KellyNPipes Mar 16 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A4: Play to their talents, interests, goals. Gotta know our Ss first! #sblchat

Mrs_Krapels Mar 16 @ 9:31 PM EDT

When Ss feel they have an authentic audience & the opportunity to change things, the results are HUGE #sblchat https://t.co/ivmiT8Eb3r

A4: Consider authentic audiences. Who can stats create/produce for other than tchr? Produce solutions to a local or global issue? #sblchat

DouglasReeves Mar 16 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A4: @Garnet_hillman - respectful push-back on accepting standards as presented . There are simply too many of them. #sblchat

garnet_hillman - Moderator Mar 16 @ 9:31 PM EDT

@AceThatTest I also used the cups- it was more about feeling like they could continue w/their work/practice or if they were stuck. #sblchat

@kenoc7 Trial and error learning in this case is a tough lesson. I agree - they need help developing the skill. #sblchat

@CHS_Morris To encourage projects and creativity, we need fewer standards and assessments, each richer in content. #sblchat
