A5: Making kids accountable is more important. The reason we go to school is to grow.We often ask kids what they want to be, but not who they want to be. We need to make kids accountable for the characteristics, dreams, and values that they envision in their future self #edchatph

Let's do it. This can be our advocacy. Encourage Ts to design more formative and self-assessments. #edchatPH

Thank you very much @Mrs_Gilchrist I got to like Tweet chats more and more. I learned a lot in the last hour discussion. Hope you to talk with friends here next time. Have a wonderful weekend! #edchatPH #EDET543

  BONUS A: They are not mutually exclusive. It is important that we BOTH hold students accountable (and—more importantly—empower them to hold themselves accountable) and ensure they learn. When we empower Ss to own their learning, both things occur naturally. 💖 #edchatPH

A3: Love this quote - We should look at the data and determine what is needed to help this S best succeed - not remain in the previous category; with an autopsy - there is no room for growth and that is NEVER the case with our Ss. #edchatPH

  Q3: “Too often, educational tests, grades, and report cards are treated by teachers as autopsies when they should be viewed as physicals.” - Doug Reeves Agree or Disagree? Why? #edchatPH

A4: Assessments of learning 4 learning, as learning have = importance. It helps guide instruction. Ts get a better understanding of whether a child has mastered content or if reteaching is needed. #EdChatPH

Thanks for a fun chat tonight! Learned a lot about my own beliefs and discovered more people to add to my PLN! #edchatPH
Mrs_Gilchrist Feb 15 @ 9:34 PM EST

I like how you said "this S"—yes! Each student's journey is unique. #edchatPH

#Edchatph that’s why I do rounds of self assessment and some peer review and teacher conferencing b4 that final grade. Confidence building

#edchatph great point using the word feedback

Bonus: Good question! Hmm... tough to answer. 🤔We want our Ss to learn & grow. We also need to empower Ss to take ownership in their learning. Student accountability is vital. I think they’re both equally important. #EdchatPH

#edchatPH I am now 180 degrees from where I used to be in terms of grades. I am almost NOT believing in them now, but I used to think they were everything. Reform is needed.

#edchatPh good point. I did not think of that but I do the data check for every S every year!

MadForMaple Feb 15 @ 9:45 PM EST
Bonus: Making sure they learn!!! No brainer. As a 1st Grade teacher, S accountability is not on my radar. 6 year olds depend on parents and T’s for support. They are still developing as small people. Our duty is to help them learn...not hold them to account! #edchatPH

  BONUS: Are we more interested in holding students accountable or making sure they learn? Which is more important? Why? #edchatPH

I would agree based on my definitions of the three. #edchatPh

Thank you for bringing in the early years' perspective; it's important! #edchatPH

Bonus A: 100% LEARN - Our standards do not address lateness, tidiness, or if the evidence of learning was left in the locker or not properly posted to the blog. Let Ss learn and let them show us! #edchatPH
