Major Takeaway by Amy Geurkink-Coats https://padlet.com/acoats4/lp Learning Progressions: Are Student-Centered State Standards Possible? en-us 2017-12-21 00:14:25 UTC 2026-02-17 09:49:17 UTC hello@padlet.com acoats4 https://padlet.com/acoats4/lp/wish/217617962 Learning Progressions precede Competencies, challenge current accountability policies, learning progressions help develop formative assessment capacity in teachers]]> 2017-12-21 00:21:32 UTC https://padlet.com/acoats4/lp/wish/217617962 My Takeaway https://padlet.com/acoats4/lp/wish/217714702 Further research and work is needed to develop not only learning progressions but also to understand their effectiveness and role in education. ]]> 2017-12-21 14:47:06 UTC https://padlet.com/acoats4/lp/wish/217714702 The focus on formative assessment and development is good for all students. "We believe every student can learn with the right mix of instructional support and learning opportunities, therefore we need to make sure that the formative feedback to students is actually helpful for students to progress." https://padlet.com/acoats4/lp/wish/217715389 2017-12-21 14:49:24 UTC https://padlet.com/acoats4/lp/wish/217715389 Proceed, but not with Reckless Abandon https://padlet.com/acoats4/lp/wish/217715638 Though there's lots of opportunity here, learning progressions are in the early stages of development.  Took away that the focus is on:
1. Inquiry
2. Multiple paths to the same goals
3. Learning and subsequently formative rather than summative assessment.]]> 2017-12-21 14:50:17 UTC https://padlet.com/acoats4/lp/wish/217715638 Takeaway https://padlet.com/acoats4/lp/wish/217715749 It makes sense to organize instruction around how students learn. We have more to learn about how students learn.]]> 2017-12-21 14:50:44 UTC https://padlet.com/acoats4/lp/wish/217715749 and building teachers’ content knowledge. We cannot underestimate the value in helping teachers build knowledge on their discipline within competency education. This is one of the big shifts – instead of teaching a math curriculum, educators are focused on helping students to learn (and perhaps love) math. Teaching and learning is a process of inquiry. shawkinson https://padlet.com/acoats4/lp/wish/217715906 2017-12-21 14:51:15 UTC https://padlet.com/acoats4/lp/wish/217715906 https://padlet.com/acoats4/lp/wish/217716045 Open mind and a sprinkle of caution... 

This will be very different for some of our teachers and parents]]> 2017-12-21 14:51:42 UTC https://padlet.com/acoats4/lp/wish/217716045 Assessments https://padlet.com/acoats4/lp/wish/217716071 "Competency education already challenges the policy that all students should take the same exams at the same time for the sake of accountability purposes" -this is going to not only challenge when we administer assessments, but it also will change how, where, and why.]]> 2017-12-21 14:51:47 UTC https://padlet.com/acoats4/lp/wish/217716071 https://padlet.com/acoats4/lp/wish/217716098 No longer is it simply “did a student get it or not get it,” but creating ways for teachers to identify how students are approaching a concept so they can provide more meaningful feedback. ]]> 2017-12-21 14:51:52 UTC https://padlet.com/acoats4/lp/wish/217716098 https://padlet.com/acoats4/lp/wish/217716322 The what we teach is possibly not as important as the HOW we teach.  Learning about how students learn is truly important to empowering them to be owners of their own learning.  Teachers need to be able to provide meaningful feedback about who they are as learners to guide them on the right path.

How do we create things for all content that are user friendly? https://padlet.com/acoats4/lp/wish/217716834 2017-12-21 14:54:00 UTC https://padlet.com/acoats4/lp/wish/217716834 Where to start https://padlet.com/acoats4/lp/wish/217716976 Learning progressions need to come first!  How do we support teacher development and understanding around the need for these?
