Your book provides a lot of examples and citations to research about how practicing certain things could increase student motivation, efficacy, etc. -- but has there been a study conducted to actually measure the effects of grading equity practices on students compared to a group of students that have not been graded equitably? I'm finding as I speak with teachers, they want evidence of student motivation, efficacy, etc. AFTER grading equity specifically was employed--and more than action research but a treatment and control group https://padlet.com/info14684/hrmak2xuy7ehetuk/wish/2617559242 2023-06-07 23:29:02 UTC https://padlet.com/info14684/hrmak2xuy7ehetuk/wish/2617559242 What are ways that you can convince students the importance of practice when they are disinterested in a skill or subject you know they will need? https://padlet.com/info14684/hrmak2xuy7ehetuk/wish/2617559282 2023-06-07 23:29:07 UTC https://padlet.com/info14684/hrmak2xuy7ehetuk/wish/2617559282 Do you ask teachers to focus on those core skills that students need to master or do you build rubrics around each skill introduced? https://padlet.com/info14684/hrmak2xuy7ehetuk/wish/2617559331 2023-06-07 23:29:13 UTC https://padlet.com/info14684/hrmak2xuy7ehetuk/wish/2617559331 Kerrigan266 https://padlet.com/info14684/hrmak2xuy7ehetuk/wish/2617559394 How do you still reward students for effort or participation if it is not factored into their grade? ]]> 2023-06-07 23:29:19 UTC https://padlet.com/info14684/hrmak2xuy7ehetuk/wish/2617559394 In the course it mentioned action steps students might have to take before being able to retake an assessments to make sure they are prepared.
