And then because we connect achievement to intelligence, we think that white and Asian students are intellectually superior to black and Latinx ones. People who think this way then point to the test scores as empirical evidence of their claim.” -- KQED Mindshift https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/54999/how-ibram-x-kendis-definition-of-antiracism-applies-to-schools cslusher https://padlet.com/cslusher/6jq2wm0k8vkgkebz/wish/1775593736 2021-09-28 18:18:52 UTC https://padlet.com/cslusher/6jq2wm0k8vkgkebz/wish/1775593736 Business https://padlet.com/cslusher/6jq2wm0k8vkgkebz/wish/1776144318 I like teaching business because getting jobs, doing projects and creating companies takes Emotional Intelligence (EQ) and not just IQ and grades.]]> 2021-09-28 23:15:30 UTC https://padlet.com/cslusher/6jq2wm0k8vkgkebz/wish/1776144318 The three arts teachers in our group, we discussed our common practice of using project based assessment rather than traditional tests, and basing feedback and reflection around evidence of student growth and learning. We also discussed our own growth process as educators, in learning to move away from testing as an assessment model. https://padlet.com/cslusher/6jq2wm0k8vkgkebz/wish/1776149458 2021-09-28 23:19:26 UTC https://padlet.com/cslusher/6jq2wm0k8vkgkebz/wish/1776149458 the test design for white culture and rich schools. Testing doesn't talk about all students and the diversity of our school. In my class, I look for open minded students who can communcate and show interest in humanity. I assess my students with different methods that matches students needs. Different way of assessing my students! Individual student are unique and they should be offered more than way to be assessed. https://padlet.com/cslusher/6jq2wm0k8vkgkebz/wish/1776151588 2021-09-28 23:21:03 UTC https://padlet.com/cslusher/6jq2wm0k8vkgkebz/wish/1776151588 Mass Comm https://padlet.com/cslusher/6jq2wm0k8vkgkebz/wish/1776160711 Like the art teachers, in Mass Comm classes I use project based assessment and students participate in their evaluation as learners and often get to choose what they want to learn and how they want to demonstrate that learning.
