Shifting from hours in a seat to what can be understood by the students. Not all students can be in their seats, and others do not participate (just show up).]]> 2021-08-24 14:55:01 UTC https://padlet.com/lhowe/tcoqyj3nqcyje6c/wish/1693787003 Hours in a seat https://padlet.com/lhowe/tcoqyj3nqcyje6c/wish/1693789929 Students need to understand the meaningful nature of the classes. Some students just show up instead of working in class. We want them to attend, but it's more important to see what they are learning.]]> 2021-08-24 14:56:30 UTC https://padlet.com/lhowe/tcoqyj3nqcyje6c/wish/1693789929 students compare themselves to others from an early age which creates animosity and anxiety. https://padlet.com/lhowe/tcoqyj3nqcyje6c/wish/1693790795 2021-08-24 14:56:54 UTC https://padlet.com/lhowe/tcoqyj3nqcyje6c/wish/1693790795 Self-Advocacy is a skill that our students need to own (esp credit recovery/SpecEd populations chughes20 https://padlet.com/lhowe/tcoqyj3nqcyje6c/wish/1693791263 2021-08-24 14:57:09 UTC https://padlet.com/lhowe/tcoqyj3nqcyje6c/wish/1693791263 Students Think Grades = Intelligence https://padlet.com/lhowe/tcoqyj3nqcyje6c/wish/1693791939 Many students (especially those who have not had success in school in the past) think that if they get good grades, they must be smart and if they get a bad grade, it means that they are dumb. Often, this leads to them giving up. 

SBG could be a great chance to change the way students feel about themselves. They can better see how they are in control of what they get.]]> 2021-08-24 14:57:31 UTC https://padlet.com/lhowe/tcoqyj3nqcyje6c/wish/1693791939 Relationships are key so we can differentiate for their needs to develop a "self-directed learner." chughes20 https://padlet.com/lhowe/tcoqyj3nqcyje6c/wish/1693794972 2021-08-24 14:59:08 UTC https://padlet.com/lhowe/tcoqyj3nqcyje6c/wish/1693794972 Implement a gradual release of control (faith in our students). chughes20 https://padlet.com/lhowe/tcoqyj3nqcyje6c/wish/1693797188 2021-08-24 15:00:12 UTC https://padlet.com/lhowe/tcoqyj3nqcyje6c/wish/1693797188 Teachers should become experts in their standards and use that knowledge to focus in on the key ideas to drive their teaching. https://padlet.com/lhowe/tcoqyj3nqcyje6c/wish/1693799681 2021-08-24 15:01:25 UTC https://padlet.com/lhowe/tcoqyj3nqcyje6c/wish/1693799681 Feedback trowe https://padlet.com/lhowe/tcoqyj3nqcyje6c/wish/1693800760 Students need to take feedback more seriously and use it to improve their grades. They need to take ownership of learning, but they really haven't been taught how. We need to teach self-advocation and feedback is a great place to start.]]> 2021-08-24 15:01:58 UTC https://padlet.com/lhowe/tcoqyj3nqcyje6c/wish/1693800760 Group 2 https://padlet.com/lhowe/tcoqyj3nqcyje6c/wish/1693800833 -How can we change our mindset?  How can we use Assessment FOR learning?  

-Seems to be a lot less intimidating for students.  

-An ongoing "FORWARD" moving way to grade students.  

-HOW DO WE DO IT?

-A change in mindset to make it FLUID.  "This is how I did, but I can improve and bump it up later in the week."  Re-takes and opportunities to improve ANY TIME.  

-Deadlines potentially cause students to continuously re-take quizzes without taking time to actually improve.  

-Seems like something that can help students with a "growth mindset."

-Nice to be able to advocate for the student based on WHAT YOU SAW, not necessarily how they "graded" on a quiz or test.  Things feel a little more open for teachers to make decisions.

-"It's not where you start, it's where you finish." Very inspirational song that relates to this topic! Students can have the TIME they need to adjust and learn the standards. This system seems more fair and equitable to students!

Curriculum builds - how to get away from including "all" assignments
Pass/Fail - doesn't give feedback for whether or not students mastered material
Why is grading everything bad? 
Teaching deadlines, responsibility, accountability is important - How does that fit in?
If an assignment is not graded, students may not complete it and not get the practice.
How do we grow to mastery if they do not practice? Should we do more formative assessment and less graded assignments? 
Provide multiple attempts on assignments - reteaching - differentiation or modified assignments
Is FA considered in the overall grade or assignment grade?
Careful not to make a stigma of traditional teaching style (grading)
