  • best way to teach that is to model.

      I still would like to see what the outer circle would look like if the students were on Today's Meet - discussing in real-time what is happening in the inner circle.  That is a group I want to help dissect the thinking while it is occurring.  It would be a great way to model and help students stay engaged.
  • So challenge them to communicate back to you.

      Perhaps this is where video comes in - they can communicate either face-to-face or process and then submit commentary electronically.  One way is not better than the other and you need both to be successful in life.

      This makes me wonder....it would be awesome if...for freshman year long courses...grades were reported out but not captured on transcripts until the end of the school year.  In December Ss would receive "grades", for Ss below a C conversations would be had between all stakeholders to create a success plan for the S.  But there is really incentive for all Ss...come May if the end grade is substantially higher than the December grade then it would trump that grade (so there would still be Sem1 and Sem2 transcript grades ).  Those not improving would simply have whatever grade documented for December along with the grade earned for semester 2.

      I agree and am impressed with the elements that we are currently doing in our school.  I think we just need to tighten it up.  PG 4 notes another element which we need to improve and that is the ideas of the summer bridge program, the career exploratory courses and the extension of the teacher/advisory programming.  What if, we sent freshmen mentors to the ML to meet their students along with link leaders?

      We can't forget that it is also critical for teachers to model the thinking within the tool - it helps for students to gain a better understanding of expectations. This practices also can reduce fear as well as provide empathy from the teacher as they are required to adhere to their own expectations.
  • The challenge, therefore, is for teachers to recognize the differences in these tools and not assume that one blog is the same as the next.
