT

Grade can either shutdown or motivate. But WAAAAY more neg than positive. #ankedchat

chemelnalic Oct 20 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@SarahWessling Totally agree! I mean, I thought homework completion was best indicator of success but realized it's practice! #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A2: If we grade a lot the culture is a feeling of constant pressure instead of a focus on growth. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@Mr_Lisek we do that kind of with formatives - so at least they have a snapshot of their learning before the 1st summative #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@Mr_Lisek but I really like that idea... #ankedchat

MrsReadout Oct 20 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A2: Growth mindset is shut down in classrooms where everything is graded and no chances for retakes or redos. It's a one and done.#ankedchat

SarahWessling Oct 20 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@hoffmanteambret I call it the godfather principle: as soon as they see a grade it's dead to them! #ankedchat

englelaura Oct 20 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A2: Can make or break your culture. Both the way you grade and the way you TALK about grades with students makes a huge impact. #ankedchat

BurtonHable Oct 20 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A2 If I could get rid of summatives and grading, I would! Replace with a culture of constant feedback and growth. #ankedchat

SarahWessling Oct 20 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@chemelnalic I know what you mean. I look to homework to help me figure out what to teach tomorrow. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:16 PM EDT

YES! I loathe the days when I hand back tests... #ankedchat https://t.co/8BWK4NWsHq

SarahWessling Oct 20 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@hoffmanteambret I call it the godfather principle: as soon as they see a grade it's dead to them! #ankedchat

SarahWessling Oct 20 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@DRich0696 Agree! They follow our lead don't they? If we talk about it, they think it's important. #ankedchat

englelaura Oct 20 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@BurtonHable Totally agree #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2 If I could get rid of summatives and grading, I would! Replace with a culture of constant feedback and growth. #ankedchat

Mr_Lisek Oct 20 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2: If grades are seen as fluid, ever changing things related to learning, the culture is amazing. Otherwise, toxic. #ankedchat

SarahWessling Oct 20 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@PeaceLoveMHeine Agree! Yet...a pet peeve of formative is when we treat them as a noun. I prefer formatively assessing, the verb. #ankedchat

chemelnalic Oct 20 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2: Grading makes assessments more formal and serious and evaluative, rather than growth as the primary goal. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@SarahWessling great way to think about that. #ankedchat

chemelnalic Oct 20 @ 9:19 PM EDT

@MrsReadout When warm-ups and quizzes become almost the same weight as summative tests, that's a problem!!! #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A2: We cultivate that #growthmindset when we focus on the learning and not the dreaded G word. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:19 PM EDT

It also I think separates the Ts from the Ss, us vs them mentality instead of all in together. #ankedchat https://t.co/0lbR7Z2P69

chemelnalic Oct 20 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2: Grading makes assessments more formal and serious and evaluative, rather than growth as the primary goal. #ankedchat

chemelnalic Oct 20 @ 9:19 PM EDT

@SarahWessling Definitely! Or even how you can quickly modify your lesson for the day! #ankedchat

BurtonHable Oct 20 @ 9:20 PM EDT

Exactly! What do we care about more? #ankedchat https://t.co/jcWPNSCgbv

A2: We cultivate that #growthmindset when we focus on the learning and not the dreaded G word. #ankedchat

SarahWessling Oct 20 @ 9:20 PM EDT

Q3: So then it seems feedback becomes more important the less we grade. What does "feedback" look like for you? #ankedchat

kirk_humphreys Oct 20 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A2: It depends if you are grading for learning or grading for compliance. Learning should be at the forefront of everything. #ankedchat

chemelnalic Oct 20 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@PeaceLoveMHeine That's a great way of putting it! It goes from a collaborative facilitation of learning to teacher as evaluator. #ankedchat

BurtonHable Oct 20 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A3 Where are you in your progress toward meeting the standard? What can you do to move towards meeting/exceeding? #ankedchat

SarahWessling Oct 20 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@kirk_humphreys I totally agree! Sometimes we accidentally undermine ourselves, don't you think? #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@kirk_humphreys awesome to have you Kirk!! #ankedchat

Mr_Lisek Oct 20 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A3: Feedback must be specific and meaningful. Help Ss see the purpose of the path they took and guide them to success. #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A3: Feedback = written encouragement and specific info about what Ss need to do to improve. Might also be a chat #ankedchat

englelaura Oct 20 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A3: Like so many things! 1 of my fav strategies is to quickly pull examples at all levels to show Ss and let them evaluate w/ me #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:22 PM EDT

@kirk_humphreys Welcome to #ankedchat Kirk

ScotSoups Oct 20 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A2 feel like SS cannot tell you why they have that grade, not a good rep of what they know #ankedchat

chemelnalic Oct 20 @ 9:22 PM EDT

@MrsReadout I kind of worked for points when in school but times are changing! Ss are seeing things differently than Ps and Ts! #ankedchat

SarahWessling Oct 20 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A3: Feedback has changed a lot for me in past 6-7 years. LOTS of it in class as part of productive group work now. #ankedchat

englelaura Oct 20 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@DRich0696 Chats are tough to get to for all Ss, but SO powerful #ankedchat

BurtonHable Oct 20 @ 9:23 PM EDT

Love it! Need to do more of this. We do it as Ts to ensure inter-rater reliability. Get the Ss involved! #ankedchat https://t.co/Sxh3ytcUpi

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A3: Last year I started returning tests with no scores on them - just a feedback page for every prob. #ankedchat

SarahWessling Oct 20 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@ScotSoups I SO agree! When I ask them to reflect, I tell them they can't mention a grade (if one has been attached). #ankedchat

kirk_humphreys Oct 20 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A3:Everything revolves around feedback. I stopped grading EVERYTHING last year except tests and put all of my effort in feedback. #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@englelaura I have made it a goal to use Google Classroom with options and anchor lessons to free up time for F2F convos. #ankedchat

kirk_humphreys Oct 20 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@SarahWessling Completely agree! #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:24 PM EDT

But then of course I had to put something in Infinite Campus...so they'd just look there first... #ankedchat #thestruggleisreal

chemelnalic Oct 20 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@MrsReadout True! That came out differently than I intended!!! #ankedchat

kirk_humphreys Oct 20 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@PeaceLoveMHeine Thanks and sorry I was late. Cubs game is on and that takes priority tonight! Ha #ankedchat

BurtonHable Oct 20 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@DRich0696 Can you elaborate on how you're doing this? Very curious #ankedchat

SarahWessling Oct 20 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@englelaura @DRich0696 Agree! Often combo of written/oral feedback, but I try to catch them before they're too invested to revise #ankedchat

kirk_humphreys Oct 20 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3: I set up my class where students can get feedback from each other rather than me. #ankedchat

BurtonHable Oct 20 @ 9:25 PM EDT

Ugh. Hate that piece of it. Even if what goes in IC is fluid, the fact that it is there makes it "final" #ankedchat https://t.co/BqNecK2hQt

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:24 PM EDT

But then of course I had to put something in Infinite Campus...so they'd just look there first... #ankedchat #thestruggleisreal

ScotSoups Oct 20 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3 feedback has 2 have meaning 2 each Ss so they progress toward standard, meet them where they struggle to facilitate learning #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@kirk_humphreys you're forgiven! just glad you're here - how's your year going? #ankedchat

A4 Continually refining rubrics and using them constantly. Allows for specific, familiar feedback. Opens doors for conversations. #ankedchat

SarahWessling Oct 20 @ 9:28 PM EDT

@DRich0696 Completely agree! Do you explicitly teach Ss how to give feedback to peers? #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@kirk_humphreys I'm getting to teach a few Ss that I had last year now that I'm teaching Geo too - so fun to see growth #ankedchat

kirk_humphreys Oct 20 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@BurtonHable Collaboration is a non-negotiable in my class. I constantly model with students how to critique each other daily. #ankedchat

A4: Well when we stop "grading" all the nonsense - there's more time for feedback. #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@englelaura I used the question function to get feedback too - rated the experience then open-ended too. #ankedchat

@SarahWessling It's unbelieveable how much time it's saved and my Ss still do all the work I give them (even though ungraded) #ankedchat

@SarahWessling We use a peer edit protocol that serves the purpose but it could be better. #ankedchat

A4 all of the above but by creating groups or rotations to meet needs during class #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:32 PM EDT

@TypeAMathLand Yes - I need to do this - it's more out of habit than anything to enter them as I get them done. #ankedchat

SarahWessling Oct 20 @ 9:32 PM EDT

@kirk_humphreys I think you've figured out something I haven't. :) I still study their work to figure out what to teach next. #ankedchat

@DRich0696 I use something called QuickNotes where I give 3 ideas for revision & then peers have to give the specific suggestions #ankedchat

@kirk_humphreys it makes a huge difference when you don't have to worry about checking homework (for a math teacher that is) #ankedchat

Mr_Lisek Oct 20 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A4: I provide rubrics for each standard. Each level has an "I can" attached. Ss self assess and fb focuses on language in rubric. #ankedchat

kirk_humphreys Oct 20 @ 9:33 PM EDT

@SarahWessling I constantly assess them while they work on activities/practice in class I just no longer collect/grade. #ankedchat

@Mr_Lisek Love that "I can" language! It's intrinsically motivating. #ankedchat

I have this happening in Music Fundamentals too. It's awesome when the culture is prevalent in the school #ankedchat https://t.co/2NRB2YGdue

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@kirk_humphreys I actually have Ss who do practice on their own now - even with a no HW policy in my room. #ankedchat

kirk_humphreys Oct 20 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@Mr_Lisek Do you make your own rubrics or do you use a program to make them. I'm always looking for ways to create rubrics. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:37 PM EDT

@kirk_humphreys @Mr_Lisek following this conversation... I'm interested too. #ankedchat

SarahWessling Oct 20 @ 9:37 PM EDT

Q5: How have personal management systems changed with shifting grading philosophies? #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:37 PM EDT

Mr_Lisek Oct 20 @ 9:37 PM EDT

@DRich0696 Ss are always aware of their learning of the target. Makes feedback conversations much more 2way vs. 1 sided. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:38 PM EDT

@DRich0696 when it's their own idea to practice - nothing can stop them. when it's not - nothing can make them. #ankedchat

SarahWessling Oct 20 @ 9:38 PM EDT

@DRich0696 @kirk_humphreys What do you put on the clipboard? I have a friend who has a folder for every student. #ankedchat

englelaura Oct 20 @ 9:38 PM EDT

@DRich0696 Exactly! (It just takes time to shift the culture.) #ankedchat

Mr_Lisek Oct 20 @ 9:39 PM EDT

@kirk_humphreys I make my own. Built around the state power standards for Soc. St. Took plenty quite a bit of time this summer. #ankedchat

ScotSoups Oct 20 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A5 once Ts get Ss to understand targets and goals in own language more personalized learning happens #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:40 PM EDT

@SarahWessling Anecdotal mostly - asking Qs, working with peers, completed work, etc. Ss keep a file folder to track performance. #ankedchat

SarahWessling Oct 20 @ 9:41 PM EDT

@ScotSoups So powerful, that language piece! Do they come up with the language or do you? #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A5: I'm horrible at mgmt - but I'm using @todoist this year and my lists contain nothing about "grading" any more. #ankedchat

SarahWessling Oct 20 @ 9:41 PM EDT

@DRich0696 Me too on the anecdotal! #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:42 PM EDT

A5: Also for Ss - I have a data folder that contains all their formatives & summatives - not in a drawer as a group any more. #ankedchat

SarahWessling Oct 20 @ 9:42 PM EDT

@PeaceLoveMHeine @todoist That must feel liberating!! #ankedchat

BurtonHable Oct 20 @ 9:42 PM EDT

A5 G Suite has made building performance portfolios easy. Distribution, collection, feedback. It can happen so much quicker! #ankedchat

SarahWessling Oct 20 @ 9:43 PM EDT

Q6: How have changes in grading/feedback influenced your instruction? #ankedchat

BurtonHable Oct 20 @ 9:43 PM EDT

Now if only Infinite Campus would catch up! ;) #ankedchat https://t.co/E7zQmuPkCq

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:43 PM EDT

@SarahWessling since the feedback is more on the spot, written or verbal, I don't need large chunks of time - hugely liberating. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:43 PM EDT

Seriously preach this - #ankedchat https://t.co/cO4qpj3hKp

Mr_Lisek Oct 20 @ 9:43 PM EDT

A5: I feel like I collect so much more data to analyze Ss growth. It's useful to present when providing feedback to Ss. #ankedchat

chemelnalic Oct 20 @ 9:43 PM EDT

A5: @chemelnalis is moving to digital evidence of learning on websites and Ss are really taking ownership of learning as growth #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:44 PM EDT

A6: I base my lessons on what I think they need next, not what comes next in the textbook. #ankedchat

SarahWessling Oct 20 @ 9:44 PM EDT

@DRich0696 That's HUGE!! #ankedchat

MrsReadout Oct 20 @ 9:44 PM EDT

A6: So much more focused. Using Ss evidence they provide based upon their work to know where to go next, always focused on goal #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:44 PM EDT

A6: Everything has way more purpose in this environment. Shift to S responsibility. #ankedchat

ScotSoups Oct 20 @ 9:44 PM EDT

@SarahWessling I think that is part of the struggle where our Ts are getting to right now many do such a great job at this! #ankedchat

BurtonHable Oct 20 @ 9:44 PM EDT

A6 I know so much more about my students. Having deeper conversations about their playing and understanding of music. #ankedchat

englelaura Oct 20 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A6: Tough to answer because SO MUCH is different now (and all for good) #ankedchat

Mr_Lisek Oct 20 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A6: Instruction becomes much more individualized because we can truly meet them where they are and move forward t close the gap. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:45 PM EDT

@DRich0696 I know it seems minor - but this is HUGE - like HUMONGOUS! #ankedchat - pardon my capitals...I'm passionate about this.

kirk_humphreys Oct 20 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A6:Over the last 2 yrs I have transformed my class to a growth mindset with SBG. Carol Dweck and Jo Boaler have been inspiration #ankedchat

Mr_Lisek Oct 20 @ 9:46 PM EDT

@DRich0696 Isn't that a great luxury to have? #ankedchat

SarahWessling Oct 20 @ 9:46 PM EDT

@MrsReadout I think this is what formatively assessing is all about. #ankedchat

BurtonHable Oct 20 @ 9:47 PM EDT

A6 Also transformed my PLC. Outstanding 6-12 team passionate about students learning music, responding to what we learn about Ss #ankedchat

SarahWessling Oct 20 @ 9:47 PM EDT

@ScotSoups I've done both: given language, have Ss come up with it. Either way, they're seeing their own arc more clearly. #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:47 PM EDT

@Mr_Lisek Yes - I still have a path, but it's all about growth toward the standard. #ankedchat

SarahWessling Oct 20 @ 9:48 PM EDT

@BurtonHable This must bring you so many more rewards. #ankedchat

SarahWessling Oct 20 @ 9:48 PM EDT

@kirk_humphreys Inspirations indeed! #ankedchat

BurtonHable Oct 20 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@SarahWessling It is a wonderful spiral of growth. So fun to see! #ankedchat

SarahWessling Oct 20 @ 9:49 PM EDT

Q7: Such a rich discussion about rewards of less grading, more feedback! Any drawbacks? #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A7: Getting the PLC on board or just go it alone -... #ankedchat

SarahWessling Oct 20 @ 9:50 PM EDT

@PeaceLoveMHeine The potential isolation... #ankedchat

BurtonHable Oct 20 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A7 Traditional structures, mindsets of Ts Ps and Ss, speed of implementation... #ankedchat

SarahWessling Oct 20 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A7: Some have to fight the myths of fewer grades (e.g. won't be ready for college, etc) #ankedchat

Mr_Lisek Oct 20 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A7: Push back from the "But, we've always done it this way..." crew. Shifting the mindset is difficult, but necessary. #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A7: It's more work - if the teacher does it all. Have to involve Ss in the formative assessing. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:51 PM EDT

@SarahWessling that I can handle - but having to keep everything consistent makes it much more challenging. #ankedchat

SarahWessling Oct 20 @ 9:52 PM EDT

@BurtonHable Change is slow and doesn't happen without a bit of anxiety. #ankedchat

chemelnalic Oct 20 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A7: Parents can't understand this transition to growth because Ss don't get A's or B's. #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:52 PM EDT

@DRich0696 I think I'm ok with the more work - because it's good work. More work for the sake of more work...not so much. #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:52 PM EDT

Always the "But" people - or are they the "Butt" people? #ankedchat https://t.co/YTPy6tssDA

Mr_Lisek Oct 20 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A7: Push back from the "But, we've always done it this way..." crew. Shifting the mindset is difficult, but necessary. #ankedchat

SarahWessling Oct 20 @ 9:52 PM EDT

@PeaceLoveMHeine Absolutely! You're amazing for taking on the challenge! #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:53 PM EDT

@PeaceLoveMHeine Exactly - more work, but the right work! #ankedchat

chemelnalis Oct 20 @ 9:53 PM EDT

@MrsReadout I am using @weebly for education to collect qualitative data!#ankedchat https://t.co/xluJkdW0l4

MrsReadout Oct 20 @ 9:50 PM EDT

@chemelnalis @chemelnalic What tool do you use to digitally track evidence?

SarahWessling Oct 20 @ 9:53 PM EDT

@chemelnalic I always feel like I need to see my classroom "that much larger" to include parents for whom this is new. #ankedchat

Mr_Lisek Oct 20 @ 9:54 PM EDT

@chemelnalic This was the single most difficult part of the SBG shift. Ps needed letters or % to "get it" #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:54 PM EDT

@MrsReadout @SarahWessling - so true! #ankedchat

chemelnalic Oct 20 @ 9:54 PM EDT

@SarahWessling So true! It's not just Ss that need to understand, but Ps need to know and understand how Ss are doing to help! #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:56 PM EDT

You called that one right! #ankedchat https://t.co/XBxrvVvdKs

SarahWessling Oct 20 @ 9:52 PM EDT

@PeaceLoveMHeine Absolutely! You're amazing for taking on the challenge! #ankedchat

chemelnalic Oct 20 @ 9:56 PM EDT

@MrsReadout This transition way more difficult for GT students bc they worked their whole life for a good GPA and straight A's! #ankedchat

chemelnalic Oct 20 @ 9:56 PM EDT

@Mr_Lisek When they went through school so differently, it's hard to comprehend! #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:57 PM EDT

SO grateful to @SarahWessling for leading us tonight. Thank You! #ankedchat

SarahWessling Oct 20 @ 9:57 PM EDT

@Mr_Lisek @chemelnalic I think there are so many myths we need to dissect for parents. #ankedchat

ScotSoups Oct 20 @ 9:57 PM EDT

A7 drawback for me was consistency between Ts in same grade/subject #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:57 PM EDT

@DRich0696 https://t.co/ZvMQc2JZoY #ankedchat

Mr_Lisek Oct 20 @ 9:58 PM EDT

@chemelnalic I don't miss the "Is my child missing work in your class" conversations anymore. Now that Ps comprehend, it's nice. #ankedchat

DRich0696 - Moderator Oct 20 @ 9:58 PM EDT

Parent #edcamp is my answer but I can't sell it. #ankedchat https://t.co/uhLCmzxpHF

Q8: Last "lightning" question. What did your students teach you today? #ankedchat

SarahWessling Oct 20 @ 9:58 PM EDT

@DRich0696 That's pretty interesting... #ankedchat

chemelnalic Oct 20 @ 9:58 PM EDT

@SarahWessling @Mr_Lisek Definitely! In education, we roll with the punches but Ps don't have that perspective! #ankedchat

Mr_Lisek Oct 20 @ 9:59 PM EDT

A8: That patience is a virtue. #ankedchat

chemelnalic Oct 20 @ 9:59 PM EDT

@MrsReadout Maybe this will help more Ss take those courses now? #ankedchat

BurtonHable Oct 20 @ 9:59 PM EDT

A8 S submitted audition with Screencastify showing the music he played AND a video of him playing! HUGE implications for feedback #ankedchat
