@BrandonLuuMD Anecdotally, I see this too. Anyone see any studies that are within the last 5 years that have similar findings? Since this study is 12 years old, we've literally turned over every student since then.

[Rick Wormeli @rickwormeli2]

The reason a lot of teachers impose a, "cost," is often to teach responsibility and to affirm those who got their act together and turned it in on time. The concern with this approach, however, is that we're saying that the cost comes in the form of falsifying the report of student learning, which is not helpful or ethical, and it definitely doesn't teach personal responsibility or time management. The research is quite clear that punitive grades and falsifying learning reports by conflating compliance or timeliness with learning does not teach build maturity the way many think it does. It would be worth looking at those other elements for teaching these virtues and work habits, such as student agency, executive function, fostering independence, self-monitoring learning progress, meaning-making, and more. For now, though, let's make the "cost" of being late sacrificing other, preferred activities for sake of needing to finish work in a timely manner, requiring student reflection on decisions made that did not yield mature results, building executive function skills, helping to remove biases and obstacles that keep students from focusing on learning, reporting on personal work habits separately from academic proficiency in content, and similar. They do a much better job of student personal growth and accountability.

Please give us in the K-12 education realm the option to change Docs defaults to NOT show this. This is not beneficial to most students.

In a recent ReThinking podcast, Adam Grant suggested ways to improve meetings. He suggested framing meeting agenda items as questions to answer rather than tasks to complete. Why not do that in the classroom too? This seems like a simple shift that can make a profound difference!

Do your students "word vomit?" Maybe tech can help!

@rickwormeli2 Yes, sir! We are working on it! ✊️These help! 😀

“…we grade against criteria for standards, outcomes, learning goals…”

Such a good reminder! When developing projects/rubrics/ formatives/summatives, begin and end here! And in doing so, achieve that agency (and engagement) we are all chasing. As always, Mr. Wormeli nails it.

[Rick Wormeli @rickwormeli2]

As you're thinking about classroom assessments next year, remember that we grade against criteria for standards, outcomes, learning goals, i.e., evidence of learning, NOT the vehicle used to deliver that evidence. So, unless we're teaching the assessment format itself, whether or not students do a project, test, paper, demonstration, etc is irrelevant: It's whether or not they presented evidence of their proficiency. This blows the hinges off the doors on the way to success as it opens new and meaningful ways to demonstrate mastery. There's a lot of agency here, which leads to students owning their learning. For some units of study, teachers can even ask students for proposals for how they will demonstrate the evidence of the standard. Then, as with most assessments, ask students to prove their evidence, to explain how the standard is manifested in their presentation. Gosh, this makes learning -- and teaching -- way more fun, and for students, more substantive.
