#Satchat is a weekly Twitter conversation for current and emerging school leaders that takes place every Saturday morning at 7:30 EST. Co-founders and co-moderators are Brad Currie, Scott Rocco, and Billy Krakower. #Satchat's mission is to expand educator's Personal Learning Network (PLNs) that in turn will promote the success of all students.
Yet there are clear patterns, some arrive later because of individual differences. There are clearly groups that our schools in our present structure, are not working, and have not been working for years - were must find a way to change this. #satchat
We ignore the problem of many of our most vulnerable students if we only talk about the "Achievement Gap". We must also recognize and address the "Excellence Gap" as defined by @JonathanPlucker#satchat
The best school leaders understand if they want to build a climate of academic risk taking in their students, they must allow teachers to take risks. | #satchat#edchat
Yet that does not change the fact that schools do not work for many people. I am no friend of stand. tests but I believe it is a moral imperative that we as educators can make schools work better for ALL kids. #satchat
BAMMM. Lets do what works best and lets find clear evidence of learning at the instructional level to be sure kids learn. Its about responding to formative assessment, not standardized assessment #satchat
Our standardized test work OK for systems test - not individual student achievement. Only formative assessment and how we respond to it, can give us the evidence of learning, or lack of, to close gaps. #satchat
