https://padlet.com/eganj2/83qwyd4u7ph2 As a table group, what are some takeaways from today's work? en-us 2019-01-30 17:14:52 UTC 2026-01-16 02:17:31 UTC hello@padlet.com spectorsa https://padlet.com/eganj2/83qwyd4u7ph2/wish/326844645 - Nice to see connections between disciplines
- Difficult to critique outside of our content areas
-It's hard to get good alignment of the SOI and GRASPS. 
-Hard to ask clarifying questions outside of your content
-However, feedback from this group was really different from the feedback we would get from our departments, so this is helpful.
- Protocol suggestion: cue cards or examples of questions for the different parts of the protocol, just as a visual reminder. ]]> 2019-02-01 19:19:11 UTC https://padlet.com/eganj2/83qwyd4u7ph2/wish/326844645 reichenbergery https://padlet.com/eganj2/83qwyd4u7ph2/wish/326844711 - There are commonalities between different disciplines. 
- Super helpful to see that other departments are finding the same challenges
- Example: Challenges with creating and presenting rubrics for summative assessments
- Being in these interdisciplinary groups provided different perspectives in implementing GRASPS in a way that students take the project seriously and turn in a high-quality project]]> 2019-02-01 19:19:20 UTC https://padlet.com/eganj2/83qwyd4u7ph2/wish/326844711 https://padlet.com/eganj2/83qwyd4u7ph2/wish/326845029 -Multiple perspectives: good to have input from colleagues in different content areas...nice to see how other departments are handling unit building 
-Seeking clarification on grading-how to blend current grading system with MYP grading 
-Brainstorming time to create new approaches to presenting rubrics to students 
-Struggling with MYP rubrics v. standard rubrics-->how kids will understand 
-SOI needs to be imbedded throughout unit and daily lessons 
-Still unsure of when we will have the time to complete units

- Help clarify further questions
- Raises new questions that you didn't think about
- Allowed us to take a deeper look into the work that we're doing, but also helps us take a step back and look at the bigger picture.]]> 2019-02-01 19:20:09 UTC https://padlet.com/eganj2/83qwyd4u7ph2/wish/326845055 https://padlet.com/eganj2/83qwyd4u7ph2/wish/326845076 Grade level team discussions to rework unit plans based on feedback and recommendations.

Use this protocol within our own departments to get feedback on our units.

Would like to have a content specific point person from which to get  feedback.

Would like to see an exemplar unit plan from our specific content.

Helpful to know that all teachers in different subject areas are struggling with this.

Will we ever receive feedback from district administrators on our work?

Some subject areas lend themselves more organically to authentic assessments.]]> 2019-02-01 19:20:12 UTC https://padlet.com/eganj2/83qwyd4u7ph2/wish/326845076 https://padlet.com/eganj2/83qwyd4u7ph2/wish/326845154 Positive:
-Easily differentiated
-Was nice to see a whole cohesive unit and a GRASP that was a true practical application and had clear alignment to the SOI
-Real life applications is great for engagement
Confusions:
-Diff disciplines are struggling with making the SOI make sense using the required terms and then making sure it truly ties to, and is assessed by the final unit GRASP 
-Rubric created a lot of questions in regards to common conversions from a 0-8 scale to our traditional grading scales... Should we as a school have a common conversion that all disciplines utilize 
-Difficult for certain disciplines to make real life applications that seem natural and result in student by in ]]> 2019-02-01 19:20:22 UTC https://padlet.com/eganj2/83qwyd4u7ph2/wish/326845154 https://padlet.com/eganj2/83qwyd4u7ph2/wish/326845325 1.) vast curricular changes (MYP, expansion of IB program); no structural or institutional changes to support or accommodate dynamic curriculum
2.) juggling/negotiating New York State standards, MYP requirements, and best practices for a very diverse student body
3.) assessment of MYP units: Is the current grading system an authentic way to assess within MYP model? (e.g. normative grading, rubric grading)
4.) feeling that students are increasingly forced into an all-IB schedule that doesn't accommodate electives and student interest/specialization: Are we narrowing opportunities for students to excel in a single or specialized area?]]> 2019-02-01 19:20:45 UTC https://padlet.com/eganj2/83qwyd4u7ph2/wish/326845325 https://padlet.com/eganj2/83qwyd4u7ph2/wish/326845361 - (special ed) was not involved with MYP this morning, maybe it would have more beneficial to be placed in a group together.
- We found a lot of connections between Language Task, could have used it for Mathematics, Science, Business....
-Appreciate connectivity between subject areas.
- We would love some Cannolis next time!]]> 2019-02-01 19:20:52 UTC https://padlet.com/eganj2/83qwyd4u7ph2/wish/326845361 https://padlet.com/eganj2/83qwyd4u7ph2/wish/326845382 - Pros: 
* This was helpful collaboration to engage in with our colleagues - feedback given was purposeful
*This helped promote ideas for GRASPS
* THis helped enhance our understanding of ATLs
* Sharing of materials between colleagues was useful 

-Cons:
* Still unsure of how to construct the language surrounding unit design --> different trainings and departments have promoted different interpretations - we need commonality and consensus
* We have different base knowledge of MYP - not all of us have receved training
* Working on common grade levels would be helpful to look at GRASPS and streamline expectations and find meaningful connections

- conversations sparked ideas across subjects 
- positive feedback help alleviate stress ]]> 2019-02-01 19:20:55 UTC https://padlet.com/eganj2/83qwyd4u7ph2/wish/326845384 https://padlet.com/eganj2/83qwyd4u7ph2/wish/326845476 -good conversations connecting with other disciplines
-there are a lot of connections between disciplines
-two strongest and complete units were those that had common planning time as a department
-still uncertainty and discomfort using the unit planner

-We appreciated the exchange but it would be more beneficial in the future to have more time to work within out own content area.
