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

  • teachers and students receiving frequent feedback
    • Deena Stanley-Dostart
       
      Sometimes feedback has a tendency to be one sided. It is good to see that both teacher and student should have feedback so that both can adjust.
  • the teacher clarifies the goal for the student, provides specific information about where the student is in relation to meeting the criteria,
    • Deena Stanley-Dostart
       
      Just saying "good job" or "needs work" does not help a student. Specifics are important.
  • their responsibility and that they can take an active role in planning, monitoring, and evaluating their own progress
    • Deena Stanley-Dostart
       
      I think that this ties in with a student centered classroom. Students are responsible for their learning and not just relying on the teacher to be the sole provider of feedback.

  • form a significant part of the undergraduate engineering curriculum
    • Deena Stanley-Dostart
       
      Engineering is a field that is all about applying what is learned, from building roads to building bridges. I can see how rubrics can be used to score performance based projects.
  • problem-solving, inquiry-based, student-centered
    • Deena Stanley-Dostart
       
      Everything that Iowa core is focusing on.
  • state mandated testing
    • Deena Stanley-Dostart
       
      I am not sure what state mandated test in Iowa uses a rubric. ITED does not use one to my knowledge.

  • A search on Google will list hundreds (of thousands) of sites
    • Deena Stanley-Dostart
       
      Sure there are thousands of sites, but are all of them "good". You still need to determine if it is a quality product.
  • Or you can build your own rubric from scratch
    • Deena Stanley-Dostart
       
      This is something that I am not comfortable at all with. I took one class in college that required one rubric for a project and that was the last I even heard of the term rubric for 1o years. My math classes did not use rubrics to assess so this is new territory for me.

ollie1roberts: Iowa Online Teaching Standards - 24 views

  • Continuously uses data to evaluate the accuracy and effectiveness of instructional strategies
    • Deena Stanley-Dostart
       
      This concept is nothing new. Everything we do is or should be driven by data.
  • Applies research, knowledge, and skills from professional growth to improve practice
    • Deena Stanley-Dostart
       
      I think this is very important since technology is always changing and it is important for educators to try to stay current.
  • Provides substantive, timely, and constructive feedback to students
    • Deena Stanley-Dostart
       
      Timely feedback is very important for students. But when you have 150 students, how do you make it work?

  • Is knowledgeable and has the ability to use computer programs required in online education to improve learning and teaching
    • Deena Stanley-Dostart
       
      I feel it is very important that teachers are knowledgable of the programs that they use. The problem is that sometimes, there is no time for training and getting help with new programs. Teachers often have to figure it out on their own.

ollie4: Educational Leadership: The Quest for Quality - 5 views

  • groups of students
    • Deena Stanley-Dostart
       
      Our distirct is really focused on SES and IEP students since that is where our lowest ITED scores are.
  • unprecedented overflow of testing
    • Deena Stanley-Dostart
       
      Our department had to create a math assessment that would test what the average 10th grader should know. Then we were told the test should be about what all 10th graders should know. We have spent countless hours debating, rewriting and trying to come up with methods on how to help our students that are not proficient on the test.
  • In math
    • Deena Stanley-Dostart
       
      This is the first time I have actually seen a math example when discussing assessment. Usually the examples I see are for english or social studies.

  • which require students to use their knowledge to reason and problem solve
    • Deena Stanley-Dostart
       
      This is an area that I am currently working on. I am trying to come up with more projects so that students can apply what they are learning.
