Editor's Notes
- In just a moment we’re going to use Poll Everywhere to collect everyone’s thoughts This will be a word cloud, so terms common to our responses will grow larger
- Poll Title: My top priority as a classroom teacher is.... https://www.polleverywhere.com/free_text_polls/W9fb5kod08UqFHwYIvILP
- Engaging students in the practice of metacognition has many positive effects in the educational process. First half of metacog is self-reg students planning their approach to learning, monitoring their progress, and checking their outcomes
- Anchoring reflective processes are questions about (a) what students think they do and do not know and (b) how they think (Flavell, 1979).
- Metacognitive strategies have been linked, with large effect sizes, to achievement of academic goals, deeper learning, and increased transfer of learning to novel scenarios (Hattie & Donoghue, 2016). Elements of reflection and self-regulation similarly benefit students’ motivation and affect (National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, 2018).
- Attendance related to better exam performance Attendance related to better course grades

- Ask for to volunteers to share…. Summarize: we look for data of all sorts. But boil it down and it’s data
- A project I’ve been leading is the creation of a predictive model for student persistence We’ve gotten 84% accuracy with
- This type of work has helped lead to graduation 20% above national levels for adult learners Students graduate on time with fewer DFW
- Tell the Steve Jobs story We are launching three revolutionary new products: Widescreen iPod with touch controls Mobile phone Internet communications device When really, it was all the same thing: the iPhone The fun part of my job is helping folks think about tech in this way: you can get a ton of different benefits from the same tool, but you need to start with the end in sight and then decide how you want to get there
- List of all assignments in course along with visual cues about submission, grade, etc. What’s my course grade? Where am I struggling most? Should I go to tutoring? What might I be missing? I thought I turned that in?
- List of all assignments in course along with visual cues about submission, grade, etc. What’s my course grade? Where am I struggling most? Should I go to tutoring? What might I be missing? I thought I turned that in?
- Add attendance
- Create a grading scale
- Color code Highlight missing work, low scores, etc. See at a quick glance if a student has a concerning trend with engagement
- Ask them to take a look, first. What questions do they have? What are they seeing? What was the average performance? How many students didn’t submit? Where did most students perform? What do we need to do from here?
- Whether you have a tool like Starfish or you use API calls to extract grades and put them into a data warehouse The end result is a machine learning algorithm finds the patterns from thousands of records Highly accurate predictions But, the rub is you need the data and interactions from the gradebook and LMS
