Assessing student learning is crucial in giving students the opportunity to show what they know, adapt to feedback, and report on their learning. Myron Dueck walks us through how we can use assessment strategies to empower and engage.

At the heart of student agency is engaging students directly in their learning in ways that provide them choice points, skill in navigating formative learning cycles, and increasing levels of expertise to assess, as Royce Sadler famously coined, “Where Am I Now?,” “Where Am I Going?”, and “How Will I Get There?”  This session examines elements of student ‘voice and choice' as critical enabling elements needed to build in students that kind of self-efficacy that will help them thrive and meet their full potential as learners. The conversation centers on practices and routines that are applicable to a number of scenarios and classroom contexts.  Our guests are Myron Dueck, author of Giving Students a Say  and Grading Smarter, Not Harder; and Brooke Mabry, Strategic Content Design Manager at NWEA.

To successfully create the conditions where grading for learning practices may thrive, consider first the importance of ensuring student-centered assessment processes. Hear from experts on how the practices of formative assessment are crucial to cultivating a growth-mindset in a safe, respectful classroom environment. By engaging students as co-pilots in the assessment and feedback cycle rather than passengers, we empower learners and learning, which positively impacts student motivation, well-being, self-efficacy, and achievement. 

Don’t we all just want students who WANT to learn what you’re teaching? How nice would it be if every student was not only engaged in the learning, but empowered to go above and beyond the expectations. Myron Dueck might not have all the answers, but he’s got a number of strategies to help you get closer. In this episode we dive into Myron’s new book about how we should rethink assessments in order to give our students a voice in the classroom. We cover topics like the importance of feedback, why failure IS an option, what we can learn from the origins of the word assessment, and how everything he’s learned began with a Portland Trailblazers game. Tune in!

My guest today is Myron Dueck, author of the bestselling book Grading Smarter, Not Harder: Assessment Strategies That Motivate Kids and Help them Learn.  Myron has been an educator in Canada and New Zealand for 22 years and is currently a vice principal at a high school in British Columbia.  He has been published in Educational Leadership magazine and has a three-part streaming series at ascd.org called Ask Them.  Myron expects his second book, Giving Students a Say: Smarter Assessment Practices to Empower and Engage, to be released in early 2021.  He also coaches volleyball. In our conversation, Myron discusses not only the flaws of the traditional, percentage-based grading system, but offers practical solutions to what an alternative could be in rethinking assessment practices.  He gives his thoughts on why grading homework and using zeros in the traditional sense as an incentive to motivate students to complete work does not often produce the desired outcomes.  Myron also talks about how we need to shift the narrative our students often walk around with by intentionally involving them in the assessment process as frequently as possible.

About Myron Dueck Over the past 22 years, Myron has gained teaching and administrative experience in both Canada and New Zealand in subjects ranging from grades 4 to 12.  Beginning in 2006, Myron developed a number of grading, assessment and reporting systems with his classes in which students have greater opportunity to show what they understand, adapt to the feedback they receive and play a significant role in the reporting of that learning.  Myron has been a part of administrative teams, district groups, school committees and governmental bodies that have further broadened his access to innovative ideas.  Myron has shared his stories, tools and first-hand experiences with public, charter and international school educators around the world, and recently his presentations have diverged to include global education trends and broader socio-economic realities that impact learning. Myron has twice been published in EL Magazine.
