When we make learning a competition, what are we teaching students about learning? Don't we want all our students to learn/master the outcomes. Retakes send a message & opportunity that learning is ongoing and that mastery is accessible to all. #sd61learn @joboaler #iteachmath

A true but seemingly controversial statement from our recent article on Standards-Based Grading.

1/7 As the years go by, fewer educators hear about one of the most important research findings of the 20th century, known as the Eight-Year Study. Back in the '30s, 30 high schools around the U.S. turned traditional practice on its head, especially for college-bound students...

Good Morning Whistler, I am over the moon to be sharing this morning about elevating classrooms to communities. I don't want kids to come to my math class, I want them to belong to it! #BCAMTbelong ,#maths, #iteachmath, #sd61learn, #classroom2community, #community

The goal of assessment is not to rank students or determine who is best, but rather to help ALL students improve and do their best. #sd61learn, #math, #iteachcalculus, #bcamt, #iteachmath #standardsbasedgrading, #assessment

We love @desmos. Hey desmos, any chance you can add a feature to darken minor grid lines. When I create a paper task with a desmos graph, it is sometimes hard for students to see the lines. Maybe you have already created this feature and I don't know about it. Thank you

In addition we mistakenly give the impression that math is all about the right answer the first time. #sd61learn

when we ask a question and take an answer from the first person who raises their hand... we mistakenly give the impression that it is about speed. @joboaler #youcubed https://t.co/vaToiS7RsB

Such an important reminder. School is more about having kids think like mathematicians and less like calculators. #mathchat #edchat

In 1912 we knew that grading practices were UNRELIABLE! So why do they persist over 100 years later! @tguskey https://t.co/jk0qdHCRvr https://t.co/4bqFex1hQM #grading
