13. Grammar and vocabulary reflection Speaking in English Doing homework and exercises and correcting them Small ICT tasks Critical thinking A maximum of 25 per term How?: Speaking or understanding English, reflecting on their own learning, correcting homework, helping others Positive approach : No negatives are ever suggested or given. NEVER Minimizing error : Often (but not always) gold stars are given for participating, irrespective of whether the contribution is right or wrong Motivate shy or weak pupils: Pupils who do not participate often are asked first. Pupils who already have gold stars are only asked if no one else raises his or her hand Do not promote competitiveness: The great majority of pupils have enough opportunities to get them; so, helping peers has a sense (and might improve their behaviour score)

Tiene que saber: mínimos del currículum Puede saber: su nivel y su capacidad Quiere saber: su voluntad y su actitud
making sense of education! If that is achieved, then we have effort, good disposition….
Tiene que saber: mínimos del currículum Puede saber: su nivel y su capacidad Quiere saber: su voluntad
According to purpose, assessment can be sumative or formative Summative is final, and is related to giving a mark Formative is related to proces s, to the teacher understanding what are his pupils’ needs and to the pupils understanding where are they in their learning process and thus gain autonomy as learners and improve metacognitive skills by following a model such as this one I think one can come closer to a class where Improve and produce knowledge Foster relevant joint participation of teachers and students create culturally familiar and comfortable environments Support and create new repertoires adapt to multiple intelligences and diverse forms of participation Favor simultaneous activities Encourage independent, self-regulated learning Promote Educated speech Use external resources for the construction of meaning
The fluwiki allows me to maximize the number of tasks and the complexity and choice of what I offer to pupils Cristobal Cobo say that new technologies uesd at home are more effective than in the school - No bell rings - Pupils can take their time to look at what others have done
Multicultural awareness and grammar and vocabulary application should, in fact be here too and thus complete the list of evaluation criteria contemplated by LOE. DECRET 143/2007, de 26 de juny, pel qual s'estableix l'ordenació dels ensenyaments de l'educació secundaria obligatòria. (Correcció d'errada en el DOGC núm. 5515, pàg. 89641, de 27.11.2009).. (Pàg. 21870)
Ejemplo de tarea final eTwinning. Los alumnos hicieron mapas mentales sobre sus rutinas, los expusieron en clase, hicieron videos optativos y crearon acrósticos sobre sí mismos. El segundo trimestre los compararan con nuestros socios, harán preguntas en el foro y finalmente crearán un ppt sobre las rutinas de nuestros socios polacos y turcos que compartiremos en el blog. Este PowerPoint tendrá nota de exámen.
If pupils are afraid of error, formative evaluation is impossible
MAKING EVALUATION CRITERIA TRANSPAREN TO THEM GOLDSTARS ARE IN LINE WITH WHAT WE DO IN CLASS
Los indicadores que uso no son necesariamente los mismos, lo que necesito es tener una nota como mínimo de cada dimensión competencial
It is not me who causes changes or wants to change, it is the learners!
Yo intento que se les ocurran a ellos, pero no me acaba de funcionar. No listening this term, but When I realise that I have no listening gold stars, I begin to wonder how I can integrate listening… and then something turns up (Listening does not worry me much as far as gold stars are concerned because….) Lo que sí consigo es entusiasmo frente a las propuestas, porque saben hacer lo que les pido Procuro que trabajen en parejas o tríos. Nadie había hecho nada con referencia a vídeos o presentaciones, y ofrecí un examen opcional
This small self assessment is causing me some headaches
I did not consider listening…
Choose the easy or the difficult option S trategic use of integrated skills
I have to asses listening in a more systematic way It does not matter if writing is not there, they have the easy reader exam
