As you plan for this upcoming school year, please be sure to include the voice of your Ss; working with Ts and staff, I offered these 3Qs to jumpstart learning. #edchat #onted #etfoaq #learnlap #tlap #formativechat #edtechchat #buildhopeEDU #hwdsb #tdsb

I need someone, anyone to take out Bennett! Cheap shot artist! I am so sick of him!! #LeafsForever

@itsmitchmarney 😅😅

It’s equivalent to killing of Benson on #LawAndOrderSVU - you just don’t kill off Bobby like that! He’s the heart and soul of the show. Without him there is no show. I’m done! @The911onABC #911onABC

Bobby’s leadership, charisma, heart, & strength is the main reason I watched @The911onABC - not anymore!! This is the way you lose your viewers. I am done with the show. #911onABC

Bad move by @The911onABC to kill off Bobby! I don’t think I’ll be watching anymore!! You don’t kill the heart of the show and expect me to keep watching. #bye #911onABC

BQ: also need to give Ss multiple opportunities to use feedback to "update" their work - final evalution/grade should be based on various iterations. It's the process not a one time submission. #teachpos #formativechat #edchat #onted

BQ: 1. regular formative assessments!! 2. Are Ss using the descriptive feedback you gave them? How is this evident? 3. Conference w/ Ss. 4. Observations/conversations 5. documentation! #teachpos

we really need to move away from tests/quizzes; if we do administer a test, we need to focus on skills/processes. We also need to be moving away from marking a question out of a number (e.g., /4). #teachpos #formativechat #onted #teachertwitter

A3: 1. multiple opportunities 2. multiple ways to demonstrate learning 3. less focus on tests/products; include convos/observations 4. provide descriptive feedback 5. Ss set their own goals #teachpos

A2: Pros 1. simple 2. expectations known Cons 1. subjective 2. focus on in moment vs growth 3. one snapshot #teachpos

A1: there is more to learning than just the grades - what about the skills, work habits, etc? Focus needs to more on the settting goals and growth rather than a focus on a letter grade or % grade #teachpos

A1: Ss need to be involved throughout the process. The focus needs to be on growth and not learning just to pass a test. Many Ss forget what they learned b/c of this. Learning goals and written feedback are more valuable #teachpos

grades can either hurt or help Ss depending on how they are determined and used #teachpos

A2: policies & procedures can be a challenge in terms of building trust #teachpos

Woo hoo!! Yaass!! #TeamCanada #4nationsfaceoff
