Rating student work
Stepping Stone Explained:
In this stepping stone, I will learn how to rate evidence students submit. I will learn how to enter ratings in Slate from their evidence.
Because our system is moving away from subjective grading, I need to know how to rate student work. It is different from the traditional system. Because we measure growth across time, I MUST enter ratings using the "slidy bars" into Slate. If I do not, the evidence piece stays hidden and does not enter the portfolio. We want students to keep collecting evidence pieces.
To Do:
Read and watch all about ratings below
Actually rate the student work using the continua
Complete the Digital Learning Journal entries for "4. Rating Student Work"
1️⃣ How do we know a student's work is ready for rating?
Students will submit tasks on Slate.
If a task is green, no submissions happened. If it is green with diagonal lines (see below) the student submitted the task and is waiting for feedback. The legend below can help you see what is happening with each student and each task.
2️⃣ How do I actually rate student work?
My turn:
Cole is my student and has asked me to rate him on the continua. He is working on Introducing Presentations (Next Gen 2.1)
I gave Cole a 9... do you agree with me? Why or why not? Those are the conversations worth having in PLCs.
Your turn:
Rate Cole on his ability to write a lab report using the continua below. Put the ratings into your Digital Learning Journal.
3️⃣ How do I report out those ratings and where do they go?
When you have the ratings from the student work, you will put them into Slate using the 'Slidy Bars'. That is why it is so important to know where the skills are assessed and put those slidy bars with those tasks (see creating tasks here).
These ratings (scores M-12) go to that student's Competency Dashboard. This is how those portfolios fill up and students finish their portfolio and it is flipped to the next color.
