I feel like a broken record since so many others have mentioned standards based grading, but that has been our district wide push this year, and I have enjoyed it. It has created more work for me as I find I am letting kids retake exams and redo papers more than I have in the past, but I like the mastery that comes from it!

Yes, we use IC so when a student retakes an exam, for example, I just override the older grade with the newer one!

After Looking over the KUACC and grasping a better understanding, the biggest issues I see are that there is this big push for multiple options and enrichment. We are living in an era in this state where all we do is cut education funding, and as we all know, staff and programs often take a large hit with the cuts. How does a school keep adding…Read More

Yes, more with less is the trend. Has us all looking for ways to work together and maximize resources.

Yes, working together is the only way our small district will be able to overcome the challenges in the Opportunity and Access. Our staff numbers dwindle every single year.

After looking over the Kentucky’s Uniform Academic Course Codes webpage, I have two main concerns. The first major concern is having the staff to support a well-diversified curriculum, but there is also the threat of larger districts with these courses and more and more students switching and moving away from our schools. As always, we will a…Read More

One method of assessment that I use within my classroom is the “gallery walk.” I incorporate movie/TV quotes or song lyrics and hang them on the walls. Students then have time to circle the room and study each quote. Depending on the unit, students must recognize grammar mistakes or any literary devices. It is great for engaging the stu…Read More

If students can recognize good work and find errors to make it great, then how much better will they be at producing great work themselves. I love the idea of using a gallery walk to do this.

The best thing that I use to assess my students includes numerous Google Apps for Education. I use Google Classroom as my home for the students to get their work. Slides,…Read More

Wow!
Has 1 to 1 capability helped in your ability to use formative assessment?-
Yes! Students can collaborate and share many assignments, I can use technology to administer exit tickets, and 1 to 1 gives way to creative presentation opportunities. Socratic.com is great for quick class feedback for bell ringers and exit tickets.

Great! Hope opportunities like this will continue to grow.

This is great! I have recently been having my students do their notes in google slides and they love it! And they will always have them in their Google Drive! No more “lost” notes.

I love this idea!

Were you trained on Google classroom or did you just start playing around on it to figure out all of the different capabilities it offers? I would love to attend a training on how to use google classroom in a math classroom. I’m especially interested in how students would show their work.

A lot of work, but like you say a lot of pay off no doubt. Are you entering grades in Infinite Campus differently 1,2,3,4… versus 0-100? If so, does Infinite Campus allow you to alter the grade book to accommodate for this?
