      I personally have learned a ton of information about FA the last several years. I took a class on it for my master's degree about 4 years ago or so and that next school year, it was the focus of PD in our district and is always something we revisit. I wish I would have learned more about it in college before I started teaching! But I'm glad to have the knowledge now.

  • educators in all disciplines to assess outcomes in learning situations that require critical thinking and are multidimensional

      I like this quote that explains in very simple terms what rubrics can be used for. It specifies the use of rubrics so educators understand their purpose, to be used for assignments that "require critical thinking and are multidimensional" so educators don't overuse them for the wrong assignments.
  • “on what students have actually learned rather than what they have been taught,”

      I like this quote- it reminds me of another quote that says "If the students didn't learn, did the teacher really teach?" Good food for thought...
  • they should articulate the vital features that they are looking for and make these features known to the student.

      This sentence is interesting because I have never heard that you shouldn't share rubrics with students- I have always thought students need to have the rubric as they work on the assignment, so it seems obvious that we should make those features known to the student.

  • the use of multiple measures does not, by itself, translate into high-quality evidence. Using misinformation to triangulate on student needs defeats the purpose of bringing in more results to inform our decisions.

      I wish more people understood this! It seems like non-educators (and maybe some people in the education field) just think adding more measurements and assessments means that it is high quality evidence because they equate more evidence as high-quality evidence.
  • The assessor must begin with a clear picture of why he or she is conducting the assessment. Who will use the results to inform what decisions?

      Unfortunately, I feel like this is not something I was ever taught in college and it took me several years of teaching to really think about this and understand it. I definitely feel like I (and my students) missed out on some things in class that could have been better because my knowledge was lacking in this area.

    4Teachers.org is a resource that helps teachers integrate technology into their classroom. There are links to many different online websites that help with teaching along with educator's resources, technology planning, grant resources, and many other useful items.

ollie1christensen: Iowa Online Teaching Standards - 6 views

  • Sets and models clear expectations for appropriate behavior and proper interaction

      I think this standard is a very important one for online learning. Teachers model and monitor appropriate behavior naturally in a face-to-face class but it is a whole other world to try and teach it in an online class. The students that I have seen many times do not understand what is or is not appropriate for online classes or behavior. It needs to be explicitly taught and modeled and teachers can't just assume that students know what is or is not ok for online behaviors and interactions.
  • Demonstrates effective instructional strategies and techniques, appropriate for online education, that align with course objectives and assessment

      This immediately made me think of last week when we looked at the various tools and discussed how important it is to select the correct tool for a purpose in the online class, and not using tools just to use them or use them in the wrong manner.
