Clarification Needed: EC, K, 1 by https://padlet.com/heidi_fitch/Bookmarks ELA Frameworks & Assessments en-us 2016-09-30 16:38:51 UTC 2016-10-04 21:25:43 UTC hello@padlet.com End goal.  What do we need to accomplish.  Are we working on lessons and resources or assessments. https://padlet.com/heidi_fitch/Bookmarks/wish/128167234
We are writing summative assessments. All of our units need one. As soon as the summatives are done, we will start on a performance assessment for a unit your team chooses.]]> 2016-10-04 13:50:15 UTC https://padlet.com/heidi_fitch/Bookmarks/wish/128167234 How does personalized learning look like in kindergarten in ELA? https://padlet.com/heidi_fitch/Bookmarks/wish/128167263
Good question. Real personalized learning happens when a student can choose what they want to learn, and how they want to show what they know. This actually isn't as much as a freefall as it sounds. Example: If you are testing reading comprehension, let them choose the book based on their interest. Then let them show what they learned through a method of their choice.]]> 2016-10-04 13:50:18 UTC https://padlet.com/heidi_fitch/Bookmarks/wish/128167263 I would love examples of performance assessment for ELA in kindergarten. https://padlet.com/heidi_fitch/Bookmarks/wish/128167602
We'll get there soon.]]> 2016-10-04 13:50:56 UTC https://padlet.com/heidi_fitch/Bookmarks/wish/128167602 What is the budget for buying apps that support ELA learning https://padlet.com/heidi_fitch/Bookmarks/wish/128168230
This falls under David Freeburg's responsibilities. Do you have a specific app in mind? If you find something you want, email him the link and tell him why you want it. He'll check the budget, and the technical side to it and will get back to you. Feel free to copy me on that email. :)]]> 2016-10-04 13:52:03 UTC https://padlet.com/heidi_fitch/Bookmarks/wish/128168230 kathy_vehmeier https://padlet.com/heidi_fitch/Bookmarks/wish/128168467 EC needs more clarity on Kindergarten expectations to help us align/review our writing 

Michelle is working on writing with the Coaches currently, and should be tieing her work into ours along the way

Pick one or two learning targets, then call me over to your group and let's brainstorm.]]> 2016-10-04 13:52:50 UTC https://padlet.com/heidi_fitch/Bookmarks/wish/128168643 Wondering about the ELA funds from the summer?   https://padlet.com/heidi_fitch/Bookmarks/wish/128169379
Can you explain what you mean?]]> 2016-10-04 13:54:20 UTC https://padlet.com/heidi_fitch/Bookmarks/wish/128169379 How do we tackle 4c's in our units/address it? alyson_heelan https://padlet.com/heidi_fitch/Bookmarks/wish/128170229 We'll start tackling this through our performance assessment. Hopefully, this will easily find its way into daily instruction. :)]]> 2016-10-04 13:56:05 UTC https://padlet.com/heidi_fitch/Bookmarks/wish/128170229 GREAT examples of formative assessments for us!  THANK YOU! https://padlet.com/heidi_fitch/Bookmarks/wish/128204932
You are so welcome. I love this work.]]> 2016-10-04 15:07:07 UTC https://padlet.com/heidi_fitch/Bookmarks/wish/128204932 Can you share more about the 'data folders'?  I'm intrigued. https://padlet.com/heidi_fitch/Bookmarks/wish/128205380
Start small. Decide what you want your students to measure. Possiblilities . . . Number of Letter Sounds Mastered. Design a sheet on which the student can record their data. 

1. A sheet of letters they color in when they master the sound.

OR

2. Bar graph indicating how many letters have been mastered each week. They can set goals to see the next bar get taller than the previous one.

The key is to get them to track SOMETHING about their learning. It helps them self monitor and self realize their learning journey.

Come talk to me if you want to brainstorm other ideas.]]> 2016-10-04 15:08:12 UTC https://padlet.com/heidi_fitch/Bookmarks/wish/128205380
