The team was using anecdotal records for their data collection. The issue was that it was kind of a black box -immediately I wondered how I would know if the strategies I was using with students in my care were helping them reach their goals.</p><p>Last year, I helped the team reimagine some ways to collect data on student behavior through the use of rubrics, checklists, and goal trackers. We also had teachers write anecdotal notes about students while observing their behavior.</p><p>This year, the school created a new position, inclusion support coordinator. The first thing she did when she came in was to ask how we could collect data from teachers more easily. I was elated to hear this and suggested we use a Google Form that could be easily bookmarked to the browser, so that's what we did. She pushed teachers to use it when they suspected academic or behavioral issues with students. We also did away with the former ways of collecting data to try to save teachers' time.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBzbSoKXr1WuNGd8o61b4WyT3DukmORO4TtPbcCuNk8FhvtV4qbAecepu_MGbgH7mpGzPn5QxzjlZQELfYoDryWUCz0ZPXKQI6jbYgjR1swO18w0zqrGgxlpJSAW0aVNkdSiFQFxreKlf1TUHw2pSnApBH4U8YMe1QBsjW1_0sT4mFT8_RZx_xedsuICM/s2768/Screenshot%202024-02-03%20at%2020.48.08.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1510" data-original-width="2768" height="350" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBzbSoKXr1WuNGd8o61b4WyT3DukmORO4TtPbcCuNk8FhvtV4qbAecepu_MGbgH7mpGzPn5QxzjlZQELfYoDryWUCz0ZPXKQI6jbYgjR1swO18w0zqrGgxlpJSAW0aVNkdSiFQFxreKlf1TUHw2pSnApBH4U8YMe1QBsjW1_0sT4mFT8_RZx_xedsuICM/w640-h350/Screenshot%202024-02-03%20at%2020.48.08.png" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="color: #999999;">The form responses before visualization.</span></i></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p>With the data collected from the Form, we started by filtering the responses into the different programs; PYP, MYP, and DP.

I could make this all visual. </p><p>In my head, we would see the current weeks' totals along with the top five students.

Vocabulary is especially important in the older grades when the academic language increases in complexity. This is where I see many students struggle. One of my big questions since becoming a teacher has been to figure out how to build student vocabulary.</div></div><div><br /></div><div>Especially with EAL learners, it is hard to do because for the first few years, a student is in school, up until about third grade, he or she might appear as if everything is going ok. He or she might even be ahead of other students. But in about fourth grade, students can plateau when academic vocabulary becomes more challenging. </div><div><br /></div><div>When I was in the classroom I was inconsistent with creating unit vocabulary lists.

I could have made it easier for the students to read their information, but I think that is a part of the learning. </div><div><br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6746486995176956341.post-42561054166987716802022-10-11T13:15:00.002+09:002022-10-11T13:15:08.376+09:00Black and White Thinking<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkOe9Qsy2HqFPhdRdcuNkwN0uCECDT1wRkJ0BvpyEmtH1xzgu05j4xmDD3YNKB2JNii44xtVmDL-rcLNyr6IqTJguAn0nwfbqhp9-pvTc4DtAnzZK_I-5qJunXJrhA7Vmfx8loGr9tY4sks2mu-oTrg_Ou0iKYY1mZzIwoPG2jTgLMwf_Qn4zGao92/s5900/american-heritage-chocolate-vdx5hPQhXFk-unsplash.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4564" data-original-width="5900" height="496" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkOe9Qsy2HqFPhdRdcuNkwN0uCECDT1wRkJ0BvpyEmtH1xzgu05j4xmDD3YNKB2JNii44xtVmDL-rcLNyr6IqTJguAn0nwfbqhp9-pvTc4DtAnzZK_I-5qJunXJrhA7Vmfx8loGr9tY4sks2mu-oTrg_Ou0iKYY1mZzIwoPG2jTgLMwf_Qn4zGao92/w640-h496/american-heritage-chocolate-vdx5hPQhXFk-unsplash.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Photo by <a href="https://unsplash.com/@americanheritagechocolate?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText">American Heritage Chocolate</a> on <a href="https://unsplash.com/s/photos/chocolate-vanilla-cookie?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText">Unsplash</a></i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Today I was working with a student who dismissed a website because of "bad grammar".

It was decided we would focus on Google and Seesaw. </div><div><br /></div><div>When I got my Seesaw Ambassador certification way back in 2017, it was just a series of videos that one had to watch. Now Seesaw has a few different options for certifications beginning with the Seesaw Pioneer. After that, with time and watching different PD webinars, it is possible to be invited to become an ambassador. From there, you can then become a Seesaw Certified Educator.</div><div><br /></div><div>So back to my plan, teachers would get the Pioneer certification. We would then move on to putting teachers on the path to becoming a Google Certified Educator Level 1.
