  • A Stage One PLE is teacher-centered with learner voice and choice
    • carlarwall
      carlarwall on 23 Apr 18
       
      This is a great way for new teachers to get started in PLE. Sometimes they are already doing these basic elements and don't even realize it.
  • how to unpack the Common Core State Standards with your learners,
    • carlarwall
      carlarwall on 23 Apr 18
       
      I LOVE how this talks about the standards and making the standards a part of the process of PLE. The standards should always be our main focus.
  • Expert learners and assessment as learning is the key for learners taking responsibility for their learning.

      Just another example of how and why assessment is so important in all types of teaching scenarios.

  • In terms of the tenets of inquiry-based instruction, she explains, when she answers students’ questions straightforwardly instead of asking questions to help the students find the answers themselves, she’s actually interfering with the learning process.

      This is such a hard thing to do, even as parents, it is sometimes easier to just answer questions for our children rather than letting them problem solve. It is such a good skill to have going into adulthood.
  • Practice procedures for independent and collaborative work

      Super important! Teachers can give up and quit something they have tried because they think it didn't work. Sometimes things do not work because students need more time to learn the procedure.

  • Personal learning environments are beneficial because they support learning anywhere and allow learners to connect the diverse environments of school, home and play
    • carlarwall
      carlarwall on 08 Apr 18
       
      I think it is great that this type of learning will help to shift the mindset of the students to one in which they think learning can happen anywhere.

      The design of this space reminds me of the design of many of the preschool and early learning classrooms. It takes those same concepts and shows how it can be applied with older students and for a more advanced purpose.

      This thoughts and ideas are tied closely with the flexible seating research many teachers are currently implementing and exploring.

      This statement is so powerful. So many times teachers are using tools like Canvas or Google Classroom and it really is just the same way of teaching as the traditional classroom. The work is the same, just done on line.

      And the more independent this student will be able to be in the future as they will be able to use their knowledge with these tools to guide them.

      This type of personalization also adds the higher order skills from Bloom's Taxonomy and is more rigorous for students.

  • Learning progressions describe how concepts and skills build in a domain
    • carlarwall
      carlarwall on 10 Feb 18
       
      Many schools and districts are working on creating unit organizers for instruction based around standards. This piece of that planning is so important. The creation of the progression based around the standard is valuable work for classroom teachers to help develop and plan around learning targets. Another piece of learning progressions though is looking at the work students have done with that standard in the grade level before and also looking ahead to the grade level to come.

  • vital to the process and/or product of a given assignment,
    • carlarwall
      carlarwall on 03 Feb 18
       
      When I see the word vital in this statement, it reminds me that we should only be assessing the qualities that are truly important. We need to be so careful when we are creating and assessing student work to not over assess or under assess our students.
  • rubrics to both assess and encourage student learning.
    • carlarwall
      carlarwall on 03 Feb 18
       
      This statement stands out to me because we should use rubrics for many purposes. Many times teachers just want to use the rubric to grade. We need to think about the feedback that we give students on a rubric as a way to encourage them to continue to push themselves in their learning and set goals for themselves.
  • When instructors plan on grading student thinking and not just student knowledge, they should articulate the vital features that they are looking for and make these features known to the student.
    • carlarwall
      carlarwall on 03 Feb 18
       
      Students should not have to play a guessing game with instructors. We as teachers need to be transparent with our students about what they need to know and should be able to demonstrate.

  • rubrics should be used in conjunction with other strategies
    • carlarwall
      carlarwall on 03 Feb 18
       
      So important to remember that rubrics are not the only way to provide feedback to students.

  • Only assessments that satisfy these standards—whether teachers' classroom assessments, department or grade-level common assessments, or benchmark or interim tests—will be capable of informing sound decisions.
    • carlarwall
      carlarwall on 26 Jan 18
       
      Having criteria for assessment and understanding the purpose is so important.
  • Do the results provide clear direction for what to do next?
    • carlarwall
      carlarwall on 26 Jan 18
       
      This statement is so important. When we are analyzing the results of assessment we should not just looking at how many points a student got. Digging deeper into what they were successful at, where they had any misconceptions and then planning from there is so important.

      Important- if students are not engaged with the content or activities they will shut down and not do the work.
