A1(con): We can provide Ss with Q/ prompt starters as well as a word bank of action words that all Ss can understand #formativechat

MrDiMauro Nov 28 @ 7:36 PM EST

A1 I think the hardest part is the students creating rigorous questions. Last year I really tried to model with examples #formativechat

#formativechat @goformative A1 the type and level of questioning used. Guide the Ss, give some support/ideas, so they can begin

In reply to @goformative

davidwkwan - Moderator Nov 28 @ 7:38 PM EST

What were the key take-aways of modeling the creation of rigorous Q's? #formativechat

In reply to @MrDiMauro

Rdene915 - Moderator Nov 28 @ 7:38 PM EST

#formativechat @goformative Always comes back to that modeling, giving an example, helps to build confidence too

In reply to @MrDiMauro, @goformative

AESpringstead Nov 28 @ 7:38 PM EST

A1: Make contexts accessible for all students to remove barriers that prevent Ss from showing you what they know. #formativechat

SprungerZack Nov 28 @ 7:39 PM EST

No but I know what you mean. I remember it going on here. #formativechat

In reply to @Rdene915, @goformative, @Edcampgcc

davidwkwan - Moderator Nov 28 @ 7:40 PM EST

definitely! how can you help Ss learn to do this when creating assessments for their peers? #formativechat

In reply to @AESpringstead

laurissajones Nov 28 @ 7:40 PM EST

A1-Question stems are a good way to model for Ss. Also teaching question types (right there, author &a me, etc...) #formativechat

davidwkwan - Moderator Nov 28 @ 7:40 PM EST

Yeah, that can be difficult especially when there are so many things that go into it #formativechat

In reply to @MrDiMauro

Q2 is coming up in #formativechat

Rdene915 - Moderator Nov 28 @ 7:41 PM EST

#formativechat @goformative Agreed, leading by example, giving a reference helps. I always did better with this in place

In reply to @laurissajones, @goformative

SprungerZack Nov 28 @ 7:41 PM EST

A1: I would say how questions are worded definitely can affect the difficulty of an assessment. #formativechat

AESpringstead Nov 28 @ 7:42 PM EST

Have Ss work in groups to develop questions. If they have to explain context to a group member, find a new one. @davidwkwan #formativechat

A2 Outside of skill level? Possibly by type of question, Multiple Choice, Fill in the blank, matching, open-ended. #formativechat

davidwkwan - Moderator Nov 28 @ 7:45 PM EST

How can Ss help reduce this anxiety when taking the role of assessment creator and evaluator? #formativechat

A2: I like diverse groups that change each unit. Have the same groups that create assessments take them. #formativechat

Rdene915 - Moderator Nov 28 @ 7:46 PM EST

#formativechat @goformative A2 Have Ss work together,or work in a group based on questions they didnt create, mix it up somtimes

In reply to @davidwkwan, @goformative

laurissajones Nov 28 @ 7:46 PM EST

A2-I group by book groups, but also mixed ability to get a variety of question types. #formativechat

Rdene915 - Moderator Nov 28 @ 7:47 PM EST

#formativechat @goformative Great point, have to focus on the anxiety part too, how can we prepare ahead

In reply to @davidwkwan, @tonimarianosnhu, @goformative

Are you referring to pairing Ss with similar skill levels what do you think are the pros and cons? #formativechat

#formativechat @goformative #edu235 Yes, #peercollaboration Ss can learn from each other, builds relationships too

In reply to @tonimarianosnhu, @goformative

AESpringstead Nov 28 @ 7:48 PM EST

A2: I have tried many strategies but like "random" the best. " " because I will shuffle a kid to a diff group intentionally. #formativechat

davidwkwan - Moderator Nov 28 @ 7:48 PM EST

Love it! Got me thinking that as the teacher can engage Ss in curating assessments with Ss's varying #DOK + question types! #formativechat

laurissajones Nov 28 @ 7:46 PM EST

A2-I group by book groups, but also mixed ability to get a variety of question types. #formativechat

In reply to @kncaton, @goformative

isn't pairing high and low skill level Ss already telling yo who strong/weak kid is in the group. #formativechat

In reply to @AESpringstead, @MrDiMauro

davidwkwan - Moderator Nov 28 @ 7:53 PM EST

or maybe I misunderstood! #formativechat

In reply to @AESpringstead, @MrDiMauro

laurissajones Nov 28 @ 7:54 PM EST

A3-That's why flex groups to reteach and reassess are so vital to moving Ss toward a 🎯. You can have those necessary convos. #formativechat

davidwkwan - Moderator Nov 28 @ 7:54 PM EST

Ah, I see, yeah pair heterogenous groups can have this negative effect #formativechat

In reply to @AESpringstead, @MrDiMauro

A3. Provide leading questions and sentence starters. Modeling required for authentic peer/self assessment #formativechat

MrDiMauro Nov 28 @ 7:55 PM EST

It gives the strong Ss a chance to lead and guide the weaker group. Low ss could learn from them! #formativechat

Rdene915 - Moderator Nov 28 @ 7:58 PM EST

#formativechat @goformative Do you think most Ss follow along? Sometimes it is difficult w larger classes,

In reply to @SprungerZack, @goformative

SprungerZack Nov 28 @ 7:58 PM EST

A student can understand material but not do well on an exam. Encouraging those students as a teacher can have a big impact. #formativechat

MrDiMauro Nov 28 @ 7:58 PM EST

A3 They can discuss not only their performance but how they got to that point. What they did well, or could do better. #formativechat

Rdene915 - Moderator Nov 28 @ 7:58 PM EST

@SprungerZack #formativechat @goformative Yes, exams are, but the emphasis is on growth, long term acquisition of skills and knowledge!
