Communicate:
Articulating the skills and LT's, Practicing the skills and LT's are great but with out communicating the progress on the skills and LT's it is difficult for students to know how they are progressing and ultimately parent will want to know what is their students "grade." The beauty of this new way of teaching is that we can now report accurately on so much more than a grade. With the articulation piece is done...we can report to students and parents on the specific skills and LT's for each unit and be able to specifically point out what skills or aspects of a skill a student need further practice with.
For evidence I have the rubrics with which I assessed and gave student feedback on formative assessments and the summative assessments. Recording this (in a decidedly un-technological way of an old school gradebook...) information into a spreadsheet set up with columns for formatives, summatives, # of late assignments, # of missing assignments, and a separate Habits of Learning. Using Mail Merge I was able to send a blanket statement on the unit targets and skills, along with grades of individual assessments and final unit grade, along with # of late & missing assignments and a separate HAbits grade.
