3 15 REFLECTING ON STUDENT ENGAGEMENT Purpose The following ten checklists are useful for staff and school leaders to reflect on the characteristics necessary for high levels of student engagement. These checklists cover many areas of school culture and teacher practice. Reflecting on the checklists will be useful in conversations on how to improve student engagement and in identifying areas of strength and areas in need of improvement. Procedure The checklists may be used individually to review one aspect of engagement, or they may be used as a group to complete a more comprehensive reflection on school culture and student engagement. The lists are designed for teacher leader teams to reflect on school characteristics. They are best used by a group. The group should read each items and reach consensus as to the rating. After reviewing the entire list, the group can then focus on those characteristics that are lowest rated and begin conversations on how school improvement practices can address each characteristic. The checklists should be reviewed periodically to measure progress. Relationships Checklist Definitely Partially No 1. The teachers exhibit behaviors that indicate care and concern about students. 2. The teachers call students by name. 3. The teachers are familiar with the school community and surrounding neighborhood. 4. The teachers take an interest in students education plans and future goals.

The teachers talk with parents regularly, including providing positive feedback on student work. 7. The teachers are willing to provide extra help. 8. The teachers treat students with respect. 9. The teachers pay attention to all students, not just to the top students. 10. The teachers make students feel that they belong (are accepted and liked) at school. 11. The teachers talk with his or her students in settings outside of class. 12. Students feel comfortable enough to ask their teachers questions. 13. The teachers trust students. 14. Students work well in groups. 15. Students treat other students with respect. 16. The teachers expect students to do their best at all times. 17. Students feel supported by their teachers. 18.

8 20 Creating a Grading Scheme for High Rigor/High Relevance Part 1. Read the following grading practices. Check five of the following that you believe should be used as part of a grading scheme to move toward high rigor/high relevance instruction. Have a minimum grade, such as 50 Drop the lowest quiz grade for a marking period Allow students to raise grades by retesting Give bonus points for difficult questions Quadrant D projects should be at least 50% of grade Include a grade for a performance task each grading period Give grades for good behavior Use contracts for requirements for students to earn an A grade. Use incomplete or I for student work that does not meet minimum expectations Place at least one Quadrant B or C test question on every test Grade daily work habits Base a student grade on the highest and best work, rather than an average of all work Count all grades equally Require all students to pass Quadrant A work before allowing them to do Quadrant D work Give students optional ways to show proficiency Give separate grades for knowledge (quizzes) and performance (projects) Have students contract for the grades they which receive Grade on a curve with average performance a grade of C or B Use narrative feedback rather than letter or numerical grades Grade routine homework Use a four point scale (1=below proficiency, 2=approaching proficiency, 3=proficient and 4= exceeds proficiency Give extra points for Quadrant B,C or D work Have students grade each others work Part 2. Discuss with your group the grading practices above and agree on which grading practices should be used to create a grading scheme consistent with raising student learning to high rigor/high relevance International Center for Leadership in Education
9 21 Rigor and Relevance Influence Grades State Standards Building Blocks for Success A,B,C,I,F KNOWLEDGE A, B, C, I, F I Contracts Honors Contract Proficiency vs. Seat Time A,B,C,I,F Homework Tutorials Atlantic Community High School Delray Beach FL Values Defining A - B - C - I - F A - B - C - I - F only applies to the grades assigned to student performance at the end of a nine weeks marking period. Students earning 70% % or less than 60% will receive the grade earned as reflected in the Palm Beach County Grading Scale. What is an I? Grade assigned to students at the end of the nine weeks marking period if their cumulative average falls between 60-69%. Students are given task(s) to demonstrate their understanding of the skills taught within the marking period. If the student demonstrates proficiency of the skills taught through the task(s), then the student earns an appropriate grade as determined by the teacher ( A - B - C). Practices that inhibit learning Grading first efforts Inconsistent grading scales Inconsistent grading criteria Zero grades without further makeup opportunities Preconceptions about student abilities Grade based on behavior, attendance and effort Using grades for rewards or punishment Seat time vs. proficiency Dr. Robert Lynn Canady Good Grading Practices Grades should be based on individual proficiency not group work Use separate systems for grading behavior Use incomplete rather than zeros Use systems that reflect the highest level of learning Move toward more performance assessments Use a proficiency scale rather than percentages
