the principle of jaggedness: humans consist of multiple relevant dimensions & they are not highly correlated--so there is no average #atchat

A1 Some follow the "one size fits all" model for ease of educators...talent is never one-dimensional for Ts or Ss. #atchat

KarenJan - Moderator Apr 27 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1 - Our grading systems, for all aspects of education, are based on averages. Students don't fit the profile but teachers need it. #ATchat

A1 Yes, @eyeonaxs we are still adhering to the one sized fits all approach to education and if it doesn't work you are special (ed) #atchat

@eyeonaxs @possbeth #atchat Did anyone's brain want to go back to the average though? I find I use averages a lot.

nlakusta Apr 27 @ 8:11 PM EDT

This jaggedness is one of the reasons our K-9 report card has no % which I'm 😎 about #ATchat

tjoshaughnessy Apr 27 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A1 financial factors are a massive drive behind the average IM0, it's a fake believe about catering to the masses #atchat

rziolkowski Apr 27 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@mmatp #atchat I think this is core. Is this the shift away from Industrial model thinking?

is it just me or did the term "jaggedness" throw anyone else? Seems like there's a better term. #ATchat

Q3 from @rziolkowski Would you change the SETT process to be more explicit on Jaggedness? If so, how? #atchat

@KarenJan @wernedat an image like this helps you understand the use of the term jagged #atchat https://t.co/LvqmlMXP5R

Jaggedness makes me think of irregular shapes and that's my Ss, they don't fit a "standard" but what leaner truly does #atchat

KarenJan - Moderator Apr 27 @ 8:23 PM EDT

@rziolkowski Reminds me of a movie I saw in the 80s - Jagged Edge, it was a thriller. Prefer variability! #ATchat https://t.co/PqTA0WxYaq
