  • Knowing how to organise, filter, research, evaluate and bookmark resources online is a valuable skill for students to gain. However, we can’t assume giving students access to a social bookmark tool means they’ll know what’s expected or will gain the necessary skills.
  • Students need explicit instructions and instructions to get the most out of social bookmarking. Students must see the point of aggregating bookmarks that they can return to for further use. Don’t expect them to initially appreciate the value of why they should bookmark. Students need to be aware of the types of bookmarks they can save. I teach history, so a bookmark could be a link to maps, photos, documents, quotes and so on –it’s like collecting different artifacts online. Students need to understand bookmarking is about finding quality links and not quantity.

    This is one of the things we need to model for our students (older grades)

    Love the global collaborations with learning. The authentic audience really helps with purpose for learning it, and increases the quality and intrinsic motivation of learning. There are several Common Core projects to join.

grading grade assessment Report Card

    Guideline 1:! Relate grades to the achievement of the district's course/grade level standards. Guideline 2:! Use agreed-on performance standards as the reference points when determining grades. Guideline 3:! Separate achievement from all other dispositions and behaviors. Guideline 4:! Sample student performance. ! Don't score everything & don't include all scores in grades. Guideline 5:! Grade in pencil and maintain records so they can be easily updated. Guideline 6:! To determine grades at the end of the grading period, use professional judgment when considering the body of evidence. Grading must involve more than just crunching numbers. Guideline 7:! Use quality assessments and properly record evidence of achievement. Guideline 8:! Involve students in the assessment and grading processes throughout the learning cycle. No zeros for missing or incomplete work At Middle school: "Student work in the Lesson Practice & Progress Checks portion will be recorded as Missing (M) in the grade book if a student does not turn in an assignment. Middle school students will have until the end of the quarter to complete these practice activities or the Missing (M) will remain. The Missing (M) will factor into the overall average as a zero. However, leaving the Missing (M) in the grade book will communicate that the work has not been turned in. And, because the Lesson Practice & Progress Checks portion of the grade book is weighted just 20% of the overall grade, the Missing (M) for the practice work will not have significant impact on the student's grade." At High School: "A score of zero will not be entered in the grade book. Instead, M or I will be entered to indicate that work is not yet complete. In grades 9-12, students will have five days beyond the assignment due date to complete Lesson Practice and Progress Checks, unless there are extenuating circumstances. An M (Missing) will be entered in the grade book until the work is turned in or until the end of the nine-w

    Also see: http://www.relayforlife.org/learn/relayforeveryone/studentrelays/relay-recess "How can your students become superheroes in the fight against cancer? Relay Recess brings Relay For Life to elementary schools nationwide. It provides students, teachers, and administrators the opportunity to become heroes in their own communities. It also brings cancer education and community service to the classroom in a fun and exciting way. It also engages elementary school students in the fight against cancer through fundraising activities that support cancer programs and services in every community. It gives students the chance to get out of the classroom and have fun with entertainment and activities that reinforce what they have learned. Because the program is so flexible, it's different at every school and is an excellent opportunity to showcase unique qualities about your school and your community."

    Wonderful artifacts and mix of media to show the progression of your year. We wonder of the group of students who made the commercial had a student record them or if it was a teacher.

Transformative Questions : 2¢ Worth - 0 views

coach coaching collaboration warlick question

shared by Tracy Watanabe on 15 Aug 11 - No Cached
  • “How do we create a culture of learners that thrive in the 21st century?”
  • Those qualities are, That the experience is responsive, It provokes conversation, It inspires personal investment, and It’s guided by safely-made mistakes.
  • Classroom Teachers: How might I alter this assignment or project so that it “Responds” to the learner? How can the experience “Talk Back?” How might I plant barriers within the assignment that force learners to “Question” their way through — to value the “questions” not just for “answers?” How can I ban silence in my classroom, provoking “Conversation” with my assignments and projects, expecting learners to exchange ideas and knowledge? How can I make their learning worth “Investing” in? How might the outcomes of their learning be of value to themselves and to others? How am I daring my students to make the “Mistakes” that feed the learning dialog?

  • Administrators: How does the learning here “Respond” to the learner? How does the learning “Talk Back” to the learner and to the community? Have my classrooms banned silence? Do the learning experiences “Provoke Conversation” by expecting learners to exchange knowledge? Are my classrooms places that student “Questions” as much as their answers? How do the learning environments in my school inspire learners to invest their time and skills for something larger? How are learners being dared to make the “Mistakes” that feed the learning dialog and how am I a part of that dialog?

PeerCoaching peer_ed edutopia 21stCentury PD

shared by Tracy Watanabe on 30 Sep 11 - No Cached
  • Welcome back to our series on becoming a 21st century school or district! For the earlier installments of this series, please scroll to the bottom of this page. Previously we focused a lot of attention around the 4Cs: Critical thinking Communication Collaboration Creativity
  • Another strategy for using collaboration to transform PD is "peer coaching."
  • Reflections How would you rate the quality of professional development in your school or district? Does your PD challenge your educators to: Think critically and reflect deeply on their practice? Communicate and collaborate effectively? Bring innovative and creative practices to their classrooms? Have you established professional learning communities? Are they focused on the 4C's? Conclusion We have two major recommendations on PD: Be sure your PD exhibits the characteristics of the 4C's; Focus your PD on how teachers teach and assess the 4C's.

  • The Big 6 provides a framework to systematically find, use, apply, and evaluate information for specific tasks.
  • Information Literacy The ability to assess the validity and usefulness of information has always been a critical skill. Given the ease of publishing information on the Internet, and our increasing reliance on Web based resources these skills are even more important. These resources are designed to help students develop the ability to evaluate information.
