Q & A on Distance Learning by Kristen Freeman https://padlet.com/kfreeman44_1/d897bqeqn2rk Questions and Answers on Grading, Habits of Work, or anything else related to distance learning en-us 2020-03-26 23:54:16 UTC 2020-04-02 02:03:44 UTC hello@padlet.com How will we be grading students for their courses during distance learning? Will it be pass/fail, and if so, how will this translate to awarding credit? https://padlet.com/kfreeman44_1/d897bqeqn2rk/wish/477551146 2020-03-27 00:22:47 UTC https://padlet.com/kfreeman44_1/d897bqeqn2rk/wish/477551146 How do I best respond to parent/student questions about grades? kfreeman44_1 https://padlet.com/kfreeman44_1/d897bqeqn2rk/wish/478012362 Please refer to this document.]]> 2020-03-27 10:04:53 UTC https://padlet.com/kfreeman44_1/d897bqeqn2rk/wish/478012362 Can we revisit the "one HoW grade" policy? Parents seem to be craving some information as to whether their students are regularly completing assignments, and this has caused an overload of emails back and forth. Teachers report that parents say they want updates but don't want to be inundated with emails. https://padlet.com/kfreeman44_1/d897bqeqn2rk/wish/478433762  ]]> 2020-03-27 14:00:22 UTC https://padlet.com/kfreeman44_1/d897bqeqn2rk/wish/478433762 I like the aspect of students doing a self-assessment and providing evidence... feedback is important of why from the teacher https://padlet.com/kfreeman44_1/d897bqeqn2rk/wish/478459295 2020-03-27 14:11:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kfreeman44_1/d897bqeqn2rk/wish/478459295 The self-assessment seems like good idea. The down side: teachers will predict some students may not engage in it, especially those who already are disengaged, and for those who are fully engaged, it might add to levels of anxiety. https://padlet.com/kfreeman44_1/d897bqeqn2rk/wish/478476781 2020-03-27 14:19:40 UTC https://padlet.com/kfreeman44_1/d897bqeqn2rk/wish/478476781 Are we just inputting the number as the HofW or do we need to create a copy of the rubric for each student? enorwell1_1 https://padlet.com/kfreeman44_1/d897bqeqn2rk/wish/478722200 2020-03-27 16:07:46 UTC https://padlet.com/kfreeman44_1/d897bqeqn2rk/wish/478722200 Are our grades limited to 10.0, 8.7, 7.3, 6.0? Or can we give grades in between, if a student seems to fall in the middle? https://padlet.com/kfreeman44_1/d897bqeqn2rk/wish/478818931 2020-03-27 16:53:30 UTC https://padlet.com/kfreeman44_1/d897bqeqn2rk/wish/478818931 Hi, what communication exactly is going to the parents about the HoW grading system/rubric? Are they seeing your presentation video as well or something similar? https://padlet.com/kfreeman44_1/d897bqeqn2rk/wish/478871386 2020-03-27 17:21:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kfreeman44_1/d897bqeqn2rk/wish/478871386 It seemed like in your video you mentioned all districts were waiting for state guidance on grading but I know there are districts currently entering grades daily for students. Are they violating a directive or are we just choosing to wait? https://padlet.com/kfreeman44_1/d897bqeqn2rk/wish/478873681 2020-03-27 17:22:23 UTC https://padlet.com/kfreeman44_1/d897bqeqn2rk/wish/478873681 Can we assign a 0 for HoW? kfreeman44_1 https://padlet.com/kfreeman44_1/d897bqeqn2rk/wish/479456663 The answers is yes but there are criteria: a student has done NO work and there have been multiple attempts to contact the family.

I am seeing it from both sides as a parent and teacher. Thank you for taking your time and working hard to get this right as we move forward in this new environment. https://padlet.com/kfreeman44_1/d897bqeqn2rk/wish/480725863 2020-03-29 17:15:36 UTC https://padlet.com/kfreeman44_1/d897bqeqn2rk/wish/480725863
