Poolside Chat - "Will This Be Graded? A Shift From Compliance-Driven Reporting to Reflective Continuous Improvement Through Self-Assessments of MTSS Practices" Teachers frequently encounter a question from students when assigning tasks, projects, or assignments: "Will this be graded?" But why do students ask this question? Would their approach or performance change if a grade were involved? A focus on scores and compliance can divert our attention from the true objective: continuous improvement. As countless schools nationwide engage in self-assessment of their Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) practices, the fear of feeling graded or haste to just get the assignment done can overshadow our sound judgment; it may also hinder leaders from embracing growth and continuous improvement opportunities. So how do we recognize and address these challenges to foster a culture of ongoing development in our educational institutions? Join Dr. Jose Castillo and Brittany Shurley as they dispel the fear of the score from the MTSS self-assessment and discuss the benefits of data-driven reflection on school-wide systems. |
