Student Agency: What Do Students Want to Create to Demonstrate Their Learning?  (Don't just differentiate the task - differentiate the assessment)  by Catlin Tucker

Student Agency: What Do Students Want to Create to Demonstrate Their Learning?  (Don't just differentiate the task - differentiate the assessment)  by Catlin Tucker | Scriveners' Trappings | Scoop.it

"In my blog post titled “3 Ways to Build Student Agency into Your Lessons,” I encouraged teachers to design lessons that allow students to make key decisions about their learning. Student agency is one of the easiest ways that teachers can begin to personalize learning. If students are invited to make decisions about the subject or topic they focus on, how they complete a task, or what they produce to demonstrate their learning, the learning path and products will be different for individual students.

 

"In addition to personalizing learning, giving students agency is a powerful motivator. When students are given opportunities to select the lens they look through or decide how they want to approach a task, they are more likely to be interested and engaged in the learning.

 

"A simple strategy for increasing student agency in your classroom is to provide students with a choice board of options they can choose from to demonstrate their learning at the end of an investigation, unit, or project."

Agency for students. Let them choose. (You curate the choices.)

21st Century Critical Literacy: Is Traditional Reading & Writing Enough?

Is traditional reading and writing enough to be considered literate in the 21st century?

Check out this slideshow from Silvia Rosenthal Tolisano which asks us to "rethink our notion of critical literacy." She also suggests that we "develop authentic learning and assessment opportunities {as we} upgrade and amplify our curriculum."

"It is a myth that all it takes to write is to sit down in front of a blank page, to begin at the beginning and write through to the end, with no planning, break, editing, or changes in between. And yet, this is sometimes what we ask our students to do. Good writers plan and revise, rearrange and delete text, re-reading and producing multiple drafts before they produce their finished document. This is what a process writing approach is about."

10 Predictions for Personalized Learning for 2013

10 Predictions for Personalized Learning for 2013 | Scriveners' Trappings | Scoop.it

What will Personalized Learning look like in 2013? The main change that will happen in teaching and learning in 2013 will be about empowerment. Teachers and learners will be more empowered to take charge of their learning. We will see this through the evidence they share as they learn.

Interesting, in other ways this could also be seen as framing learning as a constant performance of assessment. Where do you draw the line ?
