How the worlds best schools come out on top.
Individual Teachers•Aware of areas to grow in their practice•Gain understanding of best practice that is
research based (meta-analysis)•Are motivated to improve•Have high expectations•Have a shared purpose

“If students have not been told where they are going, it is
unlikely that they will arrive.” – Shirley Clark

Learning Intentions“I can become curious about
something in the research I want to inquire further into.”

Learning Intentions“I can outline the key principals of AFL and articulate what that
looks like in practice.”

Proficient Readers Research
Successful readers – regardless of age – are active, purposeful, strategic, and metacognitive.
![Page 8: SFU Symposium / Keynote October 3rd, 2013](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103110/546fe4c9b4af9fbe0a8b457a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Proficient Readers Research
They construct meaning and learn from text by using cognitive strategies before, during, and after reading.

“No matter what grade level you teach, no matter what content you teach, no matter what you teach with, your goal is to improve students’ comprehension and understanding.”

“Student learning is enhanced when teachers at all grades, teaching all subjects, see themselves as teachers of literacy.”

“Assessment is the beginning and the end of my teaching. It defines my culture, my relationships, my learning community, my values, and my beliefs about teaching and learning.” - Matt Rosati
![Page 15: SFU Symposium / Keynote October 3rd, 2013](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103110/546fe4c9b4af9fbe0a8b457a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Our Traditional System
• Students are penalized if the don’t learn fast enough... Even though we know learning is an individual / developmental process.
• What you do at the beginning of the course will always count against you... Despite the fact the student might now understand what they did wrong and how to prevent it in the future.
• Grades include all student attributes... Even though we know grades should reflect the student’s ability to meet PLOs.

friendly language separate from the
activity instructions make it visible discuss with students
why they are learning it

can see it clearly and if it stays still.

Another way of thinking about feed back is…
What’s working?How do I know?
What’s not?Why not?
What’s next?What is the fix?

Carol Dweck (2006)
Fixed vs. Growth Mindset.
Fixed – Believe they have to work with whatever intelligence they have because it
can’t be increased.
They resist novel challenges if they can’t succeed immediately.
They’d rather not try than be perceived as dumb.
![Page 42: SFU Symposium / Keynote October 3rd, 2013](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103110/546fe4c9b4af9fbe0a8b457a/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Carol Dweck (2006)
Fixed vs. Growth Mindset.
Growth – Believe intelligence can be built through life.
See working harder as a way to improve.
They persist and try a wide variety of solutions when given novel tasks.

Harlow (1949)
Radical finding, there was a third drive.
The performance of the task provided intrinsic reward.
The monkeys solved the problem simply because they found it gratifying to solve
the puzzle.

2Harlow (1949)
Rewarded the monkey with raisons.
“Introduction of food in the present experiment served to disrupt performance, a phenomena not
reported in the literature.”
The monkeys made more errors and solved the puzzles less frequently.

When goals are imposed and incentivized…
Focus is narrowed on achieving only that goal.

Any extrinsic reward should be unexpected
and offered only after the
task is completed.

If it is true that carrot and stick motivators don’t
work and often do harm, what are the implications for us as teachers in our grading and assessment
practices?

The Benefits of Formative Assessment
Constantly weighing the pig won’t make it fatter...

The Latin root word for assessment is "assidere" which means to sit beside.

Assessment is done
with, and not to,
students to help them
grow in their
learning.

- Costa and Kallick (1992)
