REVIEW

 Using Assessments ThoughtfullyArt and Science of Teaching / Using Polling Technologies to Close Feedback Gaps

Feedback Gap: The more time that elapses between a student response

and teacher feedback, the less metacognitive reflection that takes place.

The Benefits of Polling Technologies The recent emergence of polling technologies—such as

clickers, student response systems, and free online resources like Poll Everywhere or Socrative—can potentially diminish or even eradicate the feedback gap.

Educational Practices that Impact Student Achievement:

Review

Visible Learning, John Hattie, 2009

Visible Learning

This unique and ground-breaking book is the result of 15 years research and synthesizes over 800 meta-analyses on the influences on achievement in school-aged students. It builds a story about the power of teachers, feedback, and a model of learning and understanding. The research involves many millions of students and represents the largest ever evidence based research in recent history.

Visible Learning For Teachers

The main ideas of the book are: ~ The big idea is – know thy impact! Expert teachers are not wedded to specific teaching strategies – rather, they regularly focus on evaluating the effects they have on students, and adjust teaching methods accordingly.

~ When teaching and learning are “visible” – that is, when it is clear what teachers are teaching and what students are learning,

student achievement increases.

CHAPTER 9: MOST IMPORTANT!!

Visible Learning and the Science of How We LearnThe book is structured in three parts –

Learning within classrooms

Learning foundations, which explains the cognitive building blocks of knowledge acquisition

‘Know thyself’ which explores, confidence and self-knowledge

It also features extensive interactive appendices containing study guide questions to encourage critical thinking, annotated bibliographic entries with recommendations for further reading, links to relevant websites and YouTube clips, and the meta-analyses from the original Visible Learning project by rank order.

Carousel Brainstorm Protocol

Purpose: of the carousel brainstorm process is to allow participants to share their ideas and build a common vision or vocabulary; the facilitator can use this process to assess group knowledge or readiness around a variety of issues.

Procedure

Before activity identify several questions or issues related to your topic.

Post your questions or issues on poster paper Divide your group into smaller teams. Give a different color of marker to each team, and have each

team start at a particular question. At each question, participants should brainstorm responses

or points they want to make about the posted question. After a couple of minutes with each question, signal the

teams to move to the next question. You can conclude the activity having each team highlight and

report key points at their initial question or by having participants star the most important points and discussing those.

Ingham ISD & I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our presenters taking time to build our collaborative knowledge to increase student outcomes this year. The presenters are; Michael Moreno, Nate Stevenson, Roberta Perconti, Amy Hodgson, Amber Knapp, and Dr. Kevin Feldman.
