How have helpful responses impacted you and your effectiveness? How have unhelpful responses impacted you and your effectiveness? allison_holicky https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/G4Ephs3456/wish/692526248 2020-08-21 22:27:05 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/G4Ephs3456/wish/692526248 Chapter 3 Question to Consider: Recall something you learned to do outside of the school context. What motivated you to learn and to continue learning when you struggled? allison_holicky https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/G4Ephs3456/wish/692526249 2020-08-21 22:27:05 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/G4Ephs3456/wish/692526249 Chapter 3 Question for Consideration: Some teachers think, "If I motivate students to learn with points now, they'll realize success and become internally motivated."

How might the use of points-- the addition and subtraction throughout a student's day-- affect those students' relationships with adults and their self-concept about whether school is "for" them? allison_holicky https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/G4Ephs3456/wish/692526251 2020-08-21 22:27:05 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/G4Ephs3456/wish/692526251 Chapter 4 Question for Consideration: What confidence or uncertainty do you have that two teachers in your school would assign the same grade to a student? allison_holicky https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/G4Ephs3456/wish/692526253 2020-08-21 22:27:05 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/G4Ephs3456/wish/692526253 Chapter 4 Question for Consideration: Are there teachers with reputations as "hard" or "easy" graders? What, specifically, defines them as that? How does this categorization make you feel? How does it make that teacher feel? How do students react? allison_holicky https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/G4Ephs3456/wish/692526254 2020-08-21 22:27:05 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/G4Ephs3456/wish/692526254 Chapter 3 Golden Lines (a golden line is a piece of text that stands out to you, that makes you think, that resonates with you, that challenges you, etc.; does not have to be a full sentence, but it can). allison_holicky https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/G4Ephs3456/wish/692526257 2020-08-21 22:27:05 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/G4Ephs3456/wish/692526257 Chapter 4 Golden Lines (a golden line is a piece of text that stands out to you, that makes you think, that resonates with you, that challenges you, etc.; does not have to be a full sentence, but it can). allison_holicky https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/G4Ephs3456/wish/692531283 2020-08-21 22:34:41 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/G4Ephs3456/wish/692531283 Chapter 5 Question for Consideration: Are students motivated to achieve success or to avoid failure? What specific actions, policies, or words by teachers cause students to experience one type of motivation instead of the other? allison_holicky https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/G4Ephs3456/wish/692531873 2020-08-21 22:35:37 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/G4Ephs3456/wish/692531873 Chapter 5 Question for Consideration: Do you think of your tasks at work as performance or mastery goals?

How does your school's treatment of awards and honors promote or undermine a growth or fixed mindset? allison_holicky https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/G4Ephs3456/wish/692533086 2020-08-21 22:37:28 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/G4Ephs3456/wish/692533086 Chapter 5 Golden Lines (a golden line is a piece of text that stands out to you, that makes you think, that resonates with you, that challenges you, etc.; does not have to be a full sentence, but it can). allison_holicky https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/G4Ephs3456/wish/692533643 2020-08-21 22:38:21 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/G4Ephs3456/wish/692533643 Chapter 6 Question for Consideration: Review your classroom's current grading policies through the pillars of our vision: how accurate are they? how bias-resistant? how motivating? allison_holicky https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/G4Ephs3456/wish/692533905 2020-08-21 22:38:45 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/G4Ephs3456/wish/692533905 Chapter 6 Question for Consideration: How much does this book's vision for equitable grading align with your own, personal vision for grading? What concerns do you have about this vision? What are your hopes? How much does this vision match against your school's overall vision?
