self assessment

  • Student Created Rubrics: Ask students to contribute to the creation of a rubric that defines success. A reading response task, a multi-modal presentation, or a group discussion leads to higher levels of learning when students are included in defining success. Learning Contract: Ask students to create and agree to a learning contract at the beginning of a unit. The learning contract can define the learning goals, the "photo album" of evidence of learning, and agreed upon activities. At numerous times during the unit, ask students to revisit the contract, record new learning or muddy points and to get feedback from you or other peers. Muddy Point Board: Designate an area in the room or a board for students to pin questions, muddy points, or topics they'd like the class to revisit. Asking students to periodically pick a question or comment from the board to discuss can build student ownership of learning.

  • “As kids are creating projects like this, they’re learning to code, but even more importantly, they’re coding to learn. Because as they learn to code, it enables them to learn many other things, opens up many new opportunities for learning. Again, it’s useful to make an analogy to reading and writing. When you learn to read and write, it opens up opportunities for you to learn so many other things. When you learn to read, you can then read to learn. And it’s the same thing with coding. If you learn to code, you can code to learn. Now some of the things you can learn are sort of obvious. You learn more about how computers work. But that’s just where it starts. When you learn to code, it opens up for you to learn many other things.”

    Teaching isn't easy. All too often educators are asked to achieve high goals with meager resources and distracted students. No technology alone can improve learning, but an intimate partnership between educational institutions and technology developers can. Our mission is to empower you-to give you the tools and connections to engage students more efficiently and improve educational effectiveness on both a large and small scale. Schoology isn't just an LMS. It's a living, breathing educational community that can adjust to changing student needs, learn from collective experiences, and continually improve as education and technology advance. We strive to provide an unparalleled educational experience that improves student outcomes by providing educators information and insights that were never before possible. Schoology hopes not only to illuminate why particular students learn the way they do, but also to provide support and personalized content that is tailored to them. Schoology is transforming learning through the collaboration of passionate individuals. We're on a unique journey, and this is just the beginning.

    active-learning-harvard Some students at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill have been improving their test scores by more than 3 percentage points on average in the past year, and it's largely the result of a Harvard-created software that emphasizes active learning. The software, which is called Learning Catalytics, was implemented by Professor Kelly Hogan, the Director of Instructional Innovation for the College of Arts and Sciences and the Senior Lecturer in the Biology Department, in her non-majors Biology class in the fall of 2013."

    Mission: Club Academia strives to organize existing knowledge in ways that make learning easily accessible while simultaneously inspiring people to discover and innovate. Since its founding, Club Academia has provided supplemental instruction to students who are struggling with a particular concept and are looking for further explanation. We recognize that often fellow students can most easily help peers understand difficult classroom material. Starting with only four high schoolers uploading videos to a YouTube account, Club Academia has expanded nearly exponentially, currently with 17 video makers and over 500 videos on our website. With the help of the $20,000 Westly Prize grant, we are able to provide equipment for our video-makers and thus create a strong video base. As a result, we are able to expand into more schools and recruit more volunteers to make high-quality videos for our learners!

  • An educational leader today is one who, regardless of title, exhibits the following ten traits: -          Willingness to learn new things -          Committed to providing an excellent learning environment for those you are responsible for in your classroom, school or district -          Looks to motivate those you have immediate contact with and those outside your traditional circle of influence -          Continually self-evaluates your own place in the educational structure and adapts for the betterment of education -          Keeps a focus on what’s most important; students and their learning
  • Continually engages in professional development to improve your own knowledge and skills -          Develops and expands a professional learning network through connections and collaboration in social media -          Works to develop other educational leaders in the classroom, school office and central office -          Helps developing and new educators find their way so that they too can one day lead -          Gives back to the profession

  • The National Council of English Teachers (NCTE) position statement on teaching composition argues that students “need guidance and support throughout the writing process, not merely comments on the written product,” and that “effective comments do not focus on pointing out errors, but go on to the more productive task of encouraging revision” (CCCC 2004).
  • feedback serves as a pedagogical tool to improve learning by motivating students to rethink and rework their ideas rather than simply proofread and edit for errors.
  • “feedback should focus on improving the skills needed for the construction of end products more than on the end products themselves”

  • By talking to students and reading their work aloud, instructors can engage students on an interpersonal level that is absent in written comments.
  • comparison between feedback forms within one class is to use both forms to respond to the same type of assignment
