Fair Isn't Always Equal - Grading Practices

Great ideas about grading practices - needs to consider how I grade and what it means.

Grade Contract for High School Courses

http://www.myweb4ed.com/blog/grade-contract-why-my-students-excelled-with-it/

I saw a post on twitter - https://twitter.com/MyWeb4Ed/status/228138213238272000 - about a grade contract for middle school math and and algebra. It got me thinking about developing communication with parents and students to get students to spend more time getting better grades and greater understanding. I am going to change it up to go with high school math classes.

Tools for Flipclass

5 Tools for Flipclass

Video Creation Tools - need to experiment with some of them

Need to consider what my students will use for fall.  So far Blogger and Google Docs are the main ones I want to use.  Thinking about Google voice and how students will do phone casting and vodcasting of explanations of math problems.

  Flipped Learning: 5 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3LGd88qrTAcharacteristics

  

Community and classroom learning is different in different locations/time of day

Student Centered

Personalized to students: connect with their future careers to current learning

Flexible/collaborative

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1huNoGMsvv1ZTfXsDHDUM2VWt_7pfQnW2pTRr8DsU3zM/edit

PBL, Understanding By Design, Inquiry, blended learning, lecture all pulled together to use teh best for the students we have

http://pnaugle.blogspot.com/2011/10/we-hosted-blog-commenting-party.html

wordle from classroom concerns: students! Classroom and teacher

Supporting students is the goal of the classroom - not being a lazy teacher but finding ways to support students

Allow students to find what works for them, even if the initial video or tool the teacher shares doesn't make sense to teh student - be curator of content and creator of content

Flipped responsibility back to the student

Flipped learning does not require homework - give them tools in class and some do it outside of class

Do not dictate when and where they learn; not teacher driven homework

Flipped Learning Works at All levels: elementary middle upper - flipping gives control to students

Collaborative learning is King

Physical Space: Stop facing the front of the room with blue screens in front of everyone.

Show Admin how learning space fits learning needs of students

@bennettscience: 

Time spent in school should be spent meeting your students' needs, not defining learning for them

Where is the data? Greg Green, Clintondale High School - do I continue to support failure or do I do something different? Homework is to find out about the data at CHS.

@plnaugle (Paula): I  will be hosting several parent tech nights to help them learn about the  tech I am using in my classroom. Last year I hosted a blog commenting  party to get the parents comfortable commenting on my students blogs. 

    This seems like a great idea.

Plan for the rest of the summer to Prepare for 2012-2013

I was reading through Crystal Kirch's Flipping with Kirch blog about her plan for the rest of her summer.  It got me thinking about setting a prioritized list for the rest of my summer.  My first day of teaching students will be August 20. This week is week 7 of my summer vacation. Goes by so fast. I have fewer students but more distinct classes to think about.

Plan
1. Precalculus syllabus (10 students)
2. Algebra 2 syllabus (12 students)
3. Geometry syllabus (10 Students)
4. Algebra 1 syllabus (6 students)
5. Assessments/Assignments for these classes
6. First week of school plan for teaching procedures
7. See if ASSISTments will work for me (I had started looking at it late May)
8. Standards based grading
