  • deliberate thought about what they are learning and how they are learning it.

      Again, I think self-assessment is key. As we move towards SBG, I have built in self-assessing on almost everyone on of my rubrics in order to see where a student thinks they are v where I think they are.
  • Students individually assess each other's contribution using a predetermined list of criteria. Grading is based on a predetermined process, but most commonly it is an average of the marks awarded by members of the group.

      I always struggle with peer grading. I feel as if the students are never "hard" enough on other students the way that I would be when I am grading as a teacher. With that said, I think that if you build in norms and go over things as a class so they can see how you would do it, it may help.
  • introduce students to the concepts and elements of assessment against specified criteria in the first weeks of class

      I think this is key for class and for students to be able to see what they are being assessed in. What is the secret? Don't we as educators want our students to do well? I have been in the process of making posters for each of my classes and units that I hang up when we start a new unit. These posters have the standards, main ideas, and key assessment strategies.

  • self-assessment as an opportunity for students to reflect on their own work

      Wow, I couldn't agree more. I don't want students to grade themselves because they won't grade themselves the same way that I will. However, I would direct them to self assess and use the same rubric the way that I would in order to build on the ideas that I am looking for and how they can better themselves.
  • I have mixed feelings about peer evaluations, leaning towards not using peer reviews as part of the assessment strategy. I wonder if the concept of peer evaluation is exclusive to higher education institutions

      I agree. I have tried full on peer assessing in high school before and it never really works the way I want them to

      This is how I get my students excited about inquiries. They get to play detective and have fun with the information that they are diving into.
  • in increasingly sophisticated ways
    • kylelehman
      kylelehman on 18 Apr 19
       
      This is where I allow my students to work on their own and really challenge themselves. This idea that a student can progress on their own gives them a sense of ownership and ability to make their own path.
  • provide an explanation

      I love this! I do something similar when it comes to quick writes in my class. The first quick write that we do, I take a great, a good, and a needs work. I post all three of them (without names) and then go over why we think as a class each got the score they did. Great way to build skills.

      Self-reflection is huge! Now that we are moving towards SBG, I have tried working in more and more self-reflection into my rubrics. I want them thinking about what they did. On all my essays, they go through the rubric first and determine their score and add comments as to why they think they should get that score and then I go in after and grade and we can sort of compare.

  • broader and more ambitious
    • kylelehman
      kylelehman on 10 Apr 19
       
      This is so true. The objectives are changing and sometimes they are changing in a way that we don't know how to assess them correctly

      100%. It is the expectation now that all of our assignments and work have some sort of rubric. Now, it doesn't have to be super detailed but the goal is that students know what they are trying to achieve
  • explicitly delineate the qualities of thought that they are looking for
    • kylelehman
      kylelehman on 10 Apr 19
       
      This is key I believe. This is also the #1 problem I see with rubrics today. Instructors need to know every detail of what they are looking for in order to make a rubric work out. With that said, sometimes you think of things late and that makes it hard to get them in the rubric

      I have seen this happen before as well. The way that I look at it, there needs to be an aspect of the rubric that discusses that pieces of evidence from class need to be included.

  • common assessments.
    • kylelehman
      kylelehman on 29 Mar 19
       
      I totally agree with this statement that we are assessing more than ever before. I don't think that it has to be a bad thing. However, I could see from a student's point of view that it could be overkill if they don't understand why.
  • inform what decisions?
    • kylelehman
      kylelehman on 29 Mar 19
       
      This has been a large debate that we have been having at our district. We need some sort of feedback roll out that will say how we have managed the data and what the data is and will be used for.

      This has been another large debate that we have had. We want to make sure that our assessments are given back in a timely manner but we also want to make sure that they have correct and accurate feedback as well as to help the student know what they did well and where to improve and all of that takes time.

  • Summative applications
    • kylelehman
      kylelehman on 29 Mar 19
       
      I think that this becomes more and more important as we look into SBG. Summatives are what tell you the story of how the students mastered something and if you want to see the evidence along the way, that becomes the formatives.

  • Communicates with students effectively and consistently
    • kylelehman
      kylelehman on 11 Feb 19
       
      Always important in a teaching situation but maybe even more important in an online class. The students need to know where you stand and what needs to be done as well as who to go to for questions. The communication is key for all those moving parts to work together.
  • Maintains an online social presence that is available, approachable, positive, interactive, and sincere
    • kylelehman
      kylelehman on 11 Feb 19
       
      Obviously, if you expect your students to be active and present, you should be too. This is not only good for building camaraderie but also building support and allowing them to know who to go to if they have questions. Building relationships isn't just for face-to-face rooms.
  • • Understands student motivation and uses techniques to engage students (Varvel V.D, ITS 4.d)

      kylelehman on 11 Feb 19
       
      I think this is a really big idea when you are thinking of teaching courses for high schoolers that may lack that motivation. Changing up different methods and things like that help to keep them motivated to continue in the course.

      I like this one a lot. I think that a lot of teachers do these things in the classroom (building skills, scaffolding, etc) but then sometimes lose that ability a little bit in the online platform.
