  • Integrate student self-assessment and feedback, peer feedback, and instructor feedback by providing a continuum of stages to use several times per semester course to help students make measurable and material advances in competency.

    We encourage you to use the resources and structures of the project as a primary framework to design your remote practicum assignments.  It may help you locate other exemplar artifacts or help students locate them.

    1. Organize your synchronous class time during your scheduled class meeting.  We will plan details together in our FLC – for now we recommend 1- 1.5 hours average synchronous time per week.
    2. Organize your synchronous sessions around active group work- break out/small group/CORP discussions.  Remember that these are good times to address the “Believe” sections of the TPE’s for your course and to help students make connections between Describing, Believing and Demonstrating.
    3. Make yourself available for a regular weekly office hour by appointment before or after your class session (whatever compliments students schedule)

  • Discussion. Discussion forums will be an important part of the Peer Coaching aspect of Signature assignments.  We recommend that instructors use asynchronous time for discussion forums and synchronous time for breakout discussions – with clear and explicit distinctions and links between the two.
  • Signature Assignment/ Assessing Artifacts: 
    1. Low stakes artifacts. Early in the semester, you can use baseline or low stakes artifacts – videos by other people, training videos, student videos from previous semesters, or other artifacts like learning stories or slide shows – to help students start working with rubrics towards Signature Assignments. 

    1. Student Signature Assignment Artifacts.  We plan to support students to collect video artifacts from both on-site and online interactions/teaching.  Students can spend some time viewing and reflecting on videos in their CORP as Signature Assignments build during the semester. (Much more on both of these below).

If students are also teaching remotely, this time can fit into assignments that address TPE substandards focusing on Describing, Believing and Demonstrating. While you should focus practicum work on students’ on-site time, you should also weave remote teaching into assignments.

However, you should be prepared to modify use of rubrics in your in-depth signature assignments based on how many artifacts a student can reasonably collect in their remote teaching.

Read and review the substandards we have mapped to your course (in the EDvance TPE document). 
    2. Get support from the Curriculum Director to tailor the recommended mapping to your course SLO’s and plans.
    3. Plan how you can use assignments to help students practice what the substandards ask them to Describe, Believe and Demonstrate
    4.Think about how you can weave the substandards into a Signature Assignment using a rubric (see below)
    5. Work with the Curriculum Director to adapt the rubric design to one or more assignments in your course.]]>     2020-07-13 22:28:21 UTC https://padlet.com/bcollins117/PATHfaculty/wish/653650543     bcollins117 https://padlet.com/bcollins117/PATHfaculty/wish/653662907 2020-07-13 22:52:54 UTC https://padlet.com/bcollins117/PATHfaculty/wish/653662907 modified any way that instructors need for their courses. bcollins117 https://padlet.com/bcollins117/PATHfaculty/wish/653663197 The rubric can be adapted and   It has a few basic elements that we hope to see adopted consistently:
    1. A continuum design based on the DRDP that helps students get specific feedback and move up to  a detailed higher competency level.
    2. A series of clearly defined behaviors (measures) that students should practice in an assignment. We have used the three steps from Powerful Interactions to organize these measures. These behaviors can, for many courses, be drawn from CLASS behavioral markers. Instructors choose these measures based on their course content and TPE mapping.  The Curriculum Director supports instructors in individual rubric design and delivery, so that instructors can have maximum autonomy without significant additional labor. (See the Rubric for Standard 2c here and read more about the Why of rubrics here).
    ]]>     2020-07-13 22:53:36 UTC https://padlet.com/bcollins117/PATHfaculty/wish/653663197     The rubrics are designed to integrate three levels of reflection and feedback around student artifacts: bcollins117 https://padlet.com/bcollins117/PATHfaculty/wish/653663450 1. Self – students can rate (Describe) their level of mastery on the rubric before and after creating an artifact, and identify their target next stage on the continuum after incorporating feedback.
    2. Peers – CORP can use both the measures and the continuum of the rubric to ground and organize their Peer Coaching of each other’s artifacts
    3.Instructor – Instructors can give both quick and extended feedback via the grid structure and extra prompts.  We developed some specific questions and questioning methods that instructors can use to organize feedback, included in the sample above.
    4. Program– The rubrics also provide PATH with qualitative and quantitative feedback on how effectively we are teaching to each TPE standard. ]]>     2020-07-13 22:54:04 UTC https://padlet.com/bcollins117/PATHfaculty/wish/653663450     There are many ways to use a rubric through the semester. bcollins117 https://padlet.com/bcollins117/PATHfaculty/wish/653663917 Instructors can organize a series of assignments leading up to the Signature Assignment by moving through a rubric, and can also use a rubric for one individual assignment.  The figure below shows a basic model of how rubrics can organize the semester.]]> 2020-07-13 22:55:10 UTC https://padlet.com/bcollins117/PATHfaculty/wish/653663917 Designing Meetings for Equity Facilitation Guide by the National Equity Project bcollins117 https://padlet.com/bcollins117/PATHfaculty/wish/654325175 2020-07-14 16:23:48 UTC https://padlet.com/bcollins117/PATHfaculty/wish/654325175 Senior (THETA class of 2021) bcollins117 https://padlet.com/bcollins117/PATHfaculty/wish/656211000 2020-07-16 17:16:54 UTC https://padlet.com/bcollins117/PATHfaculty/wish/656211000 bcollins117 https://padlet.com/bcollins117/PATHfaculty/wish/656211292 2020-07-16 17:17:19 UTC https://padlet.com/bcollins117/PATHfaculty/wish/656211292 Exemplar Portfolio bcollins117 https://padlet.com/bcollins117/PATHfaculty/wish/664462007 Adriana Sanchez (PATH ETA)]]> 2020-07-28 21:35:37 UTC https://padlet.com/bcollins117/PATHfaculty/wish/664462007 Exemplar Portfoilio bcollins117 https://padlet.com/bcollins117/PATHfaculty/wish/664462380 Sadaf Shakoori (PATH ETA)]]> 2020-07-28 21:36:19 UTC https://padlet.com/bcollins117/PATHfaculty/wish/664462380 Exemplar Portfoilio bcollins117 https://padlet.com/bcollins117/PATHfaculty/wish/664462603 Jocelyn Bermudez (PATH ETA)]]> 2020-07-28 21:36:48 UTC https://padlet.com/bcollins117/PATHfaculty/wish/664462603
