rickatkagan - Moderator Apr 25 @ 8:05 PM EDT

#KaganChat A1: I had a prof in my PhD program who assigned group projects w/ group grades. It caused much tension & resentment among peers!

Yep - Resentment ensued! #kaganchat

In reply to @rickatkagan

KaganOnline - Moderator Apr 25 @ 8:08 PM EDT

#Kaganchat This is why high achieving Ss are disgusted about "cooperative learning". Previous Ts have done group work and called it CL!

dtrabilsy Apr 25 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A1 had to have a long talk with Ss today about why I wasn't going to give a group grade on Ancient Civilization presentations! #KaganChat

bgriffinteach Apr 25 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A1: UGH! Hated group grades. Ts always put me with lower levels hoping I would encourage. Ended up doing it all myself instead. #kaganchat

rickatkagan - Moderator Apr 25 @ 8:12 PM EDT

#KaganChat A2: my biggest argument against group grades is they violate the notion of individual accountability.

dtrabilsy Apr 25 @ 8:12 PM EDT

Brittany I was always one of those lover level Ss...I loved you!!! #KaganChat

In reply to @dtrabilsy

JackieAtKagan Apr 25 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A2: grades are supposed to reflect what each student knows individually. This is impossible with group grades. #kaganchat

dtrabilsy Apr 25 @ 8:12 PM EDT

Totally agree! #KaganChat

In reply to @KristineAtKagan

thehortonashley Apr 25 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A2: "Win as a team, lose as a team." What about if you don't work as a team? Group grades do not encourage collaborative learning #kaganchat

thehortonashley Apr 25 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A1: I hated group grades! Now, Ss self-assessment and reflections from their teammates are taken into consideration. #kaganchat

KaganOnline - Moderator Apr 25 @ 8:14 PM EDT

#kaganchat Another reason why high achieving Ss sometimes are resentful! We have to help Ss understand difference between CL & group work

bgriffinteach Apr 25 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A1: UGH! Hated group grades. Ts always put me with lower levels hoping I would encourage. Ended up doing it all myself instead. #kaganchat

dtrabilsy Apr 25 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A2 Group grades reward those who don't carry their weight in the group. They believe the high achieving S will do all the work. #KaganChat

thehortonashley Apr 25 @ 8:16 PM EDT

And the high achieving S will do all the work so they can get a good grade. It's an unfortunate, vicious cycle. 😒 #kaganchat

In reply to @dtrabilsy

bgriffinteach Apr 25 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A2: Equal work is needed in a "group" project or assignment. Accountability is key. Not really there in group grades. #kaganchat

BillAtKagan - Moderator Apr 25 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2: Because of emphasis on grade, Ss who need most practice end up doing the least. Ss who need it the least into doing the most #KaganChat

KaganOnline - Moderator Apr 25 @ 8:11 PM EDT

#KaganChat Q2 is here! See image below.

KristineAtKagan - Moderator Apr 25 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A2: group grades fail to accurately portray individual achievement. They create bitterness, frustration, & even isolation #kaganchat

KaganOnline - Moderator Apr 25 @ 8:19 PM EDT

#KaganChat Keep the ideas coming! Question 3 is on its way in one minute!

jessica_reddout Apr 25 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A2: it is not fair if 1 or 2 S's do the work & others take credit. All need equal participation #KaganChat

KaganOnline - Moderator Apr 25 @ 8:19 PM EDT

#kaganchat Great point @bgriffinteach

Prorok_Liberty Apr 25 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A2: if you give a group grade it should be tied to what the individual does for the group. Too easy to hide #KaganChat

KaganOnline - Moderator Apr 25 @ 8:20 PM EDT

#KaganChat Question 3 is here! See image below.

bgriffinteach Apr 25 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A3: Each team member has a role in the game. In a group, 1-2 usually covers for all. Shared responsibility in the end result. #kaganchat

rickatkagan - Moderator Apr 25 @ 8:22 PM EDT

#KaganChat A3: sports coaches play their star players the most to defeat other teams. Teachers want ALL students to achieve standards.

Prorok_Liberty Apr 25 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A3: great Q! When your team wins you feel good but when the coach gives feedback on the film you know what to do better. #KaganChat

JackieAtKagan Apr 25 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A3: Sports are about competition. Learning involves competing with yourself and cooperating with others. #kaganchat

jessica_reddout Apr 25 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A3: I feel as though in team sports, all active players play a role in achieving their score #KaganChat

thehortonashley Apr 25 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A3: Typically the star athletes play to achieve a shared goal. In groups, only a few members work while others sit back. #kaganchat

KaganOnline - Moderator Apr 25 @ 8:23 PM EDT

#KaganChat Roles are so important! Each person is needed -- positive interdependence!

bgriffinteach Apr 25 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A3: Each team member has a role in the game. In a group, 1-2 usually covers for all. Shared responsibility in the end result. #kaganchat

jessica_reddout Apr 25 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A3: while group grades may only reflect a partial amount of work completed #KaganChat

dtrabilsy Apr 25 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A3 On a team every1 has 2 pull their weight or they r kicked off team. You can't kick someone out of your group in the classroom #KaganChat

dtrabilsy Apr 25 @ 8:25 PM EDT

Love this!! #KaganChat

In reply to @JackieAtKagan

jessica_reddout Apr 25 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A3: teams/groups must go back to the idea of equally participating and have interdependence on the task #KaganChat

thehortonashley Apr 25 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A3: In true cooperative learning, every member has a role to play and the entire team is working towards a common goal. #kaganchat

KaganOnline - Moderator Apr 25 @ 8:25 PM EDT

#kaganchat @bgriffinteach That's why an individual, regardless of how talented, can't replace a strong team!

KaganOnline - Moderator Apr 25 @ 8:28 PM EDT

#KaganChat We're loving the analogies! Keep 'em coming! Question 4 will be here in one minute!

KaganOnline - Moderator Apr 25 @ 8:29 PM EDT

#KaganChat ...and here's Question 4!

KristineAtKagan - Moderator Apr 25 @ 8:29 PM EDT

A3: esp at certain levels team scores are a reflection of the best competitors; in a classroom all Ss r on playing field. #KaganChat

KaganOnline - Moderator Apr 25 @ 8:20 PM EDT

#KaganChat Question 3 is here! See image below.

KristineAtKagan - Moderator Apr 25 @ 8:29 PM EDT

Exactly! #kaganchat

In reply to @dtrabilsy

jessica_reddout Apr 25 @ 8:30 PM EDT

A4: calling on 1 student does not give the other 20+ S's a voice/affirmation/success/chance #KaganChat

thehortonashley Apr 25 @ 8:30 PM EDT

A4: Most of the time, the Ss with confidence & who are sure of their answers participate in Q&A. Shy, quiet Ss don't participate #kaganchat

rickatkagan - Moderator Apr 25 @ 8:31 PM EDT

#KaganChat A4: When we call on volunteers, we hear from those who likely understand. We miss out on the misunderstandings of others.

JackieAtKagan Apr 25 @ 8:31 PM EDT

A4: it may be authentic for that one student but the teacher has no idea whether everyone else knew or understood the answer. #kaganchat

dtrabilsy Apr 25 @ 8:31 PM EDT

A4 Ss can hide. There is no=participation. W/CL, interaction is simultaneous...More Ss participate. T can walk around & assess. #KaganChat

bgriffinteach Apr 25 @ 8:31 PM EDT

A4: Gives Ss chance to hide, even if they know the answer. We know the highs know it. Everyone should get to share ideas. #kaganchat

thehortonashley Apr 25 @ 8:31 PM EDT

A4: calling on 1 S doesn't allow the rest to have a voice. Cooperative lrng gives every S a chance to speak. #kaganchat

jessica_reddout Apr 25 @ 8:32 PM EDT

A4: it also shows that only 1 S, usually a volunteer, knows the answer #KaganChat

KaganOnline - Moderator Apr 25 @ 8:32 PM EDT

#kaganchat Awesome point @KristineAtKagan -- we want ALL students to learn and grow!

jessica_reddout Apr 25 @ 8:32 PM EDT

Yes! Calling on one student allows other students to learn how to avoid doing the work thus avoiding succeeding #kaganchat

In reply to @dtrabilsy

Prorok_Liberty Apr 25 @ 8:33 PM EDT

A4: I think it matters on who we call on and when. Calling on individual kids in small group is fine whole class??? Not so much. #KaganChat

jessica_reddout Apr 25 @ 8:33 PM EDT

A4: it does not show that the other S's in the class may be struggling with ththe concept #KaganChat

KaganOnline - Moderator Apr 25 @ 8:34 PM EDT

#kaganchat YES @JackieAtKagan ; we often think everyone understands because we have formative assessment on one student!

jessica_reddout Apr 25 @ 8:34 PM EDT

Let's make sure all our students are seen & heard #kaganchat

In reply to @bgriffinteach

rickatkagan - Moderator Apr 25 @ 8:35 PM EDT

#Kaganchat @jessica_reddout powerful point that a student who isn't doing the work isn't succeeding!

KristineAtKagan - Moderator Apr 25 @ 8:35 PM EDT

A4: in "The Instructional Revolution," there are wrong answers in the trad class. We just didn't hear them. @SpencerKagan #kaganchat

KaganOnline - Moderator Apr 25 @ 8:29 PM EDT

#KaganChat ...and here's Question 4!

BillAtKagan - Moderator Apr 25 @ 8:36 PM EDT

A4: Who volunteers? Typically S who knows the answer. Gives T false understanding that EVERYONE on class gets it. #kaganchat

KaganOnline - Moderator Apr 25 @ 8:29 PM EDT

#KaganChat ...and here's Question 4!

KaganOnline - Moderator Apr 25 @ 8:36 PM EDT

#kaganchat @jessica_reddout Absolutely! Student has to work in order to achieve!

KaganOnline - Moderator Apr 25 @ 8:38 PM EDT

A5 Learned who needs the extra support and who really has the concept. Can use that info for differentiating lessons. #KaganChat

bgriffinteach Apr 25 @ 8:40 PM EDT

A6: New ways to solve a problem/teach a concept. I have changed an activity or approach to a S to see if a new way will work. #kaganchat

bgriffinteach Apr 25 @ 8:41 PM EDT

A6: It's amazing what happens when we take the time to listen to others instead of listening to answer. #kaganchat

thehortonashley Apr 25 @ 8:41 PM EDT

A5 Ss are more willing to ask for help from their peers in small groups. They're willing to admit they don't know the answer. #kaganchat

jessica_reddout Apr 25 @ 8:41 PM EDT

A5: 💜 listening to my S's working together because it shows me: who needs clarification; who needs remediation... #KaganChat

KaganOnline - Moderator Apr 25 @ 8:41 PM EDT

#kaganchat It's so important that we monitor, and use what we discover! You rock, @dtrabilsy
