  • collsphysistry Oct 3 @ 6:04 PM EDT
    A1. Average serves a purpose, but not as a guiding principle in lesson design. Idea of average assumes the standard is correct #TEDEdChat

    A1: Yes, ban the average. Every great innovation and creative thought didn't come from "average." #TEDEdchat

  • TechCoachCisco Oct 3 @ 6:06 PM EDT
    A1 The “average” does not exist - we design instruction for no one when we teach to the average student. Banning the average allows Ts to teach to the edges where real Ss are found. #tededchat
  • texteacher Oct 3 @ 6:06 PM EDT
    A1: The biggest setback is that we evaluate every child in the US with an "Average standard" test #TEDEdChat

    Also, average is easy and implies that it doesn’t require much work for talented individuals teaching. #flyundertheradar #TEDEdChat

    A1- At NISD, I we already do strive for so much more than average. We look at all the facets of the Ss, to take them to higher. #TEDEdChat

    If we ban average a new, universal term will replace it and then folks will live up to that until someone reinvents the average #TEDEdChat

    @techcoachjones We do throw the word “average” around a lot in various ways. Makes yo think. #TEDEdChat

  • collsphysistry Oct 3 @ 6:11 PM EDT
    A1. Also, average doesn’t exist in teaching, at least in a class setting. Set up a hierarchy that just allows for bad feelings. #TEDEdChat
  • danabickley Oct 3 @ 6:12 PM EDT
    @LisaCasas ...“ban the average” when it comes to our teachers too…we need to coach them up, meet them where they are, etc. #TEDEdChat
