Mandatory Retakes - Intervention Week by Jeremy Poserio https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x Lets share our lessons learned from Intervention Week. How could we leverage mandatory retakes as we end this year strong and move into live classes next semester? en-us 2021-05-19 17:45:12 UTC 2021-05-19 19:50:23 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f601.png rmccubbin https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541139655 In 9th grade US, students have had four mastery writing assessments this year.  For intervention week, we asked them to pick one of the four mastery writing assessments, and to revise based on the feedback they received.  The "mandatory" part was that they all had to revise something, but it wasn't (obviously) for every single one.  ]]> 2021-05-19 19:30:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541139655 Generally productive, but some of the usual suspects did not show up, so no opportunity for retakes. https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541140448 2021-05-19 19:30:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541140448 This was more about getting students in for the FIRST take. https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541140488 2021-05-19 19:30:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541140488 I think it was successful. I used the pause in many classes to have review for old units for retakes. I also did retake reviews separate from intervention times. csiguenza1 https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541140626 2021-05-19 19:30:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541140626 amorea4 https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541141412 A portion of students retook assignments (edpuzzles/quizzes).]]> 2021-05-19 19:30:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541141412 It worked out very well when I worked on assignments with students. They needed guidance in the beginning but by the end they were writing the screenplay on their own. tdimopoulos https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541143154 2021-05-19 19:31:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541143154 I did short review sessions throughout the week, not mandatory. Review sessions were short and one standard a day. It was available for students who earned mastery but wanted a higher grade. Then I posted retake quizzes for each standard on Friday to the whole class (making it optional) and the students that attended the review took the retakes. There were some students that did not attend review sessions but still retook the quizzes. csiguenza1 https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541143334 2021-05-19 19:31:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541143334 amorea4 https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541143723 Students had to review information before they were able to retake quizzes. ]]> 2021-05-19 19:31:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541143723 I had a good time jposerio https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541144101 I don't know, asking around, it seemed like intervention week was harder than a typical week. It might have been due to my content or my policy around retakes, but it felt easier for me.]]> 2021-05-19 19:31:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541144101 Retakes or Takes are easier to administer if the assignment does not involve a great deal of collaboration with other students. Sometimes, in those cases, it forces the entire group to redo work. https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541145115 2021-05-19 19:31:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541145115 I'm still concerned about the effect a retake will have on a higher performing student. They've already done the work and put in the time, I'm afraid this will be a punishment and ultimate detriment to their learning. https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541145544 2021-05-19 19:31:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541145544 amorea4 https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541149508 Students staying in the meet, saying they were completing work but turns out, they were not.]]> 2021-05-19 19:33:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541149508 Build Knowledge, Take Assessments, Feedback, Repeat jposerio https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541149524 For students taking assessments for the first time, their primary responsibility was to complete EdPuzzles, after some feedback from their first attempt, students were able to retake exams as many times as they needed to demonstrate mastery]]> 2021-05-19 19:33:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541149524 It took a lot of effort having all their screenplays open and going from student to student to see if they were applying what I was showing them. tdimopoulos https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541149724 2021-05-19 19:33:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541149724 Short interventions sometimes did not allow enough time for student to complete an assignment while on the call. https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541151260 2021-05-19 19:33:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541151260 amorea4 https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541152124 I'm not sure how students who scored high the first time would feel about having to retake it.]]> 2021-05-19 19:33:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541152124 I think planning for different versions of the review/exam took a lot of time during intervention week. I would have this planned out and created before hand. csiguenza1 https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541152523 2021-05-19 19:34:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541152523 rmccubbin https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541152717 Students generally seemed happy to engage in this.  Some picked their highest score to make it higher. Others picked their lowest score trying to get the most improvement.  One said they picked the one they did based on the feedback they received. ]]> 2021-05-19 19:34:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541152717 Lack of Motivation jposerio https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541154041 I thought that having a safety net, and allowing students every opportunity to prove themselves would be motivating. But it seems like motivation is a completely different arena. My usual suspects were MIA]]> 2021-05-19 19:34:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541154041 Students that did not show up! tdimopoulos https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541154960 2021-05-19 19:34:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541154960 There are those students that will take advantage of the retakes even if they already. had mastery. I think if the culture of the class was set up for retakes from the beginning more students would see the benefit of it and take advantage of it from the beginning. csiguenza1 https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541155169 2021-05-19 19:34:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541155169 amorea4 https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541156203 In many cases, the difficulty is getting students to do work the first time around.]]> 2021-05-19 19:35:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541156203 There will always be a percentage of students who show little to no initiative, despite our sheparding tactics, and will ultimately wait until the last possible moment. https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541156451 2021-05-19 19:35:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541156451 I had no takes, jposerio https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541157664 But after speaking with Rob and Cristina, I like their idea of pause days.]]> 2021-05-19 19:35:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541157664 rmccubbin https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541157836 I think "mandatory" for all assessment is probably unrealistic.  I think providing an option for retakes is a must (voluntary) and maybe one mandatory window a semester where students retake something specific to a standard or a poor performance on a specific assessment.]]> 2021-05-19 19:35:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541157836 I shall add our lessons learned onto the main document jposerio https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541159092 Please feel free to capture your ideas here]]> 2021-05-19 19:36:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541159092 I spent most of my time getting students to complete work the first time around. Although I opened it up for student to retake for a higher grade, few took advantage of this. https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541159101 2021-05-19 19:36:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541159101 Students that seemed to understand and acknowledge what they had to do, and then did not complete what tasks were asked of them. It's like you need to be standing over them, in order for anything to get done. https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541160262 2021-05-19 19:36:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541160262 https://padlet.com/jposerio/mqpv5ao3txxzyl6x/wish/1541201525 Also, technical difficulties.  Still, have to remember the remote setting and even after all this time there is complications with computer, tablet, phone, etc.
