Flipping the technology-pedagogy equation: principles to improve assessment a...Tansy Jessop
This document summarizes a presentation about improving assessment and feedback in higher education. It identifies several flaws with current assessment practices, such as a focus on summative over formative assessment and disconnections between content and concepts. It discusses how assessment should drive what students pay attention to and how feedback is the most important factor in learning. Potential solutions discussed include using blogging to make assessment more formative and improve feedback, but challenges remain around workloads and prioritizing formative assessment. Evidence from different studies is presented that blogging can increase engagement, develop critical thinking, and provide more feedback, though formative assessment is still valued less by students.
This document summarizes strategies for helping struggling writers.

This document discusses skills, subskills, and content areas in language teaching and learning. It addresses listening, speaking, vocabulary, grammar, and literature. It also discusses the effective and ineffective uses of group work and presentations. Group work is most effective when students understand exploratory talk and have established ground rules. Presentations work best when the material is interesting and allows audience participation. The document provides resources on exploratory talk and suggests rules for discussion. It outlines tasks for designing course components and getting feedback to implement in class.
This document introduces the Pair Up and Pair Talk textbook and methodology. It is designed to get students talking to each other through a variety of pair and group activities that take 60-90 minutes per unit. Students work from different pages and help each other through tasks like dictations, quizzes, and question-asking. The teacher's role is to introduce activities and monitor students as they do the talking. Using this approach helps students enjoy speaking English, build confidence, and become more motivated learners. When choosing a textbook, teachers should consider whether it aligns with their content, teaching philosophy, situation, style, and ease of use.
This document summarizes a philosophy class discussion by Year Six students. It discusses what the students enjoy about philosophy lessons, including considering different views without right/wrong answers, everyone getting a chance to speak, and discussing interesting topics. The students say philosophy has benefited them by helping them understand others, broadening their thinking, improving listening skills, building confidence, and developing patience and respect. It provides examples of philosophical questions discussed, such as whether the world is predictable or unpredictable, a runaway train dilemma, and a story about Odysseus.
The document discusses the need for critical literacy instruction for four students who struggle with reading. It describes how each student views reading and their literacy identities. The document advocates disrupting commonplace reading practices by selecting texts with social justice themes, considering multiple perspectives, focusing on the sociopolitical aspects of reading, and empowering students to take action and develop literacy agency. The goal is to help students view reading differently and become engaged readers by addressing the underlying theories that have guided ineffective instruction and disengagement in the past.

Effective questioning at the heart of thinking, and teachers should model questioning, leave some questions unanswered, and create a collection of questions that demonstrate curiosity is valued in the school.
This document discusses the Writer's Workshop approach to teaching writing. It emphasizes that students learn to write best when they write frequently, on self-selected topics, and receive guidance from the teacher. Key aspects of the workshop include students choosing their own writing topics, mini-lessons from the teacher, student-teacher conferences, and opportunities for students to publish and share their work. The overall goal is for students to see themselves as writers and gain confidence in the writing process.

This document provides an analysis of water quality data from the Keilor Lodge locality in Melbourne, Australia over a 23 month period from 2013 to 2014. The analysis includes graphical representations and statistical tests of probe and manual water sampling data. Key findings are that chlorine, conductivity, and temperature levels from both probe and manual data were within recommended guidelines. While a bootstrapping technique found no statistical difference between variances of the two sampling methods, graphical analysis showed little practical difference. Recommendations include continuing sampling with either method, but manual sampling would be more cost effective. Further analysis of differences in sample sizes between methods is suggested.

The Revolutionary War in Georgia saw British forces gain control of Savannah and Augusta in 1778 through surprise attacks and swamp maneuvers. However, the Patriot militia scored an important victory over British troops at the Battle of Kettle Creek in 1779, boosting Patriot morale. Later that year, a joint French-Patriot attack in the Siege of Savannah failed to retake the city from the British after only 90 minutes of fighting, resulting in many casualties including the death of Polish soldier Count Casimir Pulaski. After more battles between Loyalists and Patriots, independence was finally secured when the British withdrew from Savannah and Augusta in 1782 with the Treaty of Paris granting American independence.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Inspiration
“Reading the world always precedes reading the
word, and reading the word implies continually
reading the world…. [T]his movement from the
word to the world is always present; even the
spoken word flows from our reading of the
world. In a way, however, we can go further and
say that reading the word is not preceded merely
by reading the world, but by a certain form of
writing it or rewriting it, that is, of transforming it
by means of conscious, practical work. For me,
this dynamic movement is central to the literacy
process.” Friere and Macedo (1987, p. 25)
3. The Traditional English Class
(According to my own schooling and training)
• Get “through” a certain
number of books in each
class– focus on
literature.
• Read, answer questions,
write a paper or do a
project and then you’re
done.
• Lecture proceeds each
unit.
4. Titles taught in more than 25% of the high
schools of the North Central region
between 1886 and 1900 (Applebee, 1974)
5. Common Core ELA Illustrative Texts (6-12
English Language Arts, 2011, p. 58)
6. What does this mean about
teaching English in the twenty-
first century?
7. A Critical Pedagogy
• Identity: Looking at
Ourselves
• Looking Outside of
Ourselves: Education on
the Topics of Class,
Gender, and Race
• Using Critical Theory to
Define and Read
• Taking Action

Guest Speakers
• Guest Speaker Tim
Terrentine: “Education is
the new hustle… think
about every other hustle
in history. There’s always
someone who can take
your hustle away from
you, but no one can take
your education.”

Close Readings
34. Taking Action:
Multi-Genre Project Exhibits
“The theory that speaks out to me is reader response because I can tell my story and let people
know what happens in my life. I look at things very differently because of my seizure
disorder. It limits the things that I can do and want to do.”
“One things that I can’t do is drive a car. I also I won’t be able to work by myself because
something bad might happen and there would be nobody there to help me out. I have fun if
there are blinking lights within the environment, like at dances, Roller World and restaurants
where there are strobe lights.”
“I have to remember to take my medications for the rest of my life. I feel like I shouldn’t have to
take my medications. I think I am fine without my medications, but every time I stop taking
them I end up having a serious seizure. Each time I stop my meds without telling someone
and have a seizure the seizure gets worse!”
“I have to take my medications everyday and not look at any blinking lights or songs that do the
something thing. The thing that scares me the most is dying in front of my family, friends,
and loved ones, or going to the hospital and not being able to talk or move, and enjoy life.”
38. Questions Remain…
• How can this be done with other age groups?
• How can this be done with other demographics?
• What about our lack of TIME– mean, the time we are
granted in each school year and the time it takes for
students to learn and unlearn?
• What about spotty attendance?
• How should we address resistance from students and
other staff?
39. Continuing the Work…
• We are just getting started. Please email Jen if
you’d like to exchange ideas, share resources,
try new lesson plans, and be a part of this
work.
