Based on the information in this chapter, how can you as an individual educator or as a member of a professional learning team provide a rationale for having greater involvement of students in decision making within classrooms? 2.)

How can planning and enacting ways to engage students up front in their own learning be reinforced with descriptive feedback? 4.) How do you see ELL’s, ELL’s with disabilities, or other students with disabilities participating in assessment as learning? 5.) How can student voice in assessment as learning have more of a presence in your classroom? 6.) How can assessment as learning promote student equity?

Editor's Notes
- #3 ZPD: dissemination process. Gradual "bridge" or release of responsibility (a multi-phase process embeded in instruction) moves responsibility from teaching to learning.
- #4 Involve students in the decision making process no matter their age, learning disability language proficiency, or achievement. Devise ways of expanding their engagement in instructional assessment. Ease them into becoming indep. Thinkers/doers. Guide students in setting personal goals & indiv. Plan
- #5 With technology we are no longer limited to a single classroom: Mystery Skype : Skype in the Classroom
- #6 Reflection lets teachers examine how working with students from linguistically and culturally diverse backgrounds is important....to connect with language, cultures, families. Teachers need to reflect. There are challenges. It’s necessary to overcome them. Many teachers will not be familiar with students’ languages and cultures at first.
- #7 Including cultural identity in the process of planning assessment & personal connections = Provide a Spring board as well as lead to a deeper understanding
- #8 (Pg. 142) Include students in planning of assessments. Semantic maps: students explain to each other the importance of ideas. One way to help students see the interconnectedness. Students can “recreate” or “rearrange” ideas.
- #9 Promotes metacognitive, metalinguistic and sociocultural awareness. Motivates students to analyze quality of their work ELL’s do this as a whole group activity (entire class)
- #11 1.) I can describe where the story takes place Y/N 2.) I can tell when the story takes place Y/N 3.) I can describe who the character are in the story. 4.) I can tell what the characters did Y/N
- #12 Students may assume many roles to reflect on their learning such as scientists, mathematicians, historians or researchers.
- #13 Metacognitive awareness=how one thinks
- #14 Lists metacognitive strategies that students might engage in when attempting to solve math problems. Students are checking their own learning & developing a repertoire of strategies to apply to learning again…”different tasks” (Gottleib, 2016, p. 151).
- #15 Product and process assessments can be combined. Students respond by checking & then reflect. For example, a step by step process to compose biographical info. Followed by open-ended “reflective” questions (Gottleib, 2016, p. 153).
- #16 Pg. 154 Too often teachers dominate discussions in class and leave little rom for “speech” in class. Peer assessment give the opportunity for meaningful discussion & practice of academic language (tied to standards & activities/tasks within the unit.
- #17 Assessment as learning revolves around “students”. Goal: student agency…when students gradually take responsibility for their own learning & become integrally attached to it through “self & peer” assessment. They become familiar with the role and content standards as well as lang. proficiency/development standards. E.g. lifelong learners..
- #18 https://www.teachingchannel.org/videos/peer-teaching--2 Questions: Could you see the “traffic light” system implemented for quick self-assessment? What does peer support offer for efficient re-teaching? (For ELL’s?) What different and useful information could you learn from students self-assessment as compared to your own assessment of their work?
- #19 to rate existing knowledge to show understanding to indicate responses to questions to ask a question to seek clarification to raise a point to rate achievement to create a formative dialogue.
- #20 Pass out slips of paper with individual questions. Have students work in pairs with “elbow buddy” to answer the questions. Allow 5-7 minutes for this activity. Next: have students use their cups and share with the class what their consensus within their group was. 1. Student group will read the question and “listeners” e.g. the rest of the class will make use of their cups.
