Shifting From Shifting ToLearning at school Learning anytime/anywhere

Teaching as a private event Teaching as a public collaborative practice

Learning as passiveparticipant

Learning in a participatory culture

Linear knowledge Distributed knowledge

Learning as individuals Learning in a networked community

Teacher driven (teacher gives knowledge) Student driven(student constructs knowledge)

Summative assessment Formative assessmentTeacher is expert Student’s knowledge is valid starting pointPassive Active

Content driven (memorization and regurgitation of facts)

Process driven (analysis, exploration, synthesis)

Summative assessment is commonly used to certify the amount that individuals have learned and to provide an accountability measure. Summative assessments hold teachers accountable for standardized performance. They measure how well the teacher taught the curriculum.

Formative assessment, in which the assessment is integrated with the instruction (and sometimes serves as the instruction) with the purpose of deepening learning, can replace summative assessment in many cases. Formative assessment measures and supports learning, not teaching.

How do you do it?-- TPCK and Understanding by DesignThere is a new curriculum design model that helps us think about how to make assessment part of learning. Assessment before , during, and after instruction.

Teacher and Students as Co-Curriculum Designers

Assessment is part of the learning process- student directed or teacher directed.

1. What do you want to know and be able to do at the end of this activity, project, or lesson?

2. What evidence will you collect to prove mastery? (What will you create or do)

3. What is the best way to learn what you want to learn?

4. How are you making your learning transparent? (connected learning)

Connected Learner ScaleThis work is at which level(s) of the connected learner scale?Explain.

Share (Publish & Participate) –

Connect (Comment and Cooperate) –

Remixing (building on the ideas of others) –

Collaborate (Co-construction of knowledge and meaning) –

Collective Action (Social Justice, Activism, Service Learning) –

Feedback• Task -oriented- Provides information on how well the task is being accomplished .

• Clarification- Looks at process.How to improve the work.

• Self-regulating - Encourages learner to evaluate their own work.

• Appreciation- specific praise linked to affective growth.

What makes a difference to student learning?

Constant and meaningful feedback -- The Student --Teacher relationship --Challenging goals

John Hattie, University of Auckland 2003

HOW TO BLOSSOM WITH EXPECTATION – BUILDING EFFICACY

1. Examine (pay close attention)

2. Expose (what they did specifically)

3. Emotion (describe how it makes you feel)

4. Expect (blossom them by telling them what this makes you expect in the future)

5. Endear (through appropriate touch)

WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?

Change is inevitable: Growth is optional

Change produces tension- it pushes us out of our comfort zone.

“Creative tension- the force that comes into play at the moment we acknowledge our vision is at odds with the current reality.” --Senge

COURAGE TO SHIFT THE WAY WE TEACH AND LEARNTHE ART OF RELEASE…

It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power. ~~Alan Cohen
