      I think this would be a great way for students to collect information throughout their school career to show what they've learned and to see how far they've come. Now with digital tools, students could create a digital portfolio to showcase their work for every grade/class.
  • taught strategies for self monitoring and self assessment
    • jbuerman
      jbuerman on 21 Aug 20
       
      This is definitely something that needs to be taught and students need to understand what it's being used for. Those that see the importance of self-monitoring are students that excel in their learning!
  • Students may be reluctant to make judgements regarding their peers.

      Using anonymous digital tools could make this a little less intimidating for students.

  • Showing students examples of effective and ineffective pieces of work can help to make those definitions real and relevant
    • jbuerman
      jbuerman on 21 Aug 20
       
      Showing these different pieces of work is critical to helping the students be able to judge their own work. We are often our own worst critics and sometimes need to recognize that we are doing things the right way!
  • a team grade AND a grade allocated for the peer evaluation

      I think this is a great idea - especially in online learning. For small group work, having students rate their team as well as each other based on their work will be a good idea since the teacher will not be "present" in every second of the group meetings. (I'm thinking of breakout rooms on Zoom or students meeting in small groups outside of class time)

ollie-afe-2020summer: Article: Attributes from Effective Formative Assessment (CCSSO) - 3 views

  • Increasing numbers of educators regard formative assessment as a way not only to improve student learning, but also to increase student scores on significant achievement examinations
    • jbuerman
      jbuerman on 20 Aug 20
       
      Formative assessment helps ensure that each student is doing the learning for themselves rather than relying on students around them to help with everything.
  • Formative assessment is a process used by teachers and students during instruction that provides feedback to adjust ongoing teaching and learning to improve students’ achievement of intended instructional outcomes.
    • jbuerman
      jbuerman on 20 Aug 20
       
      Formative assessment definitely helps personalize learning - students that have not mastered the subject are more apt to ask for help to understand the material.
  • a process
    • jbuerman
      jbuerman on 20 Aug 20
       
      This is definitely a process to help students understand that the results should be informative to them and the teacher.

      Students take more ownership of their learning when they understand what the final goal is rather than just doing what the teacher says to do.

      This is great! Students can make huge progress in their learning when they understand that teachers are trying to help them learn!

  • rubrics can help the student with self-assessment; what is most important here is not the final product the students produce, but the habits of mind practiced in the act of self-assessment.
    • jbuerman
      jbuerman on 10 Aug 20
       
      Rubrics are very helpful with student self-assessment. Students are able to clearly see what an instructor will be looking for while grading and can decide if they need to learn more or have enough.
  • we ought to illicit student input when constructing rubrics
    • jbuerman
      jbuerman on 10 Aug 20
       
      I could see this being true sometimes - or maybe even as a review afterwards. Students could be used to provide feedback and improve the rubric.
  • General rubrics can be applied to various assignments
    • jbuerman
      jbuerman on 10 Aug 20
       
      These are nice, so students can see consistency across the board for certain types of assignments

  • While many educators make a compelling argument for sharing rubrics with students, others worry that doing so will encourage formulaic writing.
    • jbuerman
      jbuerman on 10 Aug 20
       
      This is definitely an issue with rubrics. Once the criteria have been met - students stop working on the assignment and turn it in. I definitely like the idea of promoting creativity, application and going above and beyond to challenge students.

  • This key ensures that the assessor has translated the learning targets into assessments that will yield accurate results
    • jbuerman
      jbuerman on 03 Aug 20
       
      Multiple questions to ensure the learning target has been met. Should not be distracting questions that are not focused on the learning target.
  • noise distractions
    • jbuerman
      jbuerman on 03 Aug 20
       
      This makes me wonder about students that may be taking tests at home this year - do they have a quiet space for this?
  • teachers need to write learning targets in terms that students will understand
    • jbuerman
      jbuerman on 03 Aug 20
       
      Learning targets should be simple statements and not the big standard - for example, the state standard. Also parent friendly language through grading programs

  • The classroom is also a practical location to give students multiple opportunities to demonstrate what they know and can do, adding to the accuracy of the information available from that level of assessment.
    • jbuerman
      jbuerman on 03 Aug 20
       
      The 'classroom' will be broadened a bit this year - I will have to be taking notes and recording online conversations to ensure I am assessing properly what a student knows.

ol101-2020: Iowa Online Teaching Standards - 9 views

  • • Knows the content of the subject to be taught and understands how to teach the content to students
    • jbuerman
      jbuerman on 12 Jun 20
       
      It is essential that a teacher understands the content and is confident in their ability to teach it. If a teacher is not competent in the subject and hasn't taught it before, it would be difficult to teach an online course. I think one of the best ways to learn as a teacher is to see student's reactions face to face & learn along with them. This would be harder to do in an online setting.
  • Utilizes a course evaluation and student feedback data to improve the course
    • jbuerman
      jbuerman on 12 Jun 20
       
      Teachers should always be willing to improve on their craft. Reflection should be from all stake holder's - parents, students and the teacher themselves. Especially as we do this for the first time - feedback can only make things better.
  • Selects and uses technologies appropriate to the content that enhance learning
    • jbuerman
      jbuerman on 12 Jun 20
       
      Content can sometimes look fun, but might be challenging for students to do. Their internet might be slow or their computer is not working right or it requires a program that they don't have loaded. These issues make the student focus more on the computer than on the learning at hand.

  • Incorporates social aspects into the teaching and learning process, creating a community of learners
    • jbuerman
      jbuerman on 12 Jun 20
       
      Students are very social learners. Many of us have collaborative activities that they do in a face to face setting. It is important that we keep these social activities in an online course as well. Learning is definitely more fun with others!

  • instructional designers who only have experience with e-Learning and might someday have a need to develop face-to-face instruction.
    • jbuerman
      jbuerman on 15 Jun 18
       
      Since we are used to face-to-face learning, this type of plan seems good to compare the two.

  • Demonstrates effective instructional strategies and techniques, appropriate for online education, that align with course objectives and assessment (SREB C.1, SREB G.6, Varvel V.C, ITS 3.d, ITS 4.b)
    • jbuerman
      jbuerman on 06 May 17
       
      Instructional strategies are mentioned many times in this document.  Different strategies need to be considered when providing online education.  All strategies (online & traditional) need to encourage higher order thinking skills for students.  Instructional strategies have been a major focus of our work in our district this year and I hope it continues to challenge teachers to think about how they are providing instructions and change to increase the thinking necessary to challenge students.
