How Did We Get Here? 
Task Jam Day

  • Video~Tanya Baker - Director of National Programs, National Writing Project
  • The day was made possible by a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
  • LDC is a national community of educators providing a teacher-designed and research-proven framework, online tools, and resources for creating literacy-rich assignments and courses across content areas.

Today's Goal

What do we really want from students?  *


Let's Write

Think about a time, whether in the classroom or not, when you gave a task to someone and the task did not yield the result you wanted. 
  • What happened? 
  • What was purpose of the task and the desired result?
  • Reflect on why you think the result was different from what you expected to happen.

Why are you here today and what do you hope to get out of a workshop that has the title Assignments Matter?  What do you hope to take away from today?
