This is a great way of having students understand and master particular standards rather than simply passing tests. However, this can become an organizational nightmare. Standards based grading requires retests and multiple forms of assessments. How can we create this type of grading/ classroom environment without an enormous amount of work? How can we hold students accountable to achieving objectives without constantly associating grades to them?]]> 2018-04-17 13:17:32 UTC https://padlet.com/melissa_wilson4/FOL1/wish/252552096 Should a systematic approach to teaching vocabulary be used in every classroom?

This year, I have begun giving my Algebra 2 Essentials students "love notes" with all their missing homework assignments on them.  I can write the missing assignments on post its during class because they receive a good amount of work time.  I also allow them to complete incomplete or late work for full credit up to the day of the test.  The small class size of 20 also makes it a lot easier to talk to all my students.  I have seen that holding students accountable like that in a remedial math class has really helped.]]> 2018-04-17 13:21:26 UTC https://padlet.com/melissa_wilson4/FOL1/wish/252554193 Having students become the teacher/curriculum writer.

]]> 2018-04-17 13:34:48 UTC https://padlet.com/melissa_wilson4/FOL1/wish/252562017 Some barriers to this idea is that not everyone is using the same platform so students have multiple places to check and do their work depending on the teacher. Having one centrally located area might help but if a student is already a it unorganized, they need one on one help and there isn't much time to give it to them. I also can't believe the number of students who don't access their school email on their phone. They wait til they have time on their chromebook to open gmail but they have a phone on them almost all the time. Is it hard to add? Can we put together a tutorial? ;) shelby_thormeyer https://padlet.com/melissa_wilson4/FOL1/wish/252562476 2018-04-17 13:35:38 UTC https://padlet.com/melissa_wilson4/FOL1/wish/252562476 Reflective writing...low stakes writing is very powerful. If we ask the right questions in our writing prompts, the students reflect on the topic and internalize their conclusions in a much stronger way than if we give tips, make suggestions, or tell them what to do. Ask them the right question, and they're forced to give themselves the good talking-to you wanted to give them (: steve_fleming https://padlet.com/melissa_wilson4/FOL1/wish/252562545 2018-04-17 13:35:45 UTC https://padlet.com/melissa_wilson4/FOL1/wish/252562545 Norms: wayne_hartmann https://padlet.com/melissa_wilson4/FOL1/wish/252562858 With all of the options that our students have regarding communication.

There is a vocabulary list at the beginning of the portfolio that must used. In some classes, I might list 45 words and have them chose 30, and in other classes I have 30 words and require them to use all 30. carol_kinast https://padlet.com/melissa_wilson4/FOL1/wish/252564593 2018-04-17 13:39:05 UTC https://padlet.com/melissa_wilson4/FOL1/wish/252564593 I use Flipgrid for CPR laura_mccarthy1 https://padlet.com/melissa_wilson4/FOL1/wish/252564685 Students test each other in small groups before the actually skills test. Students tend to record the first attempt and naturally critique each other. They develop systems for remembering steps. They tend to record each other 3 or 4 times before deciding they like the finished product and turn it in. This allows students to naturally repeat the effort until it it is perfect. ]]> 2018-04-17 13:39:14 UTC https://padlet.com/melissa_wilson4/FOL1/wish/252564685 Time Management Tips steve_wick https://padlet.com/melissa_wilson4/FOL1/wish/252564780 Maybe something here could spark an idea?]]> 2018-04-17 13:39:25 UTC https://padlet.com/melissa_wilson4/FOL1/wish/252564780 melissa_wilson4 https://padlet.com/melissa_wilson4/FOL1/wish/252565808 Here is my recent blog post about the awesome things Steve and Brian are doing with vocabulary at the freshmen building. ]]> 2018-04-17 13:41:16 UTC https://padlet.com/melissa_wilson4/FOL1/wish/252565808 Learning Through Reflection steve_wick https://padlet.com/melissa_wilson4/FOL1/wish/252565988 2018-04-17 13:41:32 UTC https://padlet.com/melissa_wilson4/FOL1/wish/252565988 Our classroom tables are set up so that students are in groups.
