Feedback Bootcamp Tomorrow...

-

So, I updated the English 120 Gradebooks, and, now, I need to pause and think about what's happening tomorrow in all classes. The Feedback Bootcamp. Just Step #1. I have audio for it, so if they want to listen and flip through slides on their phones, they can. Then they'll read a chosen article on feedback and post to a Padlet summarizing their thoughts.

+ I printed off handouts with the links to the bootcamp, the audio, and the Padlet; these handouts, for English 110, can be recycled from class to class. I'll take screenshots of each Padlet after the class time wraps up.

+ I also printed off checklists the students can fill in for Large Project 1 (both English 110 and English 120). I guess I'm intermingling auditory learning and tactile learning tomorrow? COOL BEANS.

I think Step #2 for the Feedback Bootcamp will be conducted at the beginning of next week for English 110, but for English 120, we might delay Step #2 until our first Peer Workshop session for Large Project 1?

Three Ungrading Nuggets.

Ungrading Nugget #1.  #Ungrading, for me, is a theory. The practice looks very different for each teacher, whether they are teaching k-12 or at a university. {The practice is a privilege for some, as I acknowledge that as a full-timer, I'm allotted more freedom than a part-time teacher.} The practice looks very different depending on discipline, too. So, two English teachers at the same community college might be using the ungrading theory, but their ways of "assessment" vary from: their use or non-use of reflections and what those look like (questions asked) and when they are assigned (beginning, middle, end or something in between) their use or non-use of grading conferences and what those look like (the prep for students) and when they are conducted (midterm, both midterm and at the end, or just the end) their use or non-use of self-assessments and what those look like (declaration quizzes* in the LMS or rubrics or reflections attached to projects) and when they are as...

Intentionally Equitable Hospitality - IEH

I signed up for a three-part webinar series, pre-Spring semester, on the topic of Intentionally Equitable Hospitality .* Here are my random thoughts and connections, via a list that some might understand and some might not. Power in the Room: Such a variety I've witnessed... Campus meetings Book clubs and Sorority groups I've been a part of Conferences, virtual and in-person The classroom Courses I've taken = Creative Commons Certification for Educators Who has designed these spaces? Who do they serve? Who benefits? Thinking on the idea of generous authority* "Facilitator is equalizing, protecting, and hoping to connect to their guests." Have I ever experienced this? Yes. With the ungrading community online, the OER community, my book club, the CC course, and hopefully in my own classroom at times... What can the inequitable spaces I've been in learn from the equitable ones? Soft starts. How is everyone? What is the pulse of the room? "Authority figure...
