    Interesting Article on Creativity shared by Kay Z. Some of you have heard me talking about this article from Newsweek, July 19. I think it is critical to what we do, and I think that it should certainly be used as we focus on DI and UbD, as well as when we look at the curricula across our divisions, and when we look at what we say/do in Admissions and Development.

  • You as the teacher can decide the aspects of R.A.F.T they will and also allow for student voice and choice.
  • The task is deliberate. You have a mission.
  • , you need to think about which standards will your students 'buy,' how you will teach them, and how your assessments will demonstrate the learning."
  • clear intent of the instructor of what is truly to be assessed
  • collaboration, presentation and critical thinking, but of course technology literacy is always a popular one
  • rubrics available,
  • track and monitor ongoing formative assessments, that show work toward that standard.
  • ecause there is an exit slip, worksheet, draft, or quiz due often.
  • I recommend only having the summative assessment count for the majority of the grade. Formative assessment is practice, and summative is the performance.
  • creating relevant, inquiry-based and engaging summative assessments.

    Quilt of Trusted Adults

    Working with NetSmartz, the Northwestern District Attorney’s Office has empowered children to teach each other about Internet safety. Director of Community Education and Outreach, Cynthia Boyle, shares about their work and what can happen when adults take a step back.

    In Massachusetts, Clicky has taken on some additional duties: working with high school students to teach first and second graders how to be safer online. Members of the 2008-2009 Youth Advisory Board (YAB), which consists of high school students from local schools, decided it was time for them to take an active role in helping teach basic Internet safety to the youngest members of their communities.

    In addition to teaching with Clicky, YAB members also provide the first and second graders with some hands-on classroom projects that reinforce the safety messages they learned from Clicky. While in the classrooms, YAB members lead discussions with the first and second graders about who a trusted adult is and create a list of the students’ answers. Then, each student is given a quilt square and asked to draw a picture of their trusted adult.

    When the students are finished with their drawings, YAB members tie the squares together creating a Quilt of Trusted Adults. Each class keeps their quilt to hang in their classroom for the rest of the school year. Finally, an awards ceremony is held, where the YAB members give each student a Clicky certificate of completion and an activity book to take home.

    Through teaching lessons about Internet safety, the YAB members have those concepts reinforced in their own lives. It is just more one step that our community is taking     towards helping every child stay safer online.
