      This seems pretty important. As a teacher, are you ready/prepared to do this? Why or why not?
  • this approach forces students to take ownership in their own learning and encourages students to explore the many uses of mobile technology as an avenue for further learning

  • I believe that “crowd learning” is an important part of our educational society today.

      Why do you believe this? Explain your thinking here.
    • Rebecca Rhoads
      Rebecca Rhoads on 15 Oct 13
       
      I believe that we learn by solving life's puzzles and we can do that by communicating and learning from our peers. Students would be able to grow at their own pace.
  • This would allow the students to be more independent by learning more information and taking charge of their own life.
  • They would be more intrinsic learners.

  • As a teacher, I would give students the resources to look up information this could be a web, different sites to look at, or just ways to organize their information.
    • Jeremy Brueck
      Jeremy Brueck on 23 Sep 13
       
      This is a good start to thinking about how you might apply crowd learning to your classroom. What other ways could you incorporate it?
    • Rebecca Rhoads
      Rebecca Rhoads on 15 Oct 13
       
      I could also incorporate a real world problem and have the students create different solutions to solve it. This would allow for them to research the problem and think of diff ways to solve it. Then they could apply it to a challenge they might be facing to get more info before making a decision.
  • Gregory Freund created an interactive program called Versal-interactive-online-courses.

      Interesting. I have never heard of this. I will have to check it out.
  • While it incorporates a different learning style which is more student centered, there is still a role for the instructor as a guide. Teachers can still help facilitate and guide learners to better outcomes.
    • Jeremy Brueck

      This is a key point here and a big shift for teachers to make. Now a guide on the side rather than a sage on the stage.

student learning objectives ohio educator evaluations growth

shared by khjones85 on 20 Oct 13 - No Cached
  • A Student Learning Objective (SLO) is a measurable, long-term academic growth target that a teacher sets at the beginning of the year for all students or for subgroups of students. SLOs demonstrate a teacher’s impact on student learning within a given interval of instruction based upon baseline data gathered at the beginning of the course.
  • High-quality SLOs state clearly which students are included in the learning objective, how growth will be measured over what time period, and why that level of growth should be expected of those students. High-quality SLOs include the following:
  • The SLO data should summarize student information, identify student strengths and weaknesses,
  • ...4 more annotations...
    • khjones85
      khjones85 on 20 Oct 13
       
      By identifying strengths and weaknesses ahead of time, teachers can make sure they are addressing their students's needs.  We do this already as teachers, but this is considered part of your "baseline" data when creating SLOs.
  • Every student should be covered by at least one SLO to ensure that no group of students is overlooked.
    • khjones85
      khjones85 on 20 Oct 13
       
      Reaching all students is extremely important, and maybe even more so now with the 3rd Grade Reading Guarantee.  I am seeing in my school that a lot of time and energy is being spent by the administration trying to address the needs of the struggling students.  We must continue to think of ways to push all students to meet their full academic potential.
  • High-quality SLOs include strong justifications for why the goal is important and achievable for this group of students. Rationales should draw upon assessment data, student outcomes, and curriculum standards.
    • khjones85
      khjones85 on 20 Oct 13
       
      Just like we try to make sure to identify a clear purpose for a students, we have to make sure we're staying true to our purpose as teachers when planning lessons and assessments for students.
  • Teachers using best practices already follow an informal SLO process: They set goals for their students, use data to assess student progress and adjust their instruction based upon that progress. Thus, the SLO process provides teachers with ways to formalize their teaching practice, give input on how student learning will be measured and how they will be evaluated.
