JamieArmin - Moderator Apr 10 @ 9:07 AM EDT

How about several open house/S, P, T conferences throughout year? Then a final grade is decided at the end of the year w/S voice? #sunchat

JamieArmin - Moderator Apr 10 @ 9:07 AM EDT

T narrative about growth w/successes & challenges accompanied by feedforward; portfolios, open houses more often, S reflections #sunchat

drangelapeery Apr 10 @ 9:07 AM EDT

@ElisaW5 As I recall, had my students share 2 strengths/achievements and 1 area to work on.Some said what grade they deserved. #sunchat

markbarnes19 Apr 10 @ 9:08 AM EDT

The digital world makes it easy to communicate learning with all stakeholders, without meaningless grades. Let's show what kids do #sunchat

dayankee Apr 10 @ 9:08 AM EDT

I like the idea of recorded conferences as a narrative of learning. Parents learn more. Summative at end of term. #sunchat

ziz87 Apr 10 @ 9:08 AM EDT

@carlameyrink way to set the pace this am! Getting my exercise in later today! #sunchat

msdwater Apr 10 @ 9:08 AM EDT

@DebbyCall6 @carlameyrink good to see ya both! #sunchat

daleyscience Apr 10 @ 9:08 AM EDT

Not sure what the answer is, but progress reports and parent conferences both seem like they could have far better options. #sunchat

@PMcPeake1 @ElisaW5 #sunchat I'd say no, but I wouldn't rule anything out.. Lol

leighmragsdale Apr 10 @ 9:09 AM EDT

We need to be communicating with parents/guardians what their kids are LEARNING. A true reflection of knowledge. #sunchat

carlameyrink Apr 10 @ 9:09 AM EDT

I'd love to know how that works out. Sounds like a great idea #sunchat https://t.co/aNtAFtGpJU

@carlameyrink Haven't worked out the kinks. In the planning stages. Have to find the right tool, sell to parents and give it a shot #sunchat

5StarStudents Apr 10 @ 9:10 AM EDT

It's so important that we provide students with different forms of assessments when grading. #sunchat

daleyscience Apr 10 @ 9:10 AM EDT

@JaimeDonally I jumped through all the hoops & "did well" but always felt like an impostor who wasn't learning #sunchat
