DrMaryHoward - Moderator Nov 10 @ 8:45 PM EST

A2 KNOW THE CHILD! When we know kids, we see #s in a new light. If not, we lose the child by trusting a flawed system. #G2Great

Complete the assessment required (make it meaningful) but make sure I use the assessments that truly inform my teaching #g2great

#G2Great #A2 Numerical data can not be the only form of data. We need many types of assessments including self-assessment to evaluate.

CarrieGelson Nov 10 @ 8:51 PM EST

A2 We have to be confident in our observations especially when “data” doesn’t ring true of that we know about child #G2Great

TheSammer88 Nov 10 @ 8:51 PM EST

A2 Use numerical data as backup for your knowledge of the Ss, not the other way around #G2Great

LeaderandReader Nov 10 @ 8:51 PM EST

A2: Observations, conferring notes, student products, etc. can help us see the bigger picture. Allow pieces together help inform us #G2Great

DrGLK Nov 10 @ 8:51 PM EST

A2-use triangular data- Ss need to be seen as whole people in multiple contexts. Norm reference tests tend to mark kids for life. #G2Great

DrLMaucione Nov 10 @ 8:51 PM EST

We can look beyond assessment numbers to understand the Ss reading and writing behaviors. This gives a more complete picture. #G2great

A6 Lack of engagement just creates negative energy between Ts and Ss. Ts lose class control and Ss lose trust in the teacher #G2Great

Be mindful of the moment that I am in with Ss. As a T so often planning ahead but being present is so important. Yes to be present #g2great

DrMaryHoward - Moderator Nov 10 @ 9:22 PM EST

Love that Amy. Otherwise, it’s one big guessing game and the outcome is pretty grim. #G2Great

A6: Assessment and instruction are connected, we need to know where our learners are if expect to advance their learning #G2great

That’s the makings of DOUBLE LEARNING - once when we make the mistake and again when we meander our way back along a new path #G2great

#G2Great A7 I am in a different role than many of you, but I will ask my students "Are you getting what you need?"

Allowing Ss to teach forces them to focus on the curriculum in a new way. No better way to learn than to teach! #G2Great

A7 Elevate the role of self-evaluation (Hattie). It’s amazing what we learn when we make kids part of the process. #G2Great

And learning time lost is gone forever! You’re right Sam, engagement is HUGE! #G2Great
