    Unless Formative assessment is used to show evidence of learning, and action, for the classroom/student is taken, never get to 80% #mnlead

    In reply to @chris_bussmann
  • mrsmduke Mar 5 @ 8:11 PM EST
    Q2.2: Also, 80%? That's not high quality, that's slightly above average. High Quality should be reaching 95% and up. #mnlead #idealist

    Is this considered PLCs for your school? #mnlead
    In reply to @chris_bussmann

    A2 It starts with having student choice while teaching standards. Frequent PD.T's can talk about what's working. Look at freq data. #mnlead

    I'm going to tack on feedback to this. Formative is more effective with feedback for future use #mnlead

    A2 make sure that the curriculum is aligned vertically & horizontally & constant formative assessment #mnlead
