Mind My Education

@GregJWolcott We use CoreAtlas.io to help Ss lead - and build confidence in - their own self-evaluation. Scaffolded prompts help Ss let their Ts and Guides know where they're at in words, drawings, etc. All this, along with leveled resources and more. Dm or email for a demo!

Please stop using “I can” statements as learning targets & success criteria. Please use “We are learning to..” WALT and WILL (what it looks like) instead. Need to think about #SEL & mental health impact for Ss who “can’t”. WALT & WILL accomplish learning goal w/out negatives.

@KRenaeP We use CoreAtlas.io to help Ss help themselves navigate through educational standards and goals. Maps seem to make things that were once intangible and unclear, more tangible and do-able.

@KRenaeP Re: publically available curricula guides and pacing documents (and standards, too): Are they available in a language Students can clearly grasp (especially our young ones and their supporting families)? Like an accessible directory that can be led and owned by Ss? Thank You!

Food for #education thought? npr.org/2022/02/10/107… @anya1anya reports large - scale peer reviewed study suggesting more worksheets and traditional pre-kindergarden schooling may be detrimental in the long run. And, that Teachers listening to Students happens infrequently.

@MichaelBonner_ This seems unfair to Teachers, Students and supporting Families. However, more transparency as to the what, how, and why of curriculum is welcome. Learning is boosted, and relationships built when Students can with pride answer the ? What did you learn in school today?

I'm praying for every teacher in Indiana right now. The expectation for someone to post year long lesson plans by June is utterly ridiculous. At this point, it seems as if people are creating ideas and laws to make teachers leave our profession.

A short history of the school bell. Part of a new series by @audreywatters to "help us see the possibility for alternatives" for #education today.

@CPete121 @Mr_Rablin CoreAtlas.io has your ideas mapped!

@Mr_Rablin Assessments need to be more student-centered where the student can identify and articulate -what they are learning -where they are in their learning - where they are going next in their learning

If you could narrow down your answer to the following question to just one thing, what would you say? What is the problem with assessment practices in a typical classroom?

@PegGrafwallner @Mr_Rablin Unsure how often it happens but with clear learning goals, a student's formative self assessment alongside Teachers, Parents and other Guides is very helpful for growth... of all involved in #edu.

@Mr_Rablin Is what's being assessed actually important enough to be assessed?

School uniforms don’t improve child behavior, study finds >> news.osu.edu/school-uniform… #edu #k12 #belonging #education #community

@MisterCavey On a map. Ss tangibly see and return to the (standard / target / step), connected to scaffolding questions to advance #metacognition, web resources, and secure communications portal. For Ts: a timesaving organizer year after year! Make your learning map > CoreAtlas.io

I'm curious. Where do your students see their learning targets?

@PaulSolarz @the_gifted_guy Sounds like introspective fun! Want to keep track of all this metacognitive learning? Map it out with CoreAtlas.io #metacognition

I rather be towered by trees than concrete buildings. TBH.

@Mr_Ankrum Depending on the growing zone #map you're in (latitude, longitude, microclimate), tons of green veegie/herbs can grow right outside to replenish your healthy eating needs. Happy to root down more...

I need to (we all need to) incorporate more greens 🥬 in our lives. Currently taking suggestions. 💪🏿✊🏿

@Mr_Rablin @toby_gordon18 Another nice way to *map* communication around learning goals is secure web app CoreAtlas.io Self evaluation journals in spreadsheets felt a bit □B□O□X□Y□ for our Ss. Save time on emails (& spreadsheets) to give just the feedback that promotes learner agency.

@toby_gordon18 Here are some that I’ve used: docs.google.com/presentation/d…

One of the best changes I made in how I give feedback to students is that they collect it all into a feedback portfolio. That way we take isolated incidents and can find patterns and trends to help make meaning. Plus, it gives us a place to celebrate growth.

I will be teaching a graduate seminar this fall on EEG/ERP research. If anyone has a relevant sample syllabus to share with me, I would be very appreciative. Please RT.

@funnymonkey @hypervisible When honest, Students agree with their self - assessment 100% of the time. Clear goals, and space to think it through... Let's (re) start #Education there... vimeo.com/190289261 CoreAtlas.io means #Metacognition

@mrskellylove Could you direct readers to the most important recent news and sources along with this post?

@curriculumblog @msedbostic Self-assessment crossed with observation & competent feedback seem important, all together. #edchat

Questions For Curriculum Design Teams 1. How will we measure student understanding? 2. Are we designing authentic tasks for students? 3. What is the role of formative assessment in measuring the written, taught, and understood curricula? 4. How do we teach for transfer? #edchat

@steph_moore Not a model per search, but Dr. John Hattie's living list of research - backed, high effect size educational practices (contexts, etc.) gives a wide scope of factors to consider when designing teaching/learning experiences. visible-learning.org/hattie-ranking…

@TeachFromRidge One of the research authors (and teacher) here from, "Flipping a Classroom for Academically Talented Students" Open to all, please DM to find a time to chat 》》》 journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117…

Doing a little research here: Have you ever tried a flipped classroom before? If yes, what were it's strengths? What were it's weaknesses? If no, what do you know about it / have you heard? (Your response might be featured in Nate's upcoming book!)
