ollie4: Article: Attributes from Effective Formative Assessment (CCSSO) - 14 views

  • Because the formative assessment process helps students achieve intended learning outcomes based on explicit learning progressions, teachers must first identify and then communicate the instructional goal to students.
    • Sandy Kluver
       
      Explicit and communicate are the two words that jumped out at me in this sentence. Teachers need to be explicit and thoughtful with their planning and then students need to know what the intended goals are. It's hard to hit a moving target but if we do these two things our students should have success!
  • Students then need time to reflect on the feedback they have received to make changes or improvements.
    • Sandy Kluver
       
      I think it's easy to hand back our papers with our feedback on it and then we move on to the next topic. But we need to go one step further and ask students to think about how they can improve the assignment based on the feedback. This might just be a quick write to get the students thinking about improving their learning.

Building A Better Mousetrap: The Rubric Debate - 7 views

  • jargon used must not only be understandable to the student but also be linked specifically to classroom instruction.
    • Sandy Kluver
       
      I've seen rubrics that are hard to figure out as the teacher! The "jargon" has to be user friendly for all involved!
  • Clearly defining the purpose of assessment and what you want to assess is the first step in developing a quality rubric.
    • Sandy Kluver
       
      This is a straight forward comment but one that gets missed by teachers. I think sometimes I want to make sure I've covered everything in the rubric but I really need to focuse on the purpose and that will make my rubric better.
  • we need a meta-rubric to assess our rubric.
    • Sandy Kluver
       
      Wow!!

The Quest for Quality - Educational Leadership - 11 views

  • Clear Learning Targets
    • Sandy Kluver
       
      When I first read Stiggins and Chappius' works, it was clear that targets need to be static... not moving! We can't expect students to hit a moving target.

  • aim for the lowest possible reading leve
    • Sandy Kluver
       
      This really surprises me. I've never thought to write a test at the least possible reading level. With my ESL students, I always make sure the words aren't new to the students but hadn't thought about the level I was writing the test at.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • Use a reading score from a state accountability test as a diagnostic instrument for reading group placement.
    • Sandy Kluver
       
      hmmm... we do this for Instructional Decision Making groups in Carroll. It's only one piece of the puzzle, but at the beginning of the year, we rely on the ITBS Reading Comp score to place students into groups.

  • Collaboration made simple
    • Sandy Kluver
       
      This is the best collaboration site I've seen! My students have really enjoyed responding to pictures and creating their own.
  •  
    A website where students can post comments about any topic an instructor creates.
