What's Worth Fighting Against by Gretchen Kriegel https://padlet.com/gretchen_kriegel/xm2dpa15fo0z Professional Development 0/1/17 en-us 2017-09-01 11:16:34 UTC 2017-09-01 16:35:29 UTC hello@padlet.com Use of Average gretchen_kriegel https://padlet.com/gretchen_kriegel/xm2dpa15fo0z/wish/184177158 Agree, if curriculum and instruction are rigoruous, then all students will make mistakes and egage in the learning proccess.  
There is a difference between being great memorizing and reguritating, and thinking/problem sloving.   

SRR takes us in the direction of demanding students to think at deep levels and have a better understanding of themselves as learners.]]> 2017-09-01 12:08:10 UTC https://padlet.com/gretchen_kriegel/xm2dpa15fo0z/wish/184177158 Grading Homework gretchen_kriegel https://padlet.com/gretchen_kriegel/xm2dpa15fo0z/wish/184233328 "absence of a grade does not imply the absence or rigor"

If we remove this would we encourage students to be okay with making mistakes?]]> 2017-09-01 15:34:20 UTC https://padlet.com/gretchen_kriegel/xm2dpa15fo0z/wish/184235309 Grade students on knowledge and skills not responsibility. https://padlet.com/gretchen_kriegel/xm2dpa15fo0z/wish/184235844 2017-09-01 15:35:59 UTC https://padlet.com/gretchen_kriegel/xm2dpa15fo0z/wish/184235844 "F" List rebecca_dewitte https://padlet.com/gretchen_kriegel/xm2dpa15fo0z/wish/184235930 Students are on F list and ineligible to practice/play if we record scores as students are learning.  Are we entering grades to meet deadlines when we're not really ready to assess a student?  Students are penalized if they don't know something yet.  State needs to change mindset. We don't mean at the end of the semester, but during the semester.]]> 2017-09-01 15:36:16 UTC https://padlet.com/gretchen_kriegel/xm2dpa15fo0z/wish/184235930 Grading: We think that employability skills are important especially if you are preparing students for work. In the workforce, employees are evaluated on not only their performance but also their ability to be on time, be a team player, ability to work with others, etc. If you don't meet a deadline in your job, you could get fired. https://padlet.com/gretchen_kriegel/xm2dpa15fo0z/wish/184236403

What if a teacher has 6 different classes?

]]> 2017-09-01 15:41:57 UTC https://padlet.com/gretchen_kriegel/xm2dpa15fo0z/wish/184237571 Are we addressing skill deficits? https://padlet.com/gretchen_kriegel/xm2dpa15fo0z/wish/184239632 If a student scores a 1, we pull them for interventions. If a student continues to show little or no growth, how do we address that? Is that solution any different from what we do now?]]> 2017-09-01 15:48:06 UTC https://padlet.com/gretchen_kriegel/xm2dpa15fo0z/wish/184239632 Use of the Average https://padlet.com/gretchen_kriegel/xm2dpa15fo0z/wish/184239658 We are struggling with the idea of not using averages. What if a student scores proficient on a subject the first time they are assessed and while we are directly teaching the subject, but then do not score proficient the rest of the year? Are they still proficient because they did it that one time, or are they not proficient because they did not continue to do it?]]> 2017-09-01 15:48:10 UTC https://padlet.com/gretchen_kriegel/xm2dpa15fo0z/wish/184239658 Conflicting Ideas on the grading scale https://padlet.com/gretchen_kriegel/xm2dpa15fo0z/wish/184240570 The article suggests we use an A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0 grading scale. We've been taught to not associate proficiency scale values with a letter grade, but it seems to make the process of converting a lot easier. How are we going to reconcile these conflicting ideas?]]> 2017-09-01 15:51:10 UTC https://padlet.com/gretchen_kriegel/xm2dpa15fo0z/wish/184240570 We need to look at offering more apprenticeship / certificate programs for our students. Not everyone needs a four-year degree to get a job with good pay and benefits. We also need to have more career tours at the MS & HS levels to showcase what is available in our city and county. https://padlet.com/gretchen_kriegel/xm2dpa15fo0z/wish/184241619 2017-09-01 15:54:58 UTC https://padlet.com/gretchen_kriegel/xm2dpa15fo0z/wish/184241619 Grading Scale https://padlet.com/gretchen_kriegel/xm2dpa15fo0z/wish/184242276 What happens when one district considers a 2 as proficient and meets standard and another district says that is a 4?

]]> 2017-09-01 15:57:03 UTC https://padlet.com/gretchen_kriegel/xm2dpa15fo0z/wish/184242276 We aren't just teaching one skill to one student. We are working with students from where they are to where they can achieve.
