Educational Reform has made major impacts within education within the past 20 years.
But not until recently has the impacts driven the way we evaluate student achievement and success. There have been several major players who have helped this movement, such as KDE, Gates Foundation, and ARI. Teachers no longer are waiting on state test…Read More5 Comments-

Thank you for your post Tony. Student ownership is certainly what we all are after. Do you have any more details for how you encourage or prompt student analysis of their work?

Students use a data notebook to analyze assessments and performance. We update them every few weeks to keep it fresh in their minds.

Fantastic! Tried and true. John Hattie identified “Self Reported Grades” as 2nd among 252 other factors to increase student achievement( https://visible-learning.org/hattie-ranking-influences-effect-sizes-learning-achievement/)

I am new to student data notebooks this year so I know that I have a lot of room to grow. Tony, what all is included in your data notebooks? Also what grades are they used with? We currently use them with 4th-6th grades, but would love for this to expand all the way down to K. I would appreciate any insights on data notebooks that you or anyone…Read More

I love this strategy. I’ve recently started with data notebooks for our weekly target checks in grammar. Students have to keep up with their original scores and the retakes and analyze their progress in each skill. I’m hoping to be able to incorporate this with on-demand writing as well.

My biggest concern regarding rich curriculum after reviewing the Academic Course Codes is the requirement of staffing for my school. Our financial situation in our district does not allow for more staffing to support the suggested courses. Our school will do the best we can to meet the requirements through creative scheduling.

Yes, one of the biggest concerns of Opportunity and Access is the available resources and the differences from district to district. Whole Child Supports was eliminated after the first federal review asked that schools not have a choice in what services they chose for accountability. The committee wanted all to be required. KDE elected to omit…Read More

Thanks Johnny! If anyone has any suggestions as to how our district can meet these goals with limited staffing, please share!

I agree… we are constantly being asked to do more with less. My only suggestion that is realistic is to use teacher talents and strengths and use those to maximize these goals.

Welcome Jeff! Loved the video and the vision of performance/authentic assessment it offers. Not only an excellent job by the student, but a wonderful example of relevant assessment. Others may want to visit https://www.performanceassessmentresourcebank.org/ where Stanford University has undertaken the building of a performance assessment resource bank.
