Using Learning Stories for Student Reflection

Rachel Lasky I’m still listening to the interview and it inspired me! Idea: create a template doc and copies for all but here’s the kicker! In the header you link rubrics and instructions for all reflections so they always see it at the top of every page! For example: Link to rubrics 1. New reflections, always write at the top of the document, not the end 2. Title each reflection in this format “Unit 2” I will be using this in my theatre class, perhaps in choir and typing. Have to think on it more. Margaret Harris-Shoates Thanks for sharing…

A Simple Trick for Success with One-Pagers

…department’s rubric for written work – we have one for personal response (ideas + presentation) and another, more elaborate one for essays (content + support + form/structure + choices + correctness). It transfers nicely to one-pagers, and provides enough buffer for the kids who fear the artistic components. Here are our rubrics: https://www.alberta.ca/assets/documents/edc-2019-2020-ela30-1-scoring-guide.pdf John Lahmon This will be my first use of a one-pager. Your information will be most valuable as I present it to the students.. Jordan s. This is an amazing idea! As I was reading my brain was coming up with all kinds of way I could…

Powtoon: Fun, High-Quality Videos Made Easy

…looks like a great resource – thanks for sharing! I enjoy having these resources available, especially if I can give students an option (e.g. make a Powtoon OR a stop-action lego video). As always, though, becoming adept at the software is not as important as using the software to demonstrate mastery of the material/target skill. Do you have tips for assessing critical thinking projects or example rubrics for technology-based assignments? Debbie Sachs Hi, Ashlea! As with any rubric, I think it’s just really important to first know the intent of the project. If the intent is to learn how to…

Deeper Class Discussions with the TQE Method

…best, Marisa Marisa E Thompson I often find rubrics limiting the learning but providing minimums, maximums, and vague descriptors. Perhaps it is because I am used to the process and know my expectations that I do not use a delineated rubric. Or perhaps it is because the points are minimal compared to the other skills we practice and their corresponding points. I was inspired by the Single-Point Rubric and the move to Mastery & Standards-based Grading. I read the standard associated with reading comprehension and that is an “8” for me. Go beyond this and earn a 9 or 10….

Conquering National Board Certification (and Why It’s Totally Worth It)

…it is a timed test. Holly Burcham Hi Moira, My name is Holly and I work for Cult of Pedagogy. I jumped over to the NBCT Facebook group and asked these questions, and the first response came right away! Here’s what we got back: “Look at the component 1 info for your area. There should be some sample exercises and scoring rubrics. Also, look at standard 2 and read carefully. When you schedule the test, it should tell you how long each section is but that info should also be in the component 1 materials.” Hope this helps! Holly Burcham…
