    Guide to peer editing. This one is for elementary students but the concepts are similar to what you would do with older kids.

boys assessment grading learning behavior

shared by Blair Peterson on 03 Feb 13 - No Cached
  • Teachers of classes as early as kindergarten factor good behavior into grades — and girls, as a rule, comport themselves far better than boys.
  • No previous study, to my knowledge, has demonstrated that the well-known gender gap in school grades begins so early and is almost entirely attributable to differences in behavior
  • If the teachers had not accounted for classroom behavior, the boys’ grades, like the girls’, would have matched their test scores.

  • If they are inattentive, obstreperous and distracting to their teachers and peers, that’s their problem. After all, the ability to regulate one’s impulses, delay gratification, sit still and pay close attention are the cornerstones of success in school and in the work force

      This seems very funny to me. So, why not use the carrot and stick approach with grades for these behaviors.
  • I emphasized boy-averse trends like the decline of recess, zero-tolerance disciplinary policies, the tendency to criminalize minor juvenile misconduct and the turn away from single-sex schooling. As our schools have become more feelings-centered, risk-averse, collaboration-oriented and sedentary, they have moved further and further from boys’ characteristic sensibilities.
  • Black women are nearly twice as likely to earn a college degree as black men.

grading assessment

shared by Blair Peterson on 23 Aug 12 - No Cached
  • Moreover, grading causes students to be risk-prone. Research finds that students of all ages who have been led to concentrate on getting a good grade are likely to pick the easiest possible assignment if given a choice. Folks, 'F' is really the new 'A.'
  • Feedback is at the gist of a revolutionary assessment system. Notice the word "assessment." Assessment, unlike the current system, is an ongoing process directed at improving a student's learning. Iteration and failure are packed in.
  • "Assessment is not a spreadsheet -- it's a conversation." I propose that classrooms have daily crit sessions where fellow peers constructively criticize each other's work. This is a simple, yet very attainable solution.

  • Parks, the university’s registrar, says this allowed the university to “deepen and expand” the experiences on the transcripts, capture more data and clean up a lot of the data that existed in the system.
  • “Fewer and fewer places are requesting the academic transcript, they’re really only used for graduate school,” Parks says. “So our thought process was, let’s make a transcript more meaningful.”
  • One of the things Elon noticed was that its African American male students didn’t become as engaged in the five co-curricular experiences Elon tracks (which are leadership, service, internships, global engagement and undergraduate research) until their third year at Elon, compared to their white peers who got involved in similar activities sooner.

  • The data also indicated that if students take part in leadership early in their academic careers, their retention rate is higher.
  • Parks says with the metrics from the co-curricular data, department chairs, deans and institutional researchers are able to “mine down on the level of experiences” the students in a given major or degree program are having.
  • Parks adds that the data can even reveal the level of engagement by advisor, adding that if you control for other factors like a students’ living and learning community, it appears that advisors have a “pretty significant impact” on students’ level of engagement.
  • “Here’s this 100 plus year-old thing, formally produced, tracked and managed by basically every university that nobody uses," he says. "There’s an interesting question embedded in that—why not? And if it’s not used, what’s wrong with it? And if there’s something wrong with it, well, maybe we should do something about that. Maybe that should be better.”
