    A4: That's situational. Depends (in part) on what you taught and the type of assessment you give. #gfedchat
  • judyinmiddle Dec 5 @ 9:55 PM EST
    A4. In some parts yes - there are students who will perform well despite instruction good or bad #gfedchat
  • leslyethiery Dec 5 @ 9:55 PM EST
    #gfedchat A4 I think assessment measures the child’s understanding at the time of assessment, which is why it needs to be ongoing.
  • rlord050 Dec 5 @ 9:56 PM EST

  • AmyAmykruger2 Dec 5 @ 9:56 PM EST
    A4: #gfedchat I believe it can. Maybe not always, but certainly in some situations.
  • MsHTrailblazers Dec 5 @ 9:56 PM EST

    A4: It might! Ts ALWAYS need to be reflective of their teaching. There can't be a "one size fits all" mentality anymore #gfedchat
  • KazBa1313 Dec 5 @ 9:56 PM EST
    A4 Only if the T uses the data to re-teach so all Ss learn it. #gfedchat
  • kfitzgeraldSLP Dec 5 @ 9:56 PM EST
