      I feel we need to change our culture from that of earning good grades to one of learning. We will spend our whole lives learning, unlearning, and relearning. To be successful at anything we need to learn the skill of self-assessment - am I doing what I need to be doing? The world is ever-changing and we need to figure out how to make it (and ourselves) better. We can help young people do this by helping them learn to self-assess in school.

      We have talked about using a portfolio to conduct student-led conferences with parents and teachers. Our current PT conference protocol is out-dated in this day of emails and online gradebooks. I think it would be awesome for students to choose student work that shows their progress toward course goals.

      Is this a valid concern? How can my struggling students provide feedback to peers if they lack the necessary skills? How can a struggling writer give useful feedback to a peer who is a better writer?-- Just playing devil's advocate ;) Still a good question to think about in order to justify the use of peer assessment.

  • assessment formatively

      I feel like we could do a better job of formatively assessing students. When students hear the word assessment, they think quiz or test and they get apprehensive. We need to change their mindset and show them how they can use formative assessments (exit tickets, class polls, one-minute papers, etc) to help them take control of their own learning.

      I feel like incorporating rigor may be a bit more challenging when creating forums. Forums sometimes feel like busy work.

  • Ongoing and frequent assessments are conducted to verify each student’s readiness for the next lesson

      So what do we do if a student is not ready for the next lesson? I feel like this might be more difficult in an online course. You can't just pull the student in for extra help. With the timeline and deadlines, can you extend the deadline for struggling students?

      Online courses are no different that face-to-face courses - teachers need to engage students for learning to take place. The days of sit-and-get are gone.
