It would be great to have a common language and common expectations for writing across the grade levels.  If we decide to adopt a particular writing assessment, let's make sure that it is a tool that the teachers find useful, friendly to use and doesn't take away from classroom teaching.  The FPs, while useful, requires one teacher to be out of the room early in the school year for a considerable amount of time.  We would need to figure out when to score said writing assessments, like a Tuesday afternoon for example, and add those days to the calendar.

Super important. Essential in helping our learners experience greater success and progress academically.

It was tricky to look at student writing without knowing what the writing assignment was, and being confined to try to assess only one trait

I learned that as children are learning to write, just as in other areas of development, as they focus on one skill they often forget to hang on to and include other skills that they've learned.

We are more aligned than what we think.  Conversations are absolutely great.  Hopefully, grade levels are having these conversations and tweaking the writing curriculum for their grade level.

* It would be valuable to explore together how we approach writing prompts and projects.
* I think it's a little bit dangerous to think too much about writing without considering the context within a unit of inquiry/social studies... so I hope we'll have a chance to think more together about how to create transdisciplinary projects that include writing!

Interesting how your opinion of a piece changes depending on when (during the school year) the piece was written.

I learned that we would definitely benefit from conversations between the the grade levels, because we have varying levels of expectations and ideas about writing.

Common assessments are still subjective, so adopting a rubric across the whole LS would not ensure commonality.

This brought home to me the idea that the particular RUBRIC doesn't matter- it is the conversation and shared looking and discussing of student work that helps us as teachers in our practice. I have the sense that any rubric would frustrate someone (if not everyone in a group) but again- it would serve its purpose. The point is to have some common language and way to assess student work...and to see the progression from grade to grade....

We are looking for much of the same things in the writing of our students

# data[].attributes.headline
I learned that it is helpful to see the scope of students' writing as well as hear expectations of various grade levels.  It is challenging to focus on one aspect of the rubric and not acknowledge other strong or weak aspects of the writing.

I would like to know more about the assignments that generated these writing pieces and what the teaching points were for each of them.
Common assessments would help to clarify expectations across the grade level and to create a starting point for differentiation across the grade level.

Isn't hard to do these?? To be objective?? I would like a course on how to do these well. I'm also excited for all the upcoming holiday movies!!! Any recommendations?

What have I learned?
* My group was fairly well-aligned.
* When it comes to teaching writing, the rubric we use matters. When it comes to doing a tuning protocol like this one, the specific rubric matters less--as even a poor one provides food for conversation.
* Prompts matter!
