Remote site - picture was blurry and sound tough to hear. Not sure how learners are to move from one level to next - what is teacher's role in this process? Maybe I was not hearing when Jill discussed this. I loved that this session involved hands on practice. It was great to prototype and that I was forced to do it and not just talk about it. It was also challenging. It was interesting to think about providing students with a way to think about their own learning. Practicing the application here on site with other's samples was helpful. I think this experience was informative. I would have liked to see more examples of how this can be used in a foreign language classroom. It is always good to think of ways to clear and to be positive. This is a good package deal. It is eye-opening to realize how much we assume and to force ourselves to articulate the steps to get to our goals. I think the content of the sessions was very useful; however, the technology was a barrier for a number of participants. I think a more comprehensive program might help reduce user error, such as a webinar or WebEx. This was informative. I needed more information on Leveling Up before being involved today. Once I saw the examples then it made more sense and felt like I could participate with my group. I strongly agree because the Level Up scaffold it is applicable for any content at any level. Also, it helps student and teacher metacognition throughout the learning processes. I liked that we were working through our own learning progressions. The learning was personalized and helped me as an individual, but through the feedback I was able to help others, as well. It is a type of formative assessment that I was not familiar with. While I was not comfortable myself with creating a progression, I did get some ideas out of the sessions and some things I want to follow up with. It helped me keep perspective as a teacher about the bigger picture of education. 1. I had not sent a picture to Flickr before. 2. I had not got into Wi-Fi before on the iPad.

3. I like the "I can" statements for giving feedback to students. 4. i appreciated connecting with other teachers in the room to know what they are doing. 5. I thought the story about playing basketball was effective in helping us see that kids may not be getting what we are teaching. 6. The people around the room from Parish were very helpful when I had technical questions. Unfortunately hearing the online presentation was difficult, and we could not see what the presenter was talking about on the screen online. Agree Agree Strongly Agree Agree Agree Agree Strongly Agree The workshop was beneficial despite its drawbacks. It gave me a chance to see the use of technology in a new and different way. It helped me to be more aware of the incremental learning process that needs to be broken down into measurable language. The concept is simple enough to remember and powerful enough to want to apply right away. demonstrated well how to effectively assess all learners in a self-reflective way The process of helping teachers help students identify what they have mastered and how they can actually apply material is an important endeavor. I can see immediate applications of this technique, especially for difficult concepts.

2a. The content of this session can be applied to my work. 2b. Why or why not? Strongly Agree Agree Strongly Agree Agree Agree Agree Strongly Agree

I'm going to go back and start writing these types of assessments immediately. Yes, although we agreed that it seemed more useful for big learning than little lessons. Time consuming if it was done on EVERY topic, but for the more complex, or concepts with levels of understanding/application it is perfect!! I could certainly use this to teach Spanish. I have many classes that require differentiation. I want to motivate and to explain and to meet the needs of all students. I recognize that they can be very different.

It's always great to find new ways to model scaffolding for teachers. It will take me some time to apply this to my teaching in my first grade class. Through the interactive exercise of leveling my own class content, I was able to have first-hand experience in how easy and effective organizing learning levels can be. I am very excited to see how I can incorporate this into my current classroom. Absolutely! It offered me an opportunity to create a leveled and more standard based understanding of how to empower my students through formative assessment and feedback.

Half of my class is composed of ELL students and the PD gave me a more organized way of approaching their learning.

The concept of levels is applicable to my work in early childhood. However, the conversations by the presenters were focused at middle and upper school. What made the use of my time more worthwhile is I was in a group of educators that (mostly) worked with younger children. As a former math teacher, I can see the application of making my own quick and easy rubric. I'm constantly wrestling with grading/assessing/feedback. This gives me something new to try. Also, I'm facilitating a formative assessment session for my district next week, so I can share this idea with others. will fit well into the flipped-classroom learning that I am already utilizing I use these steps in my practice, but have not formally outlined a process by which students can identify their levels of comprehension in all cases. This a simple idea which can be applied in many instances. I will be able to teach students how to learn what I am teaching!

I like.... Having a new way to think about student directed learning and the value of formative assessment. The way you explained it. In particular, the example of Jill trying to defend the shooter on the basketball court helped me make sense out of what we were expected to do. I like the idea of this collaborative process -- we were over at Renbrook School in West Hartford. Mainly the idea was to attend the Martin Connects conference. The chance to get together with peers from other schools and practice real class applications The process. I really think this is a beautiful and necessary concept. It is making me think and rethink. Thank you. how the session was very focused on a specific skill and allowed for a lot of practice time. It was really neat to be part of this pioneer effort to offer prof dev across the nation. that leveling clarifies the learning experience for both the student and the teacher. How I was actively involved in improving my teaching practice. You very intentionally keep the presentation time to a minimum and maximized our work time. That the content was practical and the passion of the presenters Understanding leveled progression.

to see the use of technology in new ways. learning new terminology and the potential of how technology can enhance learning the simplicity of the idea. AND I love this structure for feedback. I've been working with my students on how to give feedback. I interestingly, over the last two years, I've come to something similar, but without the sentence starters. They will make a huge difference! the idea sharing of ideas via Google Docs, Flicker among all participants the simplification of the process.

I wish... I had direct access to presenters. I could have 1:1 tutoring and help. :) I wish the sound had been better and more explicit instructions about tasks had been provided. We were surmising what we were supposed to be doing A LOT. the sound had worked better, but thats the nature of technology!! We had more examples on how I can assess my student's work. I wish it had been face-to-face and not broadcast. the technology had been more user friendly. I had some more background information and know will research on my own. we could figure out a way to use this to help evaluate design thinking projects in our curriculum. I had more time and lived closer to Atlanta so I could have more opportunities to connect with the wonderful learning environments being created down there. I had some background information before the session The picture on the screen were clearer. I would like workshops that are more focused on early childhood education. It all starts at the beginning, and all too often prof dev sessions are not. I had access to the link prior to this conference to help me have a experiential conceptual background to draw from. I could convince more of my colleagues to think like this. we could dive into this topic a bit deeper - how it applies to different disciplines and grade levels & how to effectively incorporate this techniques into daily lesson planning their were more time to discuss actual tasks students could complete to help them identify their levels of understanding. There had been a live presenter.

I want to know more about... Teacher's role/student's role in moving from one level to the next. How teachers are working together to make these types of formative assessments and levels available to students. measuring depth of understanding Concrete examples for Spanish. I want to know what materials exist in this format and whether I could be part of a team to create English materials in this format. how to support this work going forward and find other ways to connect educators around the country to learn about these new topics. Leveling Up examples for first grade. how teachers use this in 4th grade, what it looks like in action, and how to effectively tie this to inform existing assessments. Standards based grading and its interaction/intersection with design concepts ways that I could help develop topics of interest that are for younger students.

I would love to be able to apply this to the early childhood education experience. Folks that are using this in subjects other than math! self-assessment for students and how teacher in middle schools are using these tools to promote student-directed learning. How to keep students on task at all times during online teaching.
