• Drop-In Coaching: Building a Standards-Based Final in the Final Hour

    Bring your narrowed priority standards and course-alike buddies to plan a standards-based final that can be graded for student proficiency. It is our hope that we can collaborate and co-create finals that allow students to successfully demonstrate standards/skill based concepts that their current course grade may not reflect. Finals in a pandemic may need to be creative, alternative, and specific to narrowed demonstrations of proficiency. It is also our goal to reduce anxiety, encourage student participation and motivation on finals, and relieve grading time.

    NO REGISTRATION REQUIRED - Group Meets from 3:00 - 4:00 each day.

  • Grading in a Pandemic

    As we finish 2020, educators are increasingly pressured to consider student and family responses to the pandemic and the overwhelming impact on student learning. In this session, we will consider how grades and traditional grading systems are reflective of inequitable structures exacerbated by current conditions. Reconsidering traditional grading in markedly non-traditional learning circumstances may help alleviate teacher and learner anxiety, bring hope and motivation, while also ensuring accurate measuring and capturing of student growth by course end.
