It's really important that for certain activities, the camera is on since it is an activity based class. I cannot correct form if I can't see them doing it. For safety purposes, I need to see if they are doing the exercise correctly and in a safe manner.

If the kids know there is no grade attached, they won't do it.]]> 2020-10-21 20:03:59 UTC https://padlet.com/sjyoung2/5yp8cxh6nqc4blpk/wish/850286172 Kalani https://padlet.com/sjyoung2/5yp8cxh6nqc4blpk/wish/850288908 I give grace when it comes to assignments and always accept late work. I also listen and try to be understanding when they are having computer issues and will not let that impact their grade as long as they get the work done.]]> 2020-10-21 20:05:03 UTC https://padlet.com/sjyoung2/5yp8cxh6nqc4blpk/wish/850288908 Connections dsawyer9 https://padlet.com/sjyoung2/5yp8cxh6nqc4blpk/wish/850295957 Relationship building seems to be a must here and what we have been shooting for all along:
“Keep a growth mindset and “do no harm” philosophy front and center.”
“Make allowances for individual student circumstances which requires knowing students.”
“Be sensitive to students’ workload within and across classrooms.”

Have self reflection. Think about what they could change since we have had to change the WAY we teach means we need to CHANGE how things are graded. Have students reflection and provide feedback to teachers. ]]> 2020-10-21 20:22:55 UTC https://padlet.com/sjyoung2/5yp8cxh6nqc4blpk/wish/850336972 No work that can't be done during class time severely limits what can be done with development of writing. Limiting the grades for writing to on-demand is a terrible idea -- particularly for people who struggle with anxiety. https://padlet.com/sjyoung2/5yp8cxh6nqc4blpk/wish/850341507 2020-10-21 20:24:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sjyoung2/5yp8cxh6nqc4blpk/wish/850341507 I think the guideline take only some levels and subjects into consideration, as usual. https://padlet.com/sjyoung2/5yp8cxh6nqc4blpk/wish/850345905 2020-10-21 20:26:22 UTC https://padlet.com/sjyoung2/5yp8cxh6nqc4blpk/wish/850345905 Speaking and listening are traditionally dimensions of English curriculum and I do not think eliminating them as scorable elements is wise. Often this is measured through participation in a variety of ways https://padlet.com/sjyoung2/5yp8cxh6nqc4blpk/wish/850349887 2020-10-21 20:27:43 UTC https://padlet.com/sjyoung2/5yp8cxh6nqc4blpk/wish/850349887 Participation grades often pad the final grades. Without proper roll out (which is just not possible given this timeline) I'd expect grades overall to fall if it's eliminated. https://padlet.com/sjyoung2/5yp8cxh6nqc4blpk/wish/850355237 2020-10-21 20:29:53 UTC https://padlet.com/sjyoung2/5yp8cxh6nqc4blpk/wish/850355237 https://padlet.com/sjyoung2/5yp8cxh6nqc4blpk/wish/850358217 I think if this is the first step in rolling out mastery grading, it's not a great start and may hamstring future efforts.]]> 2020-10-21 20:31:06 UTC https://padlet.com/sjyoung2/5yp8cxh6nqc4blpk/wish/850358217 weighting should be considered carefully or abandoned. https://padlet.com/sjyoung2/5yp8cxh6nqc4blpk/wish/850396949 2020-10-21 20:46:29 UTC https://padlet.com/sjyoung2/5yp8cxh6nqc4blpk/wish/850396949 due dates should reflect the number of days students have to complete assignments. https://padlet.com/sjyoung2/5yp8cxh6nqc4blpk/wish/850397797 2020-10-21 20:46:54 UTC https://padlet.com/sjyoung2/5yp8cxh6nqc4blpk/wish/850397797 Classwork being okay but homework being not okay is kind of a contradiction until end of the semester... https://padlet.com/sjyoung2/5yp8cxh6nqc4blpk/wish/850399090 2020-10-21 20:47:27 UTC https://padlet.com/sjyoung2/5yp8cxh6nqc4blpk/wish/850399090 WLD: majority teachers: no HW assignments, most work is done in class, mbezeredy https://padlet.com/sjyoung2/5yp8cxh6nqc4blpk/wish/850399758 2020-10-21 20:47:44 UTC https://padlet.com/sjyoung2/5yp8cxh6nqc4blpk/wish/850399758 spend time to reflect on grading practices to ensure they are aligned with current situation and district guidelines https://padlet.com/sjyoung2/5yp8cxh6nqc4blpk/wish/850399845 2020-10-21 20:47:46 UTC https://padlet.com/sjyoung2/5yp8cxh6nqc4blpk/wish/850399845 oh so this is how commenting works... https://padlet.com/sjyoung2/5yp8cxh6nqc4blpk/wish/850402519 2020-10-21 20:48:54 UTC https://padlet.com/sjyoung2/5yp8cxh6nqc4blpk/wish/850402519 It seems like an elementary school teacher made this that doesn't understand high school courses. https://padlet.com/sjyoung2/5yp8cxh6nqc4blpk/wish/850406500 2020-10-21 20:50:30 UTC https://padlet.com/sjyoung2/5yp8cxh6nqc4blpk/wish/850406500 Syllabus https://padlet.com/sjyoung2/5yp8cxh6nqc4blpk/wish/850406873 What should we do if it does not match our syllabus]]> 2020-10-21 20:50:41 UTC https://padlet.com/sjyoung2/5yp8cxh6nqc4blpk/wish/850406873 Formative assessments are motivators for some kids.
