  • Kid-cast.com is a website for kids to publish their own Podcasts so that other kids can listen. The idea is to make sure that there's a kid-safe Podcast out there for our young minds to hear. Contribution by kids makes it that much better, by allowing kids to listen to their peers on subjects they love!

rubrics assessment

shared by Jo Richards on 18 Apr 09 - Cached
  • “we need to look to the piece of writing itself to suggest its own evaluative criteria” – a truly radical and provocative suggestion.

      Wow, nice concept. Getting further into subjectivity though. Where do we get an understanding of how to determine a pieces distinct 'evaluative criteria'
  • Thus, the dilemma:  Either our instruction and our assessment remain “out of synch” or the instruction gets worse in order that students’ writing can be easily judged with the help of rubrics.
  • In fact, when the how’s of assessment preoccupy us, they tend to chase the why’s back into the shadows.

  • We have to reassess the whole enterprise of assessment, the goal being to make sure it’s consistent with the reason we decided to go into teaching in the first place.

  • The students were thinking about who would be likely to help them complete their questions, which ultimately helped them identify their own Personal Learning Networks.  Which is helpful for them establishing who they could contact for help in the future.
  • The students were able to use SMS to collectively gather responses from a wide range of people from outside the school community. As a result the broad range of views enabled a more diverse range of discussions to take place
  • The follow up discussion was much more richer than what had taken place in the past as I believe each of them was able to bring some sort of vested interest into the conversation
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • As answers started rolling in, they were sharing their responses with each other, comparing them and taking notice of the similarities and differences among the responses. This lead to a great level of discussion about the concepts the activity was hoping to cover.
  • How else could  we be able to gather 50+ responses within the course of an hour that represented the views of the general public.
  • The engagement levels of the student group were through the roof.
  • At the moment we are learning about the different values people demonstrate towards nature. So with this in mind I got the students to choose 3 people who they could SMS who would be likely to respond quickly within our scheduled classtime. They then had 3 questions they needed to include in their SMS with only one question asked per person.

  • Walk-throughs for School Leaders
  • A Literacy with ICT walk-through is a short (4 to 6 minute) informal classroom/lab/library observation by the school leader.
  • The walk-through is followed closely by informal conversation between the school leader and the teacher, to facilitate teacher reflection about how to maximize student literacy with ICT.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Each school staff can modify their own walk-through procedures and develop a set of questions that school leaders could consider during their visits. The questions should be worded to encourage teacher reflection about their practice rather than to elicit a specific answer for the school leader.
  • Similarly, school leaders and teachers need to decide about the nature of the feedback, keeping in mind that the purpose of the walk-through is to promote reflective dialogue about promising teaching and learning practices related to student literacy with ICT.
  • Part 1: My Walk-through
  • Part 2: Our Conversation
  • Part 3: My Reflections
  • Walk-through Blank Form
  • It involves observing student engagement, teaching practices, and learning environment intended to develop student literacy with ICT in the context of curricular outcomes.
  • Walkthroughs are not teacher-evaluation sessions and should avoid evaluative comments.

  • Traditional teaching and learning strategies are becoming increasingly ineffective with a generation of secondary students that have instant access to information, are accustomed to managing their own acquisition of knowledge, and embrace the roles of content producer and publisher.

      Couldn't disagre more my overhead still works!
  • Today’s high school curriculum presents students with assignments that lack a real-world context and activities that lead to uninspired projects and end in a letter grade.
  • Students embrace media that presents participants with a challenge and requires them to draw on prior learning, acquire new knowledge, and tap their creativity to fashion solutions.
