Whatever your back to school plan might be, I'd suggest that the first month be spent with the theme of empathy. Try to understand everyone's situation and design the best experience with whatever limitations, restrictions you face. This doesn't happen in a day. It's complicated

This is excellent pedagogy for distance educators and remote educators. Thank you for sharing.

As we navigate through this remote learning & digital landscape, many teachers are wondering how to continue the critical work of responsive instruction... How do we capture evidence of learning, online, in a variety of ways?  #sd36learn #remotelearning #Cov19EDU #caedchat

I think we need to believe that we can move the learning forwards, and to do that, our frequent, timely and specific feedback is a key player #sd36learn. + so many ways to give a personal touch that means so much. Teachers, I ask you to share some of the ways you ‘feedback.’

And it’s not just parents who could use a better understanding!

More parent education might help. I can’t tell you how many think that a grade will better tell them how their kiddo is doing. It’s because we haven’t adequately shown them other ways. CSL from a parent lens is pretty inadequate right now.

TOTALLY agree. Told sts they could do a retest if they thought they could improve. Yes but what’s my grade? I didn’t give a grade. Just feedback. If they wanted to not do retest then I’d give them a grade. So hard teaching them grade is not the most important thing, learning is

If you want to learn more, you can read the wonderful @Kalsi_A37's article about her gradeless classroom: surreyenglishta.wordpress.co…

Going Gradeless

Surrey English teacher Amrita Kalsi discusses how assessment works in her learning-centred English classroom, from mindset to metacognition, from curricular competencies to student-determined grade…

And what I do know is that we’re on the right track with gradeless assessment. Kids love to learn, but they shut down to some degree when that learning turns from bond to ranking. Give gradeless a try if you haven’t! /6

What our team will reflect on: better modelling & preparing our outliers. What educators can reflect on: are grades necessary? Can grades coexist with genuine mentorship relationships? Or are they harmful to our collective curiosity & to the bonds necessary for joyful learning? 5

It wasn’t fun to see the shift. We’ve focused so much on building relationships to open kids to feedback, and the walls went right back up. They were tense, even after months of prep, even when knowing they had been overwhelmingly successful. 4/

But turn that feedback into a grade, & their stress 🚀s & they almost beg for the mark they want. Everything in their body language and mindset changes from “I’m learning!” to “Gimme that empty status symbol.” It’s an abrupt end to their striving. 3/

The 3 of us panel conferenced with 70 kids in our gradeless secondary class—most knew where they were at, maybe 20% were off by 10%. They genuinely appreciate feedback & generally know what it means in terms of their achievement. 2/
