Article(s): Self- and Peer-Assessment Online - 0 views

  • lift the role and status of the student from passive learner to active leaner and assessor
    • pnbolton
       
      A colleague told me he has his students use the rubric to first grade their assignment, and then they turn in their project. I want to start doing this so students can justify/defend or change their work before they turn it in. I have always provided a rubric but a lot of times kids don't look at it until after.
  • Students will have a tendency to award everyone the same mark.
    • pnbolton
       
      I have found this issue of my students giving everyone 100% or being overly harsh on the students. I need to take time to teach my kids how to correctly assess.
  • reflect

      If i had to take a keyword away from my latest PD and this class is REFLECT REFLECT REFLECT. The students need to take responsibility of their learning and reflect how they did, what they learned, and how they can use it.

      I believe learned needs to be open to feedback and know that no one is out to hurt or target them but help them grow in their learning
  • These students reported that their ability to self-assess depended on knowing what the teacher expected
    • pnbolton
       
      This is why clear expectations and rubrics are so important so students know exactly what is expected and needed.

  • adjust ongoing teaching and learning to improve students’ achievement of intended instructional outcomes.
    • pnbolton
       
      I have a wide range of students (freshmen- seniors) in the majority of my classes and I sometimes struggle to differentiate for so many different groups.
  • collecting evidence
    • pnbolton
       
      At Knoxville we use Canvas and I love the features they have to get the evidence and quick feedback.

  • The term was adopted by educators in the 1980s to refer to a set of standards and/or directions for assessing student outcomes and guiding student learning.
    • pnbolton
       
      I try to create my rubrics to be in student friendly language that my students can refer to for clear guidelines and directions! I want them to know what they need to show/ what they are being assessed over!
  • serve as guidelines
    • pnbolton
       
      I like the term guidelines, so when my students ask "What are we doing?, what's supposed to go here?, etc." I can say lets look at the rubric and see what it says or what are the guidelines needed so they can refer to it!
  • formula
    • pnbolton
       
      There are some students who thrive in being creative and making their own path, but I also have students who want to know the number of words and number of sources and they thrive in the "formula" of the rubric.

      I love using FCCLA rubrics that have been created for FCS and if anything it gives me a good starting point! No need to recreate the wheel!

  • department or grade-level common assessments
    • pnbolton
       
      I am the only FCS teacher at Knoxville High School and we are looking to switch to standards based grading. I am having to switch over my 7 courses as a solo teacher and it is hard to not have that team to bounce ideas off of or help create the course rubrics.
  • The purpose is to inform others—policymakers, program planners, supervisors, teachers, parents, and the students themselves—about the overall level of students' performance.
    • pnbolton
       
      I believe clear criteria is going to be the most helpful for when my courses are switched over to standards based. I want my students to know exactly what they are expected to learn and assessed on. In doing this they then can effectively reflect back on their learning and assess their own learning.

      I like how this figure shows what test questions link to specific learning targets and points awarded. If a student were to pass 3 of the 4 learning targets then we know that they need more time with one specific learning target. We can then spend time relearn concepts so they can reassess and show their learning again.

  • A grade of D+
    • pnbolton
       
      When it comes to grades and feedback, I believe their needs to also be a mindset change in students and parents. A lot of time students ask me what grade they received, and they determine if they are okay with that percentage before taking time to look at feedback and look at the learning that has happened. I will need to change the conversation from "What grade did I get" to "Did I sufficiently meet the learning target and provide evidence of my learning"
  • Teachers should design the assessment so students can use the results to self-assess and set goals.
    • pnbolton
       
      We are currently doing a book study on assessments and they stated that your classroom should be 80/20. 80% reflection and 20% concepts. I am not sure if I agree with this breakdown but I do know I will need to take time to teach my students how to properly self assess and reflect.

  • Utilizes a course evaluation and student feedback data to improve the course
    • pnbolton
       
      I think getting feedback from my students will be very important. When I finally teach a fully online course, I know I will make mistakes and hearing from my students what work and what doesn't will be very important!
  • Identifies and communicates learning outcomes and expectations through a course overview/orientation
    • pnbolton
       
      I believe a strong intro or syllabus is very important in an online learning environment. The thing I like about online is that students can work at their own pace, and keeping deadlines or guidelines is helpful in helping students succeed.
