Clear achievement targets or criteria for success are provided to students and parents in student friendly language before instruction begins. Doing so informs students what is expected of them upfront. Imagine how difficult it would be for a young person to build a log cabin for the first time without a picture, and then get graded on how similar their log home is to the picture they did not get to see. That would not be fair. However, providing clear achievement targets to students and parents before instruction begins can be a very efficient, effective, equitable formative assessment strategy.

Scheduling is so hard! Love having ideas! I loved when we went to Chicago and saw how they all took times to help with intervention times and every team was able to meet to help all children from this!

This is perfect! Our school is in the middle of revising our master schedule for next year. Lots of changes coming and we are all trying to contribute solutions.

Branstad-Reynolds administration's blueprint unveils vision for Iowa's education remodel - Iowa Department of Education - 5 views
-
-
Governor Branstad has some good ideas on the direction that education should go, but I am wondering how some of it will be accomplished. For example, I think it's smart to reduce the principals' managerial tasks so they can use their time to lead and support great teaching, but who is going to pick up their tasks?

Is REAL Formative Assessment Even Possible? - The Tempered Radical - 0 views
-
Instead, school leaders should ask that teachers meet with ONE collaborative group and one collaborative group only. Then, they should require that collaborative groups make formative assessment a priority. Meetings should focus on studying formative assessment data, creating exemplars, improving rubrics, and designing remediation and enrichment opportunities for kids. The simple truth is teachers just don’t have the time to do formative assessment correctly if their attention is divided between the kinds of traditional meetings we’ve always been required to attend.

For example, the educators community in Iowa uses #IowaCore for their discussions related to that subject. The group might have a real-time discussion, say, from 5-7 pm on a Tuesday afternoon, with participants hash-tagging their contributions so the thread appears in one column for people who follow that particular hashtag. Since a single brief tweet can contain a link to a richly textured site, essay, wiki or other content that lends far more depth to a subject, statement or inquiry, the limiting factor of 140 characters can become an asset, streamlining the dialogue in this format to essentials.

the biggest enemy of effective learning can’t be taken away by applying those strategies because it’s something that is fundamental and essentially more important than having a strategy: motivation or or in other words the lack of motivation many learners experience.

learning in school or college was based on tradition and lesson plans and undoubtedly some well-respected methods but without real scientific evidence that the way we learn is actually the best way we could learn. It’s just the way some people decided on and we have always done it ever since.

information about the new Iowa Assessments
-
This is very interesting. I knew nothing about this and have still been referring to assessments as ITBS when I walk through that section of the IEP about whether a student will take district-wide assessments with or without accommodations. I am glad to know this and I learned several other tidbits including the $ aspect.
-
There are many assessments the students take throughout the year at our school. The data generated would be interesting reading.

School Districts Integrate Technology into Common Core-based Curriculum - 0 views

The key idea to this article is that the learning drives the technology. We shouldn't just be using the technology just to say that we have integrated technology in our curriculum. I like how they pointed out that in Des Moines that they are giving ides how to meet the standards through the "lens" of a technology tool. The Tech Tuesday training idea is one that I can see easily being implemented in my district. It would support those teachers who don't have as much confidence in using technology. Using student technology leaders is another great point that is brought out in this article.
