…somewhere so that people can constantly be checking. It’s almost like if I go to a website for a car wash or something, they’re going to have their hours listed at the bottom where I can always look them up. KITCHEN: Absolutely. So we recommend a learning hub. I’ve already mentioned Google Classroom. If you use Schoology or Microsoft Teams or some other sort of learning management system.

Lang, Chronicle of Higher Education “If I could, I would assign all professors charged with teaching undergraduates one book: Make It Stick: The Science of Successful Learning… It lays out what we know about the science of learning in clear, accessible prose.

Tina Thank you! I will add my go-to source: SHEG – Stanford History Education Group: https://sheg.stanford.edu/ Clare Brown University-Choices Program is great.

…to more 2e information is really helpful. Debbie Sachs Thanks for letting us know you found this post to be helpful, Ashley! Might be a good one to share with teachers and admin!

…as about 10x more valuable than professional development. Love your site and your topics! Thank you. Melissa Shaffer This post totally resonated with me as I currently teach 3 community college classes now, 2 of which I never thought I’d have to address behavior in a college syllabus, but sure wish I did earlier! I actually just finished a draft on why K-12 educators were the perfect match for teaching at community colleges. Are you currently accepting guest bloggers?

How World Language Teaching Has Evolved

Richard Detwiler Hi Jennifer, I was excited to see that you were doing a session on world language teaching, but a little disappointed to see the agenda. The ACTFL inspired changes to language classroom pedagogy are about 15 years behind the forefront of the language teaching evolution. They are all good developments to help teachers get away from the grammar-based syllabus and textbook, but the language teaching revolution that has brought the greatest changes is generally called these days teaching with comprehensible input, abbreviated to CI by teacher practitioners. ACTFL has only recently begun to recognize the CI movement by…

How to Turn Rubric Scores into Grades

…grades or marks (points) because I generally use a 3 or 5 point category scale. With a 5 point scale each item (which comes from my state syllabus) has criteria for grades from A-E or points 5-1. I usually mark out of 15, but it’s easily adjusted to suit the task. Shimon Shari – I really like the CFS rubric and I’ve used something similar with the scale. I’m curious as to how you would translate that into a grade? If a student was “approaching expectations” in each category (7, 4, 4, 2, 2) they would have 19 out of…
