{"data":{"ID":310,"Class":"Conversation","Created":1382399368,"CreatorID":79,"RevisionID":null,"Status":"Accepted","Title":"Leading Learners to Level Up #LL2LU","Handle":"Leading_Learners_to_Level_Up-LL2LU","ShortDescription":"Are you a designer of assessment or a survivor? Have you ever been shocked to discover after learning episodes are complete that learners did not, in fact, learn? Do your assessments: Motivate and compel student questions, self-direction and calibration? Enable teacher-student partnership? Communicate \u201cYou can do this; I can help?\u201d","Description":"#LL2LU is about design, empathy, process, prototyping, and communication.  What is essential to be learned? What evidence do we need to demonstrate learning?  How do we communicate path(s) for success that learners can follow and riff on?\r\n\r\nThis conversation is designed to help teachers design paths for formative assessment that lead learners to level up.  Learners will be able to say \u201cI can...\u201d and \u201cCan you help me...\u201d based on the assessment -- empowering the learner to have control over a path to success. \r\n\r\nThis conversation is designed to build teacher confidence, experience, and understanding of non-graded formative assessment and feedback loops.  Strategies employed in this conversation will be experiential, hands-on, and collaborative.  At the end of this conversation, teacher-learners will be able to say\r\n--I can articulate the essential learnings for our student-learners in student friendly language.\r\n--I can describe and show what reaching the target for the essential learning looks like, calls for, and requires.\r\n--I can build a leveled assessment to provide a path for reaching the target level of the essential learning.  This leveled assessment will ask for and provide evidence of learning and opportunities for growth.\r\n--I can use the evidence collected from the leveled assessment to make course corrections for learners as needed to ensure that all learners become proficient.","Link":["http:\/\/jplgough.wordpress.com","http:\/\/www.findingthesignal.com","https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1lGSgNme8nY4-JCQZIus8X5BW5vpYN8PXPdXP-4mMczk\/edit"],"Audience":["All School Levels"],"Practice":"We will use the interview and fishbowl methods to model the #LL2LU process. We\u2019ll share our learning in real time through a digital backchannel for crowdsourced notes, questions and comments, inviting virtual participants to participate along with in-person participants. Learners will prototype a learning progression, participate in a gallery walk for a feedback loop, and iterate the progression based on feedback.  We will then work on developing an assessment for learners to provide evidence of learning.","Presenter":["Jill Gough","Shelley Paul"],"PresenterAffiliation":["Trinity School","Woodward Academy"],"PresenterEmail":["jplgough@gmail.com","shelley.paul@gmail.com"],"ScheduleSlotID":27,"ScheduleLocationID":15,"SubmitterID":79,"AdditionalComments":"Conversation design:\r\nhttps:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1lGSgNme8nY4-JCQZIus8X5BW5vpYN8PXPdXP-4mMczk\/edit\r\n\r\nFor additional information about #LL2LU in practice: http:\/\/jplgough.wordpress.com\/?s=%23LL2LU","LiveChannel":null,"Hashtag":null,"VokleID":null,"RecordingURL":null,"ConferenceID":3}}
