 ]]> 2016-10-12 18:51:17 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/defproficiency/wish/130248485 I use to think proficiency would be hard to determine but now I think providing the common language, defining it and sticking to it will help calibrate some.  rward_downer https://padlet.com/llaughlin/defproficiency/wish/130248514 Fish bowl activity was a great tool to analyze the purpose of an activity. Still need more strategies to help others define proficiency.

I now think that more must be done in regard to teacher preparation to refocus educational practice in K-12 education]]> 2016-10-12 18:51:36 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/defproficiency/wish/130248602 I used to think defining proficiency would be simpler, and a matter of sharing a common language. But, now I think we need to have deeper conversations, make sure teachers have the background knowledge in the three circles, and provide more opportunities to collaborate and give each other feedback. https://padlet.com/llaughlin/defproficiency/wish/130248614 2016-10-12 18:51:38 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/defproficiency/wish/130248614 Feedback https://padlet.com/llaughlin/defproficiency/wish/130248637 This is my third session this year with Linda and I've really enjoyed them. I admit to being a bit overwhelmed with all of this, but every session I learn more and become more comfortable.

]]> 2016-10-12 18:51:41 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/defproficiency/wish/130248637 I used to think it was my job to educate all students. https://padlet.com/llaughlin/defproficiency/wish/130248646 Now I think that learning  is collaborative and choice centered. The student with teacher "focus" can meet learning targets, Habits of mind...
