  • students are looking at their work and judging the degree to which it reflects the goals of the assignment and the assessment criteria the teacher will be using to evaluate the work

      This is important for students to realize they have the role in their learning to improve. I like the idea of having the students use a rubric where they highlight the color they are understanding their objectives at.
  • It seems like the kind of skill that should be addressed in college.
    • tkofoot
      tkofoot on 27 Apr 20
       
      With the Covid 19 Pandemic, I would like to start addressing this with my students during Zooms. If they see they can self-assess to have multiple tries, then they may be more motivated to participate in online learning.
  • saw self-assessment as a vehicle for figuring out the teacher’s expectations.

      We need the students to change their view to also realize what their expectations are for themselves.

  • Most did not see the larger value of the skill they were developing

      This is what our goal is. If we give students the ability to self-assess at the beginning and through the course, then we hope they want to keep learning.
  • self-assessment need not necessarily be about self-grading
    • tkofoot
      tkofoot on 27 Apr 20
       
      This again makes me think of the green, yellow, red rubric style. It is a way to self-improve without attaching a grade. There will be some students that may not want to reach the end result, but most kids will.

ollie-afe-2020: Article: Attributes from Effective Formative Assessment (CCSSO) - 3 views

shared by leipoldc on 12 Apr 20 - No Cached
  • Formative assessment is a process used by teachers and students during instruction that provides feedback to adjust ongoing teaching and learning to improve students’ achievement of intended instructional outcomes
    • tkofoot
      tkofoot on 12 Apr 20
       
      Everything we do is to improve student achievement. This helps us going future instruction.
  • Formative assessment is not an adjunct to teaching but, rather, integrated into instruction and learning with teachers and students receiving frequent feedbac
    • tkofoot
      tkofoot on 12 Apr 20
       
      It is important to do this as students are doing work, having group discussion, and possibly by another adult that can step in the room. One person may observe learning or needs that another cannot.
  • In this type of classroom culture, students will more likely feel they are collaborators with their teacher and peers in the learning process.
    • tkofoot
      tkofoot on 12 Apr 20
       
      This collaboration is important. Students need to feel like they have respect and "own" their learning. I teach Special Ed, so I always give students a way to own their instruction and opportunities to improve.

  • 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
    • tkofoot
      tkofoot on 12 Apr 20
       
      This is an important statement. Students need to know the instructional goal. I do think this is missed. It is a good reminder for me moving forward. I feel like I do this, but what does that look like?

  • see as empowering
    • tkofoot
      tkofoot on 11 Apr 20
       
      I think the more kids understand our rubrics, then they do feel empowered. This is a positive for their learning.
  • using rubrics to establish “performance benchmarks” for the “behavioral objectives” appropriate to each year in the program
    • tkofoot
      tkofoot on 11 Apr 20
       
      Once these rubrics are established and used yearly, the instruction and learning targets are a lot more clear for the teacher. This is a positive for the engineering program.
  • rubrics are not without their critics
    • tkofoot
      tkofoot on 11 Apr 20
       
      I have a daughter that is a critic and I do understand her point. Her English teacher said her theme of a book was incorrect, yet she followed the rubric expectations. As teachers, we need to also listen when there is not a clear way to grade the material.

  • However, for the student to successfully use a rubric this way, the criteria must be made clear to them and the jargon used must not only be understandable to the student
    • tkofoot
      tkofoot on 11 Apr 20
       
      Clear and understandable jargon stood out to me as this is important if we expect the students to see rubrics as a way to self-assess themselves as they complete work.

  • At the end of the project they can choose how they will present their findings
    • tkofoot
      tkofoot on 01 Mar 20
       
      I think it is great the students will have a choice on how they want to present their project at the end. I do get feedback from students on what they prefer for projects and presenting them. They are different.
  • with one student working one way, another a different way—you get the picture.
    • tkofoot
      tkofoot on 01 Mar 20
       
      This is something I need to learn to get use to, a "disorganized" classroom. I do think it has to do with working in special ed so long. I have a hard time letting kids go as not all of them can handle it. I may need to try letting go a little, but with daily goal for tasks.
  • I would gather up the two paragraphs each student wrote and take them home to read, grade, and turn back in, with nobody else getting the chance to read them.
    • tkofoot
      tkofoot on 01 Mar 20
       
      I am learning a lot of different ways for presentation through the Ollie courses. I like that it doesn't have to be just a written response as this had been a barrier for some students in the past.

  • they loved doing it because it was a break from math!
    • tkofoot
      tkofoot on 01 Mar 20
       
      Math can be fun. The math teacher I work with tries to get the kids moving and doing activities other than pencil to paper. Kids benefit from seeing what math can look like in the real world, like creating a graph.

  • They might help a student get unstuck on a particular step that he hasn’t quite understood.

      I have used IXL math with students. I like how it shows students the correct way to complete the program.

    • tkofoot
      tkofoot on 28 Feb 20
       
      I think the word "tools" is important to point out. It is not instruction, but an additional resource.
  • the notion of adaptive learning technologies can be abused as a kind of magic incantation by the reductionists.
    • tkofoot
      tkofoot on 28 Feb 20
       
      Not only abused without enough extra teaching, but used as a whole education system. There are already teachers that turn students over to programs as a way to teach without any other type of interaction. I am not ready for this as a parent or teacher.

      The adaptive learning can help support learning and free up teachers to get around to more students that need individualized instruction.

  • describe a student moving through a prescribed set of activities at his own pace. The only choice a student gets is what box to check on the screen and how quickly to move through the exercises.
    • tkofoot
      tkofoot on 23 Feb 20
       
      This reminds me of the online courses I have observed students complete over the past few years.
  • When that happens, the structures around the classroom leave little room for the kind of authentic, whole-child personalization many teachers dream of offering.
    • tkofoot
      tkofoot on 23 Feb 20
       
      I know it is hard for me to give up structure with my Special Education students. This may be easier in personalized learning with students that have learned the skills to self-regulate and stay on task.
  • truly personalized learning experience requires student choice, is individualized, meaningful and resource rich.
    • tkofoot
      tkofoot on 23 Feb 20
       
      I think we have students that will be successful with this learning. Some students may not be prepared. How do we determine which students can be successful?

  • It’s as if engaging them in learning without technology has become this impossible task.
    • tkofoot

      I do not believe in just the Google classroom. I believe in engaging students with the community, books, and conversation.

  • Aligns assessment with course objectives (SREB I.3, Varvel VI.C, ITS 5.a)
    • tkofoot
      tkofoot on 23 Sep 19
       
      With my special education students, aligning assessments with objectives helps us determine what we really need to students to learn if they have modified curriculum.
  • Communicates with students effectively and consistently
    • tkofoot
      tkofoot on 23 Sep 19
       
      This is so important to help them help guide their instruction and increase their self-advocacy skills in their classes.
  • The course instruction includes activities that engage students in active learning
    • tkofoot
      tkofoot on 23 Sep 19
       
      We need to make sure we meet all learning styles, so active learning will help us observe if those skills are being understood.
