Consensogram

Provide a poll that students can anonymously vote on depending on either their self-evaluation of understanding or peer-evaluation of understanding.

Could be organized into an infographic for quick/visual interpretation.

Self-Assessment

garrettfredeen — 2024-04-11 20:25:31 UTC

Teach and provide opportunities for students to evaluate their own work using the metrics that you design.

Exit and Entry Slips

garrettfredeen — 2024-04-11 20:27:24 UTC

Provide questions for students to review or initiate the learning of the lesson.

Mistakes Are Opportunities for Growth

garrettfredeen — 2024-04-11 20:28:28 UTC

Student Portfolios

garrettfredeen — 2024-04-11 20:30:57 UTC

This can be a great way to organize assessments throughout the year and have them easily accessible for students to reflect on, review, and celebrate their learning.

Strategic Questioning/Discussions

garrettfredeen — 2024-04-11 20:34:39 UTC

This method can be used to help students strategize their cognition and compartmentalize the knowledge that they have.

For instance: What is the problem? What could some solutions be? Which solution would be best? How could we improve on the solution we tried?

Collaborative Learning Structures

garrettfredeen — 2024-04-11 20:38:07 UTC

Use peer-to-peer interactions to increase the frequency of conversations and questions held on a topic, or to quickly discover misunderstandings within a subject.

Ex. think-pair-share, which side of the bus, inner/outer circle.

No Hands Up / Random Selection

garrettfredeen — 2024-04-11 20:43:18 UTC

Instead of posing questions to an entire class and asking for a raise of hands (usual anwerers), randomly select the individual who will answer the question. This will hold students accountable by asking them to prepare an answer in case they get selected. This strategy engages more brains.

Two Stars and A Wish

garrettfredeen — 2024-04-11 20:45:36 UTC

Ask students to give feedback sandwiches on their peers' work. Because of peer-peer relationships, students can better communicate effective and more honest feedback.

Provide Exemplars Along Side the Rubric

garrettfredeen — 2024-04-11 20:47:01 UTC

Exemplars should not be unachievable nor under developed.

Real World Applications

garrettfredeen — 2024-04-11 21:09:29 UTC

Find real world objectives driven by student interest that can motivate students to engage.

Ex. When learning a new language, consider scenarios where student must complete an objective. For instance, navigation instructions, organizing a gathering, learning the strategies surrounding a sport.

Provide Visual Progression Scales

garrettfredeen — 2024-04-11 21:14:01 UTC

Consider making a visual hierarchy of progression objectives. Similar to "I can" statements but more skill based. This will communicate to students where they have come from and where they are headed in their learning journey.

I can write words, I can write sentences, I can write paragraphs, I can write essays.

Provide Choice

garrettfredeen — 2024-04-11 21:15:31 UTC

Allow students to express their understanding in a way that they understand.

Unit Overviews

garrettfredeen — 2024-04-11 21:43:03 UTC

Provide a list of the summative assessments associated with each unit so that students are aware of how they will be evaluated.

Instructional YouTube Video for Education App

garrettfredeen — 2024-04-12 00:31:13 UTC

This app looks like an organizational and creative assistant app targeted for teachers. (investigate further)

Isolated Evaluation Reviews

garrettfredeen — 2024-04-12 00:39:41 UTC

Give students alone time, near the end of class time, to review the evaluation and feedback you provided for any summative assessment. This will increase intentionality of the review and provide time for students to cooldown if they are upset about the results.

Horizontal Drying Racks

garrettfredeen — 2024-04-12 00:51:59 UTC

Mrs. Warwick used horizontal drying racks to store student art projects. This provided her room with a lot of additional and organized space.

Visual To-Do Lists

garrettfredeen — 2024-04-12 00:54:10 UTC

Visual to-do lists provide a quick reference for students regarding upcoming assignments and what they can be working on during free time. This increases the efficency of the classroom making students more productive on their assignments.

Chunk Outcomes

garrettfredeen — 2024-04-12 00:56:55 UTC

Many schools will chunk the learner outcomes into "report card learner outcomes". When designing a grade book, identify which outcomes are associated with each RCLO and build your grade book around these chunks.

Outline Purpose

garrettfredeen — 2024-04-12 00:59:38 UTC

Clearly outline the purpose of assessments so that students can focus on the important aspects of the assessment. This will reduce student anxiety.

Working Assessment Book
