Grading and Reporting Philosophy and Purposes - 2 views

  •  
    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

Getting Started with Project-Based Learning (Hint: Don't Go Crazy) | Edutopia - 1 views

  • Here are a few tips to consider.
  • Start Small
  • Instead of targeting a million standards, focus on a few power standards.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • Ensure authenticity and public audience, but keep it focused.
  • As you get begin to master PBL as a teacher, you can then use technology to manage the process. But as a PBL beginner, focus on the PBL process itself.
  • Plan Now One of the challenges of PBL, but also one of the joys, is the planning process.
  • Limited Technology
  • Once you plan it, you're free to differentiate instruction and meet the immediate needs of your students
  • Know the Difference Between PBL and Projects
  • With PBL, the project itself is the learning (1), not the "dessert" at the end. If you are doing projects in the classroom, you may or may not be doing PBL. In fact, many teachers think they are doing PBL, but are actually doing projects. Again, in PBL you are teaching through the project, not teaching and then doing the project.

    Discusses having to redefine "literacy" since Internet has changed what that means... and students need to learn new literacy because that's the reality of this day and age... It's the reality of preparing them for college and career (year 13). Furthermore, it's built into the standards.

There's Blogging and There's Blogging… | Primary Tech - 0 views

  • When it comes to classroom blogging, I am an advocate of a program that: begins with a class blog before allowing students to work on their own blogs is integrated into a literacy program on a regular basis (while incorporating other curriculum areas) sets high standards for writing, design, netiquette etc. is regularly maintained and is an evolving space allows students to express themselves while improving their educational outcomes provides feedback and explicit teaching to students begins with a high level of teacher guidance, before increasingly offering students more responsibility.

Journey North Citizen Science: A Global Study of Wildlife Migration and Seasonal Change - 2 views

  •  
    Journey North is a global study of wildlife migration and seasonal change. Journey North is an online science education project in which students track spring's journey across the northern hemisphere. There are so many great objectives linked to the different studies. This is a great activity for a primary and an intermediate class to work together on. A possible pitfall may be spending too much time on these fabulous activities.
  •  
    Krystal, What a great project. This would be something great to do with a kindergarten class because I know kindergarten does a whole unit on Monarch butterflies.

  • “Maximizing the Common Core involves a change in creativity, critical thinking, and a fundamental shift in relationships. It is where the role of the teacher becomes more essential than ever, as students develop their capacity to question, discover, connect, collaborate and contribute on a global scale, and where they are empowered by an increase in direction and management of their own learning.”
