By taking advantage of self-grading (self-directed learning) practices, the teacher makes learning more effective and gives themselves less work to do. It also increases learning motivation. kembleton https://padlet.com/tfelkins/kct41yvzo8i2/wish/282972596 2018-09-18 15:20:07 UTC https://padlet.com/tfelkins/kct41yvzo8i2/wish/282972596 We liked that there was a clear definition of wbetts https://padlet.com/tfelkins/kct41yvzo8i2/wish/282973058 2018-09-18 15:20:35 UTC https://padlet.com/tfelkins/kct41yvzo8i2/wish/282973058 We liked that there was a clear definition of "teacher clarity" that we can understand and take back to our colleagues. Also, clear definition of how it fits with teacher efficacy so we can do/show both. wbetts https://padlet.com/tfelkins/kct41yvzo8i2/wish/282973067 2018-09-18 15:20:36 UTC https://padlet.com/tfelkins/kct41yvzo8i2/wish/282973067 Four Sources of self-efficacy master experiences, vicarious experiences, feedback and emotion. https://padlet.com/tfelkins/kct41yvzo8i2/wish/282973094 2018-09-18 15:20:37 UTC https://padlet.com/tfelkins/kct41yvzo8i2/wish/282973094 We loved the 3 questions. They are simple for students to answer and easy for teachers to remember and implement. https://padlet.com/tfelkins/kct41yvzo8i2/wish/282973488 2018-09-18 15:21:06 UTC https://padlet.com/tfelkins/kct41yvzo8i2/wish/282973488 The depth of knowledge has changed in a way that we have self-efficacy in the old stuff, but maybe not a grasp on the new rigor and standards that are required. https://padlet.com/tfelkins/kct41yvzo8i2/wish/282973794 2018-09-18 15:21:32 UTC https://padlet.com/tfelkins/kct41yvzo8i2/wish/282973794 https://padlet.com/tfelkins/kct41yvzo8i2/wish/282973852 Collective teacher efficacy is not possible without teacher clarity]]> 2018-09-18 15:21:37 UTC https://padlet.com/tfelkins/kct41yvzo8i2/wish/282973852 https://padlet.com/tfelkins/kct41yvzo8i2/wish/282973982 The belief of a school and its teachers can make a difference.  Students can learn regardless of where they come from, or what they bring with them.]]> 2018-09-18 15:21:46 UTC https://padlet.com/tfelkins/kct41yvzo8i2/wish/282973982 We thought it was very interesting that observing other teachers was mentioned in building self-efficacy. https://padlet.com/tfelkins/kct41yvzo8i2/wish/282974223 2018-09-18 15:22:08 UTC https://padlet.com/tfelkins/kct41yvzo8i2/wish/282974223 https://padlet.com/tfelkins/kct41yvzo8i2/wish/282974487 As teachers when we know the "what, why, and how"
 and we teach our students that, then our "belief in (our)ability to do so effectively" increases. ]]> 2018-09-18 15:22:29 UTC https://padlet.com/tfelkins/kct41yvzo8i2/wish/282974487 As we organize our instruction, give a clear explanation and provide examples it will lead to better assessments. As this becomes a routine in the classroom, students know what to expect day to day. https://padlet.com/tfelkins/kct41yvzo8i2/wish/282974583 2018-09-18 15:22:37 UTC https://padlet.com/tfelkins/kct41yvzo8i2/wish/282974583 We like that https://padlet.com/tfelkins/kct41yvzo8i2/wish/282974694 2018-09-18 15:22:45 UTC https://padlet.com/tfelkins/kct41yvzo8i2/wish/282974694 We like that teacher clarity helps learners to better communicate when they have gaps in the learning progress. It holds them accountable and helps them figure out their "yet." It gives teacher and learner the same academic language to build on https://padlet.com/tfelkins/kct41yvzo8i2/wish/282974710 2018-09-18 15:22:47 UTC https://padlet.com/tfelkins/kct41yvzo8i2/wish/282974710 We agree that a school and its teachers can make a difference in the learning of their students regardless of where they came from and what they bring with them to the school doorway ---- NO EXCUSES! https://padlet.com/tfelkins/kct41yvzo8i2/wish/282974816 2018-09-18 15:22:55 UTC https://padlet.com/tfelkins/kct41yvzo8i2/wish/282974816 We see the strong correlation of Teacher clarity and Collective Teacher Efficacy. We feel that teachers need to recognize that they have Teacher Clarity and Collective Efficacy - it is not something extra, many are already doing it, we can work on becoming more clear and fine tuned. https://padlet.com/tfelkins/kct41yvzo8i2/wish/282975277 2018-09-18 15:23:40 UTC https://padlet.com/tfelkins/kct41yvzo8i2/wish/282975277 wbetts https://padlet.com/tfelkins/kct41yvzo8i2/wish/282975434 Just as we need clarity in combination with efficacy, our students will feel more confident if they have clarity to help increase their belief in their ability.]]> 2018-09-18 15:23:53 UTC https://padlet.com/tfelkins/kct41yvzo8i2/wish/282975434 Sometimes I forget to clarify the WHY we are teaching something. https://padlet.com/tfelkins/kct41yvzo8i2/wish/282975495 2018-09-18 15:23:59 UTC https://padlet.com/tfelkins/kct41yvzo8i2/wish/282975495 We are going to have to build new efficacy as teams and teachers based on the rigor of the standards. https://padlet.com/tfelkins/kct41yvzo8i2/wish/282975702 2018-09-18 15:24:21 UTC https://padlet.com/tfelkins/kct41yvzo8i2/wish/282975702 The struggle is real! When we have to depend or believe that our co-workers will know what our students need when they are collectively teaching (example would be target time) https://padlet.com/tfelkins/kct41yvzo8i2/wish/282975721 2018-09-18 15:24:22 UTC https://padlet.com/tfelkins/kct41yvzo8i2/wish/282975721 Aha moment-- making studnets aware of what they are learning, why they are learning it, and what success looks like helps students identify gaps in the learning process. Teacher clarity will help students even young learners self access thier learning. https://padlet.com/tfelkins/kct41yvzo8i2/wish/282975817 2018-09-18 15:24:32 UTC https://padlet.com/tfelkins/kct41yvzo8i2/wish/282975817 How can we utilize teacher clarity to help students reach their IEP goals? How can we get the water to the end of the row in helping our aides and interventionists? https://padlet.com/tfelkins/kct41yvzo8i2/wish/282976161 2018-09-18 15:25:03 UTC https://padlet.com/tfelkins/kct41yvzo8i2/wish/282976161 https://padlet.com/tfelkins/kct41yvzo8i2/wish/282976258 Tom Felkins is a genius
