MikeDOstilio Jul 24 @ 7:37 PM EDT

Sorry "well" not "will" #formativechat. So much for my English degree

MikeDOstilio Jul 24 @ 7:36 PM EDT

A2: Leaders need 2 have clear instructional strategies as part of sch culture, model those & provide feedback often. #formativechat

BrianDunleavy16 Jul 24 @ 7:45 PM EDT

A2: No more walk through sheets! How about a Formative so Ts can get instant feedback just like we do for our Ss #formativechat

MikeDOstilio Jul 24 @ 7:52 PM EDT

That's why hallway conversations and short walkthrus help. @ssseason7 #formativechat Some view it as "get it done" rather than feedback
