@EdHistory101 @StephenKellett7 @AlexSVenet I once had a HS English teacher give me a C on an essay about what the green light represented in The Great Gatsby because, as she wrote directly on my essay, she disagreed with my opinion!

A5: Simple: challenge the status quo! Create rubrics that challenge androcentrism, heteronormativity, cisnormativity, the model of white supremacy; reward Ss for thinking creatively & outside the box; allow them to use their native dialects in papers! (ie AAVE) #osussmce #sschat

*quo, not who!

A4: Grades uphold the current status who regarding curricula, and currently, white supremacy, maleness, heterosexuality, and cisnormativeness is the status quo #osussmce #sschat

[Jessica Deitering @JMDeitering]

A3: Grades make up the majority of the “Grammar of School!” So much centers around the importance of grades #osussmce #sschat

[Jessica Deitering @JMDeitering]

A2: These models are hurtful because students become so obsessed with the letter grade they neglect the real purpose of education: to learn #osussmce #sschat

[Jessica Deitering @JMDeitering]

This is a really interesting perspective! I’d never thought of this as a possibility. Wonder if there’s any truth to it!

[Jon Resendez @mrjuanresendez]

A1: I wonder if grading is a relic of a past America where the primary concern of school was to weed out the weak instead of empowering all learners? #sschat

[Jessica Deitering @JMDeitering]

A1: I’m interested in learning about the history of the 100 point scale! Why was that made the standard? #osussmce #sschat

Q0: My name is Jessica, she/her, currently a preservice teacher at the Ohio State University in Columbus, OH. #osussmce #sschat

A7: My previous answer works here, too! Dueling Documents is by far my fave. I created a lesson where students analyzed 2 political cartoons offering opposing POVs, then discussed, then whole class did Take a Stand to explain their thinking #sschat

[Jessica Deitering @JMDeitering]

A6: My Ss communicate their synthesis either thru whole class discussion or by collaborating to create a presentation with Google Slides #osussmce #sschat

[Jessica Deitering @JMDeitering]

@flipping_A_tchr Ha! It’s a strategy. This link does a good job of explaining how it works! https://t.co/vld6Gm66mu

[Jessica Deitering @JMDeitering]

A5: I LOVE using Dueling Documents for this! Each document has an opposing POV. Ss analyze and critique, then discuss. Great way to get them to consider different viewpoints and develop all kinds of literacy skills #osussmce #sschat

[Jessica Deitering @JMDeitering]

A4: lots of modeling! Also important to provide a good framework for students to follow as they work thru their inquiry. Proper guidance allows students to explore w/o feeling utterly lost #osussmce #sschat

[Jessica Deitering @JMDeitering]

A3: by participating in IBL, students inherently develop literacy skills. They practice using them, thus further develop them. #osussmce #sschat

[Jessica Deitering @JMDeitering]

A2: lots of different literacies! Decoding, context clues, and of course media literacy! #osussmce #sschat

[Jessica Deitering @JMDeitering]

A1: In my classroom, student critical thinking involves a lot of brainstorming, graphic organizers, and partner work. #osussmce #sschat

[Jessica Deitering @JMDeitering]

Hi! My name is Jessica. I’m a preservice teacher at the Ohio State University. O-H! :) #osussmce #sschat

A5: Test drive student tech with colleagues! You’ll all get to play with ins & outs of new platforms, and may even stumble upon something that works well for collaborating with each other — & that’s always a good thing! #techncsschat #osussmce

[Jessica Deitering @JMDeitering]

A4: SCAFFOLD! The tech itself is easy enough once they get the hang of it, but it is so easy for students to get lost/confused. Provide lots of direct guidance until they’re very familiar with the platform. #techncsschat #osussmce
