    This site has been a wonderful source of discussion ideas in my class, especially in philosophy sessions. This site has an archive going back to 2007 of over 1,000 fabulous question that will get your class (and you) thinking and discussing. You can even submit your own brain bouncing questions to the site. http://ictmagic.wikispaces.com/PSHE%2C+RE%2C+Citizenship%2C+Geography+%26+Environmental

Think Thank Thunk » Standards-Based Grading: Feedback - 7 views

      The question becomes how do we motivate students to imporove, especially when we know they can?
  • pre­sen­ta­tion day is the only day that you took to assess this child, and then you leave any reme­di­a­tion up to them
    • Brendan Murphy
       
      Evaluate students informally on a regular basis so they know what you expect.
  • ou prob­a­bly call it “check­ing for under­stand­ing” or some­thing along those lines. I actu­ally keep a sheet going in my note­book with every kid’s name on it and a check mark for whether I feel like I’ve com­mu­ni­cated to them where they’re at in any given topic
    • Brendan Murphy
       
      "check for understanding" for every student before giving an assignment that will be graded.
