Name
Developing Reflective Learners - Examination of Grading Practices and Feedback, Leading for Culturally Responsive Practices
Date & Time
Thursday, October 17, 2024, 2:45 PM - 3:40 PM
Description
After attending a two-day workshop on Assessment and Grading with Rick Wormeli in the fall of 2014, a team of educators from Blake Middle School returned with ideas, excitement, questions, and a concrete desire to provide actionable and meaningful feedback to our students. From this came a small pilot which subsequently grew into a full scale school-wide initiative with all disciplines utilizing standards based reporting (SBR). Participation in our session will provide a framework (professional development, communication, and structures) for those seeking to learn, explore, and potentially implement equitable systems of feedback (i.e. SBR) in their schools - shared from the perspectives of building-based leadership, department chairs, and teachers. We will outline successes and challenges we have experienced, along with the adaptations that were implemented to incorporate traditional methods of reporting student progress with these systems of feedback.
