    Ep 014 - You Can't Not NOT Communicate

    This week’s show is an excerpt from a conversation between Jesse Stommel and HDSB Educators on ungrading. In this section of the conversation, teachers and Jesse were discussing the many ways that teachers communicate with their students and in the absence of grades, how students seek to fill the void with any information they can glean from their interactions with their teacher.

    Ep013 - Ready, Set, SHIFT!

    Do you have an idea that you have wanted to try, but you need the time and support? Well, we have an opportunity for you and a team to try something incredible and innovative in your school: Ready, Set, SHIFT Innovation Grants! The big framing question for this grant is: How might we use innovative approaches to improve the student learning of transferable skills (global competencies)? We hope that this gives some like-minded teams the time and support to work together on something they are passionate about and get their mojo back! Check out https://hdsb-theshift.com/13 for more details, including how to apply.

    Ep012- We need more "Yes, And..."

    This week, we are talking about Yes, And! There have been a lot of NO’s or YEAH, BUT’s over the past couple of years, so we wanted to talk about a slight SHIFT in the language that we use to open ourselves up to new ideas and possibilities. In other words, we need more YES, AND in our lives, both personally and professionally, as we slowly emerge from COVID restrictions. So where does Yes, And come from? It’s actually taken from improv techniques and also used in Link Crew. The basic premise is to continue to move the story forward, providing total support for all of your team members and valuing all of the voices at the table. By using AND instead of BUT, you are signifying a willingness to problem solve and/or grow and add to ideas versus shutting down the conversation. We invite you to give it a try! Next time you find yourself saying YEAH, BUT why not try on YES, AND instead?

    Ep011 - Must Do, Should Do, Aspire to Do

    This week, we are discussing the idea of using lesson classifications from the Modern Classrooms Project (MCP) in real life. In the self-pacing structures module of the MCP free course, lessons are classified as either Must Do, Should Do, or Aspire To Do. Here on the SHIFT, we’ve noticed that these classifications are infiltrating our life in everything that we do. We are finding that we are using these classifications in our email inboxes, for our to do lists, and even for reimagining adult learning models. It’s a great way to create focus on the tasks that are most important and find those places where you can give yourself a break. Give it a try!

    Ep008 - Towards Ungrading: The Single Point Rubric

    We’re back! Welcome to our first episode of the 2021-2022 school year. AND… we’re so excited to be joined by a new member of our team this year, Rebecca MacRae. We’re trying out a different format for the podcast this year so we’d love your feedback. We are embracing the mentality of “Try-Fail-Learn” as we podcast and publish our raw, unedited conversations. It’s been a busy start to the year so we are “going for done, not perfect”! This week, we are discussing the idea of ungrading and getting started with the single point rubric. Ungrading is about “raising a critical eyebrow” at our current systems and practices around grading. We’re hosting the amazing Jesse Stommel on Thursday November 4th at 7pm to start the ungrading conversation in our board. We also talk about what a single point rubric is, why you might use one in your classroom, and how to get started.
