AFL notes 11/16/2011
Plan for next year
· Behavioral consequences for behavioral problems
o Not reading, not completing homework, not doing., . . something
o Instead of taking away points, you serve a detention that afternoon/next day to complete the work.
· Detailed syllabus
o Detailed options for retakes/summative assessments
o Detailed daily expectations
o Definitions of SBG, summative, formative, feedback, etc
o Behavioral consequences for missing work, incomplete assignment
o Grading scale/mastery levels explained
o Formative assessmentsà expectations, grading, importance
o Advisory requirements
§ Reassessments/reassessment price done during advisory time
· Differently weighted standards???
o Some are more important than others and should be weighted as such. Use percentages
· Student checklist/score tracker
Personal Notes
· Goal setting. . . so good, but how to teach it. . . back to journals! Focus on concepts, not assessment tools (get an A, turn in homework doesn’t work)
o Weekly reflections on progress, necessary improvements
· Need to redo standards and student checklists (formative, artifacts, summative)
o MAYBE NOT. . . SEE DESOTO CHART
§ Graphing instead of just listing scores
§ Stapling assessments for one standard together and keeping them in the folder. Practice stays elsewhere
§ Maybe next year require binder and go through set up/organization repeatedly
· How to include behavioral/nonacademic components
o Averaging them together puts behavior back in the grade which is the problem we are trying to rectify currently. . . need a separate way to indicate it. . .
o Doesn’t SIS have a behavior grade section? Off to the side of the end-of-term report?
· Interdepartmental projects
o Do the experiment with me, write the paper with Beth, do the historical connection with Steve. . .
· Look at MO Frameworks to develop “Behavioral Standard”.
o Needs a REALLY good scoring rubric
· So can we not use SIS next year? Please?
· Power-Law calculations used to calculate learning trend
o Pinnacleà Global scholar
o Most recent grades count more than early stuff
§ Oh my goodness it’s wonderful
§ Have to put all the level 1 (teacher guided) in on the same date, all the level 2 in on the same date, etc. . . because otherwise pinnacle calculates it wrong. . .
§ Do we need DOK levels in this?
· 5-0 scale
o 5-A+
o 4-A
o 3-B
o 2-C
o 1-D
o 0-F
· Graphing progress instead of just the chart. Kids can SEE the trend
· Marzano Conjunctive Scale (green assessment for learning book)
o To get an A, you have to have no 3’s on any standards
o To get a B, you have to have no 2’s, etc
o There’s no averaging
· DeSoto has behavior as a separate grade. . . not averaged into the academic grade
· Need report card rubrics for each standard
· Do we really need a 5?
