  • Selects and uses technologies appropriate to the content that enhance learning
    • Val Rosenthal
       
      This has been a challenge for me. I feel like I'm always looking for the best technologies to enhance my content but they change so fast that it is difficult to be committed to one. I continue to read blogs and other math posts to learn more about math technologies.

Article(s): Self- and Peer-Assessment Online - 1 views

  • Students do not learn to monitor or assess their learning on their own; they need to be taught strategies for self monitoring and self assessment.
    • Val Rosenthal
       
      I have this conversation with students so they can self evaluate if they know what their supposed to know. I often find that students are waiting for the teacher to tell them rather than figure it out. So it is one of my goals to design ways that students will self assess on their lessons.
  • lift the role and status of the student from passive learner to active leaner and assessor
    • Val Rosenthal
       
      It is important for students to become active in their learning and to not just sit there and be spoon fed by the teacher. If the student is involved in their learning, they will understand it better and have the desire to improve.
  • the loafers— students that cannot provide feedback due to the lack of necessary skills, whether it be education background or language.
    • Val Rosenthal
       
      Peer grading or assessing would be difficult in a group of students who do not have the skills to provide useful feedback. This could be true at my school which is very diverse in language and culture.

  • Students in this sample reported that their attitudes toward self-assessment became more positive as their experiences with the process accumulated.
    • Val Rosenthal
       
      It seems obvious to me that as students would become more experienced in the expectations and process of self-assessment, that their attitudes about it would improve.
  • this method seems geared to identifying any ‘slackers’ or those who sit on the side lines through the entire project, with minimal contributions.
    • Val Rosenthal
       
      I could see where students would use peer evaluation as a means to judge who contributed to the project or not. It doesn't seem too valid. Depending on who's in your group, who you like, or who you don't like; not who helped learn something.

  • First, you must decide whether you need a rubric.
    • Val Rosenthal
       
      I agree that this would have to be the first question. Ask if it is really the best way to assess a student's work. I can see where it would be detrimental it a rubric was used all of the time.
  • In short, well-designed rubrics help instructors in all disciplines meaningfully assess the outcomes of the more complicated assignments that are the basis of the problem-solving, inquiry-based, student-centered pedagogy replacing the traditional lecture-based, teacher-centered approach in tertiary education.
    • Val Rosenthal
       
      I highlighted this sentence because it made me laugh and I had to read it several times. It starts out "In short" and then proceeds to use many educational words as possible in one sentence. It understand what it is saying but not right away.
  • unfortunately, most state issued rubrics used in secondary school standardized testing are poorly designed rubrics that list specific static elements encouraging students to simply make sure their essays have those features.
    • Val Rosenthal
       
      Isn't it sad that rubric that are state issued often are poorly designed. I can see where students that are good at playing the numbers game as school and doing what it says will have a difficult time expressing themselves on non-rubric assessments.

ollie-afe-2020: Educational Leadership: The Quest for Quality--article - 7 views

  • But NCLB has exposed students to an unprecedented overflow of testing.
    • Val Rosenthal
       
      too many tests; students get anxiety when taking a test
  • the use of multiple measures does not, by itself, translate into high-quality evidence.
    • Val Rosenthal
       
      more tests doesn't necessarily produce good results
  • Students learn best when they monitor and take responsibility for their own learning.
    • Val Rosenthal
       
      Education has to make this happen more. I'd like to find a good way for them to monitor their learning.

  • assessment-literate teachers
    • Val Rosenthal
       
      I really don't seem to have a good background on assessment and would like to be assessment-literate.
