Seven Practices for Effective Learning by Robin Long https://padlet.com/rtlong651/ghzflexfz3q1 Made with whimsy en-us 2017-08-10 02:13:29 UTC 2017-08-11 17:53:59 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/rtlong651/ghzflexfz3q1/wish/180760623 In the planners I've taught, the quality of the summative project went up if I told the students at the beginning what the summative would be. As I was reading, it talked about how this is most effective because the students take the practice a little more seriously knowing there was a "game" coming up.]]> 2017-08-11 17:32:52 UTC https://padlet.com/rtlong651/ghzflexfz3q1/wish/180760623 Practice 1 https://padlet.com/rtlong651/ghzflexfz3q1/wish/180760847 I tell my students what their summative assessment is at the beginning of a unit. It makes them really excited and helps focus their inquiries on the areas I want them to focus on. Throughout the whole unit they are coming up with new and exciting ideas for their summative.]]> 2017-08-11 17:35:02 UTC https://padlet.com/rtlong651/ghzflexfz3q1/wish/180760847 iescobed https://padlet.com/rtlong651/ghzflexfz3q1/wish/180760962 I have found that students enjoy being able to choose their form of presenting knowledge.  At one point I did struggle with students always wanting to choose their own way and I had to redirect because the TEK specifically asked for a certain thing - such as writing instead of oral presentation.

Pretend the class is a team of players. Present the authentic expectations and the expected goal.
In order to get there they have to have practice drills that will transfer to the end goal.]]> 2017-08-11 17:36:23 UTC https://padlet.com/rtlong651/ghzflexfz3q1/wish/180760973 Practice 4 https://padlet.com/rtlong651/ghzflexfz3q1/wish/180761009 I use IIM which is about choices]]> 2017-08-11 17:36:39 UTC https://padlet.com/rtlong651/ghzflexfz3q1/wish/180761009 Making sure that there is enough collection of evidence for students to use. https://padlet.com/rtlong651/ghzflexfz3q1/wish/180761065 2017-08-11 17:37:10 UTC https://padlet.com/rtlong651/ghzflexfz3q1/wish/180761065 https://padlet.com/rtlong651/ghzflexfz3q1/wish/180761066 Focusing on how well the students performed instead of when. We tend to grade them all the same and not give full credit the second time around, when really some kids just take longer. It is unfair to them. ]]> 2017-08-11 17:37:10 UTC https://padlet.com/rtlong651/ghzflexfz3q1/wish/180761066 https://padlet.com/rtlong651/ghzflexfz3q1/wish/180761089 It's hard to balance the assessments that match our units with the grades that must be collected for the report card.

I see practice 3 more like data to collect to see the gaining of the unit.
