Student Learning Objectives Overview | Ohio Department of Education - 0 views

  • 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,

      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.

      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.

      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.

Gaming in Education | Auburn's Blog - 0 views

  • gaming plays a major role in many of our students’ lives
    • Jeremy Brueck
       
      So true, especially at the MS age.
  • we need to develop ways of integrating gaming and learning
    • Jeremy Brueck
       
      I agree. How can we make gaming in the classroom more legitimate? Do you think parents think that you are wasting valuable instruction time?
  • Most educators will agree with that there is a similarity between the skills you need to succeed in schools and needed for games.  These include problem solving skills, attention to detail, creativity, and persistence

      Very nice comment and a great way to back up your previous statement!

  • “game environments enable players to construct understanding actively, and at individual paces, and that well-designed games enable players to advance on different paths at different rates in response to each player’s interests and abilities, while also fostering collaboration and learning”
  • parents and teachers have many concerns including aligning games with content standards, an unfamiliarity with the games, designing assessment tools, lack of research-based methods, and the cost of equipment and other resources

      Nice overview of the counter point.
  • What message are we sending our students in regards to technology if our classrooms do not mirror the rest of the world.

      You raise an excellent question here, and it is a question, so it needs a ? at the end.
