Let Students Request Feedback or Evaluation? | Shifting Phases
https://shiftingphases.com/2015/04/24/let-students-request-feedback-or-evaluation
Let Students Request Feedback or Evaluation? April 24, 2015 in Assessment. Grades are not the point. I’m thinking about how to make assessments even lower stakes. The upside of requiring practise problems. So they won’t have to do any practise. That, of course, sours our classroom culture and makes it harder for them to think well. I’m considering a couple of options. One is, when they write a quiz, to ask them whether they are submitting it to be evaluated or just for feedback. Another option is simply ...

Math, PrBL, and SBG. October 26, 2012 / Jeff d. Using Flubaroo to Update Students on Their SBG Progress. So I can’t directly use the gradebook for this. (For example, even though I label all of my assignments according to the concept, I still have to score them on a 10 point scale). Anyway, here is what it can look like with Flubaroo. Open the spreadsheet. It’ll look like this:. You can add more standards to the right of this column and repeat. When you’re done, have Flubaroo grade it. The e-mail looks l...

High school math teacher in nyc interested in school transformation, math for social justice, equity/inclusion and grading reform. Planning for accelerated precalculus. I’m working on developing the standards for the course, and I’m using the model of “performance indicators” and “learning targets” I grew familiar with when I worked at a mastery-based learning school in New Haven. For background, see the Great Schools Partnership’s document Proficiency-Based Learning Simplified. Short and long versions).

https://jdevarona.wordpress.com/2012/07/15/how-do-we-grade-grading-and-reporting-in-a-pblprbl-math-class
Math, PrBL, and SBG. July 15, 2012 / Jeff d. How Do We Grade? 8211; Grading and Reporting in a PBL/PrBL Math Class. Assessing Mastery with Cooperative Learning:. So our school uses all PBL and PrBL, working through complex problems and projects in small groups. So how are we supposed to assess. Well, the only time we work individually is when we need to demonstrate content knowledge (i.e. a quiz or other form of assessment). So what does that look like in my math classroom? 3 Last year I used BlueHarvest.

Teacher: Summer School Lessons
http://ateachernamederin.blogspot.com/2011/07/summer-school-lessons.html
I'm a High School English teacher in Edmonton, Alberta. Always trying to be better. Sunday, July 31, 2011. I just finished my first Summer School class ever, and let me tell you, it was one of the best teaching experiences I've ever had. I realized a few days ago that my favourite class is usually whichever class is in front of me, and this last class was no exception. What I want to quickly jot down here are my personal highlights about this last month of teaching. There were 9 students in class. 9 stud...

A brand new line. I have high expectations and it’s all your fault. June 15, 2011. I have spent the better part of the last two years reading your blogs. I have talked to you on twitter. I have chatted with you on g-chat. I have called you on the phone. I have used materials you generate in my classroom. Such a good plan. So at this point I’m annoyed with these people and I don’t want to participate but I do like the hands on cool stuff we are doing. So I think, “fine, I can get beh...Well it’s not...
