Formative Assessment Strategies
If you decided to use this strategy, I would like to come and watch to see how the students respond.
John Hattie-10 Mindframes of Teachers
I had the pleasure of hearing John Hattie October 10. Two of the main ideas of the presentation were: Mindframes of Teachers and students as Visible Learners.
Here are the 10 mindframes teachers must strive to reach:
- My fundamental task is to evaluate the effect of my teaching on students’ learning and achievement.
- The success and failure of my students’ learning is about what I do or don’t do. I am a change agent.
- I want to talk more about learning than teaching.
- Assessment is about my impact.
- I teach through dialogue not monologue.
- I enjoy the challenge and never retreat to “doing my best”.
- It’s my role to develop positive relationships in class and staffrooms.
- I inform all about the language of learning.
- I see learning as hard work.
- Hattie just added this Mindframe-I collaborate
What is EdCamp?
