  • he or she should be the one leading the ideas for these next steps based on whatever meaningful focus areas you've identified together

  • think of Evernote as the Swiss Army knife of organization
  • Evernote allows students to write, take photos, record audio, upload content and more with the ability to tag items, create notebooks for organization and share content socially.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Evernote doesn't give teachers any way to moderate its use by students.
  • Evernote isn't publicly viewable, either.
  • what Three Ring offers that Evernote doesn't is teacher-created class accounts. In other words, teachers initiate the use of Three Ring in the classroom by creating classrooms within the teacher account and adding students to each class
  • Three Ring
  • students can create and upload content from their own devices and tag, search and share their portfolios
  • Three Ring even allows parents to view their students' accounts once linked by the teacher
  • This is the effect of good portfolios. They craft a narrative of learning, growth and achievement over time.
  • If your school is fueled by Google Apps for Education, then using Google Sites (3) to create student portfolios, or "Googlios," makes perfect sense.

curiosity mindset

shared by Jill Bergeron on 12 Jan 15 - No Cached
  • curiosity puts the brain in a state that allows it to learn and retain any kind of information, like a vortex that sucks in what you are motivated to learn, and also everything around it.
  • So not only will arousing students' curiosity help them remember lessons that might otherwise go in one ear and out the other, but it can also make the learning experience as pleasurable as ice cream or pocket money

  • Whatever support you ask from a parent needs to be something that is within her sphere of influence.
  • Always convey a growth mindset. All behaviors can change given the right conditions. If you want to see changes and have concerns about a student, be prepared to offer specific, actionable solutions
  • If this is the first time you're sitting down with parents, it's a great opportunity to hear their perspective on their child's school experience so far, on what their child likes to do outside of school, on the questions and concerns they have about their child, and so on.

  • Don't underestimate the power of the positive, and lead with it.
  • Be specific in the positive data you share -- tell an anecdote or show a piece of work.

formative assessment differentiation assessment understanding

  • What strategy can double student learning gains? According to 250 empirical studies, the answer is formative assessment, defined by Bill Younglove as "the frequent, interactive checking of student progress and understanding in order to identify learning needs and adjust teaching appropriately."
  • Alternative formative assessment (AFA) strategies can be as simple (and important) as checking the oil in your car -- hence the name "dipsticks." They're especially effective when students are given tactical feedback, immediately followed by time to practice the skill.

  • having learners use their own vernacular to articulate why they are stuck can be profoundly useful for identifying where to target support.
  • The biggest benefit of integrating AFAs into your practice is that students will internalize the habit of monitoring their understanding and adjusting accordingly.
