Article(s): Self- and Peer-Assessment Online - 1 views

  • type of evaluation is to give students a practice session with it
  • students develop trust by forming them into small groups early in the semester and having them work in the same groups throughout the term.
    • jhatcher
       
      I have to help students build trust because they are nervous to be completely honest. They have a lot of social and confidence issues that can get in the way of great peer editing. If keeping them with the same partners for a given amount of time will help, it makes sense to do it. I will try this next year.
  • It is helpful to introduce students to the concepts and elements of assessment against specified criteria in the first weeks of class when you explain the unit of study outline.
    • jhatcher
       
      This is easier when we use the Backward Design method to plan our lessons. It should be very easy to share the outcomes and features of the assessments as we teach. I can see how this would be very helpful for the students and their reflections of their learning.

  • The break down in peer grading occurs when the learning environment cannot provide the conditions as mentioned above.
    • jhatcher
       
      I can see some of these factors are not being met in my classroom when I have peer editing or peer feedback assigned. Some of these factors will be hard to reach which is depressing.I think with practice, explaining expectations, a positive culture for my students we can overcome many of these factors but not all.
  • Over and over again, students rejected their own judgments of their work in favor of guessing how their teacher or professor would grade it.” (p. 168)
    • jhatcher
       
      I think this possibly comes from students experiencing many school years of teacher's not valuing their opinions. We have not asked students what they think about their learning near enough.
  • They also recommend that teachers share expectations for assignments and define quality. Showing students examples of effective and ineffective pieces of work can help to make those definitions real and relevant.

      I keep seeing this throughout my Ollie and Blended Learning classes! It is important and I will do more of this in my teaching next year.

ollie-afe-2020: Educational Leadership: The Quest for Quality--article - 7 views

  • Are results communicated in time to inform the intended decisions
    • jhatcher
       
      I have 140 students so it can take a while to get results back to them. I know the quicker I can get the results back in their hands, the more they care about their score and the assessment. They are more likely to want to fix mistakes and learn from it. If I take too long it has a negative impact on motivation. We have to correct quickly but correctly.

      This sounds very hard. I wish there were some examples of taking a typical teacher centered lesson and changing it up to include all these features.
  • You will use the model and examples to assist you in establishing a learning goal for this lesson, how to unpack the Common Core State Standards with your learners, design a warm-up activity that will engage specific learners based on the Class Learning Snapshot. You will also universally-design the new vocabulary along with guided and independent activities as the framework of the lesson.

      This seems very difficult to me. I wish there were some exmples of taking a teacher centered lesson and personalizing it as is explained here.

      This sticky note is suppose to be on the first article. Don't know why it shows up here! I can't seem to delete it! Sorry.

  • 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
    • jhatcher
       
      So true and hard not to "help" When I taught 5th grade Science it was fun for me in these type of inquiry lessons. It's different when teaching reading but still can be done when questioning vocabulary or evidence. How do you know is a common questions.
  • During this first instructional phase, noise and activity levels sometimes reach eardrum-piercing levels
    • jhatcher
       
      This is hard... as a teacher you may feel the class is out of control and crazy. I would feel a bit anxious during these times that my kids were so loud. This is a struggle even now.
  • each procedure needs to be practiced 28 times to stick.
    • jhatcher
       
      I have never seen 28 times for a procedure to stick before. I need to be more patient with my students because I know I expect them to understand quicker than this. I will keep this in mind.
  • lan assignments with choices.
    • jhatcher
       
      This is usually fairly easy to do. It seems like most things can be individualized somewhat. I really try to give my students options even if it is small. I think they appreciate it and like the power of some choice.

      I like this article because it helps you with change as slow or quick as you want it. This is very helpful

Create a personal learning environment with Symbaloo | Instructional Design Fusions - 0 views

  • Symbaloo is a visual, social bookmarking tool that makes it easy to access your personal knowledge management tools.
    • jhatcher
       
      After reading through this information, the designers were very explicit with the how to videos and directions. It seems very simple to use. I think my students could easily use this and create their own board of tiles.

  • teachers must pursue training and be knowledgeable of how to utilize PLEs

      I agree with the comment above wholeheartedly. I think this is what caused my genius hour plan to not be what I had hoped a couple years ago. I saw weak projects and kids not very motivated. This is what I want to make sure does not happen again. I just wonder will I really be prepared and confident? Will I have learned enough? Hope so!
  • Symbaloo or NetVibesas a foundation to help learners create and maintain their personal learning environments.

      I use Sybaloo and can definitely see how its use by students as they are creating/ learning in Personalized Learning would be useful.

"Personalized" vs. "Personal" Learning - 2 views

  • After decades of this approach, it is clear that all children don’t learn the same way and personalization seems to honor those differences.
    • jhatcher
       
      Educators know this and have for a long time. We know our students have changed. I'm so glad to be in this class but I do not feel my administrators will support this because it is not going to fit into their mold- I can statements, success criteria, evaluation. Personalized learing is different!
