We don't own
the learning
- Alan November

Why don't They
own The
Learning?


Lecture/notes
depend on focus


Lecture/notes

Ain't gonna get it


So we invented:


But these fail
Students forget most of what
they hear in lecture and then
only recall 40% of the tested
material two years later.

http://scopeblog.stanford.edu/2012/05/rethinking-the-sage-on-stage-model-in-medical-education/


Test scores for the
experimental group (non-
lecture) was nearly double
that of the control section
(41% to 74%).

They MUST own
the learning

Is this unsettling yet?

Summarizing

Teach techniques!

Use the technique: S, W, B, S, T

http://wvde.state.wv.us/strategybank/Somebody-Wanted-But-So.html

Somebody Wanted But So

The Big Bad Wolf Pigs for dinner They hid in the brick house. He went hungry.

She died in a concentration
Anne Frank To hide from the Nazis Someone turned her in
camp.

He killed himself when
Adolf Hitler To control all of Europe The Allies fought against him
Germany was defeated.

He ran into the Caribbean
Christopher Columbus To sail to India to buy spices He claimed the area for Spain.
Islands

It later led to the electron tube,
To invent the incandescent His lightbulb blackened (the
Thomas Edison the basis of the electronics
lightbulb Edison effect)
industry

He combined science and
His father wanted him to be a
Stephen Hawking To be a mathematician math to study black holes in
chemist
the universe.


C.A.S.K.
Summarizing

S, W, B, S, T leads to SKILLED paraphrasing, this eliminates copy/paste

Summarizing is a TOP 5 way to raise scores - Marzano


C.A.S.K.
Key quotes

Require a “key quote” from an article

Require them to be noted as ﬁrst or third person

Key quotes are a kind of summary

Key quotes are a State Standard

Project Based Grading
It’s a whole other animal


Milestones

It’s a PROCESS; Teach it.

Teach it step by step.


Milestones

Have a “notes” due date

Note taking / Fact gathering Segment

Provide valid research point or sites - A Custom Google Search?
Battleship Div 9

Grade notes, have them stored in Evernote


Milestones

Paraphrasing

Teach S, W, B, S, T to help prevent plagarism
(suspicious? Google a sentence)

Use Grammarly.com to self correct

Have them do a “narrative” before the ﬁnal project commences

Give the narrative a grade, have a due date


Milestones

Graphix The last phase

Require a subtitle per slide

Make sure the pics are authentic and sourced

Teach them to use things other than Google, it lowers the accuracy

Only one or two pics per slide or segment,
they will try to jam you with graphics


We have to “uncondition” the students from failure.
They have been in “the suck” for years.


Minarets HS
Grading Policies

Systematic Success
We all need to play the same game.

Updated for 2012-13


Minarets HS
Fresh Grades

For teachers:
Routine and Fresh Grades Daily
Use paper to collect them quickly
Make up work should be marked "collected" immediately
• Grade on events and milestones
Project = notes, narrative, initial completion and preso

Stale grades deny kids feedback
AND don't reward finishing


Minarets HS
No Extra Credit

Extra credit devalues being sharp and on time.
Extra credit means things can be late.
Extra credit means grade inflation.

Being on time counts!


Minarets HS
No Extra Credit

If a student misses a deadline,
there will be a negative result.

Are extra points possible?
Yes, kids can get extra points for being done EARLY ON THE
NEXT project.

Let's teach them being on time counts!

Minarets HS
Late Work

Late work needs to be late.
When we extend deadlines we don't
teach kids one of the most important lessons:
Being done ahead of time.

You can't be good at something if it's always last minute.


Minarets HS
Late Work

An assignment that misses a
deadline gets a maximum of 70%

70% IS THE MAXIMUM FOR LATE WORK
Late assignments can get a 50% or a 60%

The lessons still count, and matter, but they are late.


Minarets HS
Work-based mentality

Not everyone will get an A.

But everyone can work.

And everyone can grow.

And everyone needs to
learn to be industrious


Minarets HS

No "Write-Offs"

You Have to Do ALL the Work
Do you owe 20? Do 20

All the lessons matter.


Let’s NOT
study

Let’s OWN
the
Learning
